#1: Refine Your Twitter Bio

Even big brands understand the power of asking for a retweet.
Your goal is to get more engagement for your tweets, right? Sometimes you just have to ask, and many times people are happy to oblige.

Hashtags let you interact with the most viral and current topics at any given time.

Chef the movie
There is a movie about a middle-aged cook, his early-teen son, who TWEETs and VINEs and helps his dad’s career: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2883512/
