🧪Use twitter as a lab, testing your idea on your audience.

📈 Use Buffer as a tool to post often and a lot. You need to keep on testing.
♻️ When a tweet doesn't "work", keep on crafting/tweaking it.
🖊️ When a tweet "works", post it on LinkedIn + blog about it!

⬆️ When a tweet "works", explore the top tweets/comments, those are gold.
