**Make it personal. Unless you want people thinking you have zero personality, develop a character for your profile. Add a profile pic, a cover pic, and a short bio.
**Tweet about others’ works too (alongside your own). We all love free publicity, but just not all the time.
**Be polite and remember the good manners your parents taught you applies on Twitter.
**Engage in conversations with people around you. Thank tweeps who refer or retweet you, say hi when they follow, and always reply to questions.
**Use humour, a lot. Funny equals followers. Ka-ching!
Don'ts
**Retweet compliments. A little self-promotion is acceptable, but the slope is extremely slippery. Leave the endless endorsements to businesses and celebrities.
**Tweet about your daily schedule. We don’t need to know what time you go to the gym or take your morning loo-break.
**Ask people to RT. It makes you sound desperate. If they want to, they’ll do it themselves.
**Overdo hashtags. Using too many makes it difficult to read, limit to three at most.
**Follow others just because you want them to follow you back.
**Turn Twitter into a battleground. Instead meet for coffee and engage in a few rounds of arm wrestling.

**Newly in love: TDA is gross and you will lose your single followers. #getaroom
**Heartbroken: it may be the end of the world for you but it’s just another work day for the rest of us. #celinedion
**Don’t know who the current prime minister of Nepal is. Twitteratis can be extremely cruel towards those they think are not smart or witty enough. #survivalofthesmartest
**Your mom still washes your undergarments. #underage #hi5
