If you run a small business and aren’t using Twitter, I have to ask, why not?

In 2016 there were 310 million registered Twitter accounts and 500 million tweets a day. Studies show 47% of people who follow a brand on Twitter are more likely to visit that company’s website, meaning you have a 47% higher chance of turning that new traffic into leads. It’s easy to see why more and more companies are using Twitter for marketing purposes.
