A quick tip on starting a tweet with an @:

If you begin a tweet with an @, only people who follow both you AND the account you’re mentioning will be able to see it in their feed.

Example:

If you want your tweet to be seen by everyone that follows your account, just make sure that you include something prior to the @. This can be anything from an intro word such as ‘Hey @account’, or if you’re short on space, a simple . Example:

Simple, no?

Just remember: If you want everyone to see your tweet, make sure to include something prior to the @!
