I pretty much owe my whole career to Twitter.
I’ve met & learned from some of the best people in my industry there.
In fact, it's safe to say that I wouldn't be where I am today without it.
And because I work in social media marketing, I'm also interacting daily with marketers, writers, social media influencers & business people from around the globe.
People like:
- Peg Fitzpatrick
- Ann Handley

- Amber Osborne
- Neil Patel
To show them all how much I appreciate them, I listed 125 of my favorite people to follow on Twitter.
These are the people who taught me how to market on Twitter.
