Thea of Fibrous
offers three pieces of advice to those new to Twitter:1. Fill in your profile. Mention your hobbies and your interests. Many people, including me, don't automatically follow back, so the profile is something I look at to determine if I want to follow you.
2. Do at least 10 tweets before you start following tons of people. How will people know that you're an interesting and helpful person and that they'd like to follow you and listen to what you have to say if you haven't actually tweeted anything yet?
3. Don't just talk about yourself. Retweet (RT) what others are saying, and start chatting with others!

suggests:
1 Spread your marketing tweets out during the day to reach people who are not on Twitter 24/7 (there are a few!).
2. Personalize your marketing tweets, try to “catch the eye” with the tweet’s opening words. Don’t just send the tweet “as is” using “share” buttons available on many sites including etsy.
And most importantly,
3. Intersperse your marketing tweets with personal ones, retweets and replies.
