Many marketers know that social media can be a great promotional tool. You may already be using sites like Facebook or Twitter to promote your business, but it might be worth it to stop and ask yourself:

Am I doing this correctly?

When it comes to social media, sites make frequent changes and if you’re using these services you should make sure you’re up-to-speed.

Here’s one quick tip you may not know about Twitter:

Did you know that when you start a Tweet with a username, it might not be seen by all of your followers?

Tweets that begin with a username only appear in the timelines of the user sending the tweet, the username it’s directed at and the timelines of those who happen to follow both.

To make sure your Tweets show up in all your followers’ feeds, put a period in front of any Tweet that begins with a username. This way, you’ll be able to get your message out to more people.
