How do you use Twitter?

[Sapphire x]

The Hashtag is a way for people to see your tweets who have the same interests, etc. For instance, if you tweeted something like "Just been surfing! #surfing #surf #beach" then people looking at tweets under those hashtags will see you and be like 'oh, he likes surfing too, I'll follow him' or retweet your tweet.

The @ symbol is for when you want to tweet another user, so that the message is directly to them and not to anyone else.

eg. @twitteruser hi! whats up?

To get followers, include your interests and hobbies in your bio, and if you follow back, etc.

eg. 'Hi my names Sapphire, I love Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj. I ALWAYS follow back!'

This way, people who are interested in the same things that you are will know to follow you.

Don't spam twitter though, constant promotional tweets and tweeting celebs constantly will annoy people and cause them to unfollow you!

Hope I helped!
