I probably hear complaints on a daily basis from people about not having enough Twitter followers. I’m even guilty of questioning myself about why I don’t have as many Twitter followers. Now, I’m not going to say Twitter isn’t a great way to not only market yourself or your brand. It’s practically free marketing, so [...]
