“If it doesn’t have value to your followers, then it’s seen as spam or self-promotion.” Under this guideline, Rod Stewart’s tweet about having a child from each decade would seem to justify its swagger, because it’s information that his fans can share with others, or perhaps bait their grandparents with.” “Your content has to be useful to people,” she said. We were so wowed by the fact that you’re sending the tweet to and and that we lost the fact that you just secured your first booking as a yoga clown.” “Second, readers are turned off when they’re made more aware of a tweet’s strategy than its content. Your followers probably are willing to tolerate two or three newspaper reviews of your new monograph about combat ethics of the Boer Wars, but not 17.” First, self-promotion becomes unseemly when it is viewed as repetitive. “But if there’s no algorithm for determining when self-promotion has crossed the line, are there any general principles to be considered?
