‘A tweet without an @mention is a missed opportunity’

Alexis Grant

Ninety percent of your tweets should include an @mention according to Alexis Grant, guest-blogging on Steve Buttry’s The Buttry Diary.

“Whenever you include someone else’s @handle in your tweet, that tweet shows up in their @mentions feed. Which means they’ll read your tweet. Which means they might click on your @handle to find out more about you. Which means they might follow you back.”

Grant, an entrepreneurial writer and digital strategist, is managing editor of Brazen Life, a blog for ambitious young professionals.
