A6. Honestly, I would be doing more #TwitterChats. They seem to be the best for organic followers other than viral tweets. #TwitterSmarter
— Dominic Cruz (@I_Am_DCruz) 2 November 2017
A6. You have to simultaneously engage with outbound content and reply to inbound engagement: follows, mentions etc. #TwitterSmarter
— Rachel Miller (@rachelloumiller) November 2, 2017
A6. Listening! I learn so much from the folks I follow on Twitter. #TwitterSmarter

A6. Twitter Lists and engaging! #twittersmarter

A6: Follow up with any mentions, new followers, engage in recent chats, give fans positive exp…& freak out w/ only 20min ? #TwitterSmarter
— Julie A Lichtenberg (@jalichtenberg) 2 November 2017
