Schedule your tweets for evenings and weekends, so you don\u2019t miss out on traffic. Make sure you include imagery\u00a0in your tweets where possible. People are more likely to share this kind of content.<\/p>\n<p>You can gain relevant fans if you\u00a0follow other people in your industry. You can also find influencers\u00a0and ask them to share your content. Make sure you always\u00a0approach influencers\u00a0in an appropriate manner, if you are serious about getting a valuable response. You can also share other people\u2019s content, just make sure it aligns with your business.

Instagram may be all about imagery, but an interesting caption can really put your picture or video into context.<\/p>\n<p>Use your bio to post relevant links.\u00a0Then mention the link in the photo description, so your fans\/customers are aware that it is there.
