A8: I feel like effective thought leaders are followed. Doesn't have to be 50,000; but more than 1,000 would be nice. #TwitterSmarter

A8. I think that if you have a community, you will establish credibility #twittersmarter

A8 A large, quality following, makes you stand out as an expert. More likely to gain new followers & influencer partnerships #twittersmarter

A8.2: PLUS, the more followers (assuming they're not bots), the more chances to have your content seen and shared! #TwitterSmarter

A8. Shows you have a strong, interconnected network – people will listen to you, and you’ve shown you care about what you do #TwitterSmarter

A8: I guess bigger followings help establish credibility. Why should I follow a 5yo account with 1k tweets & 100 followers? #TwitterSmarter

A8 Twitter isn’t a meritocracy. It’s rich-get-richer. Having a lot of followers improves your chances of RTs, more exposure. #TwitterSmarter
— Lauchlin MacDonald (@Lauchlin) July 13, 2017
A8 Definitely credibility. You can say all you want, but you need to back it up w/ background, experience, achievements, etc #twittersmarter
— Squeeze 🇵🇷🦇🔊 (@SqueezeTaxes) July 13, 2017
