Find more A&E Twitter accounts at our list of Who to Follow in Boston.

1. Hashtags are a tool. Make sure to use them to your advantage (and don’t overdo it).

2. Twitter is a platform for conversation so it’s very important to interact with your followers: retweet, tweet at them, etc.

3. Tweet frequently! With the amount of accounts people follow, it’s very easy to get lost in your followers’ feeds.

4. Stay true to your audience by maintaining a consistent image/brand.

5. Keep Twitter fun and upbeat, especially with an account and following like ours.
