From my experience, Twitter marketing and engagement is not a simple and straight forward task. It’s a time consuming, unappreciated, and sometimes draining experience. As a marketer, you have to write and share links to posts, reply to comments, and monitor the tone and direction of conversation in your Twitter community.

 

 

Fortunately, there is a powerful and robust tool known as Commun.it, which can help your sustain the interest of your Twitter community.   Commun.it has already proven to be a powerful tool for generating straightforward leads and engaging Twitter communities.
