Unlike Facebook, which allows but does not encourage promotions on their platform, Twitter is very much in favor of allowing users to run promotions through their platform. Using your Twitter account, you can easily attract new users and visits to your website or blog through the use of promotions, contests and sweepstakes. However, Twitter does have a few simple rules and suggestions that you should be sure to follow when promoting your sweepstakes through their system. Unfortunately, violation of these stipulations can lead to the suspension of your account or your followers’ accounts. So, in order to ensure that all accounts remain in good standing, here are some simple rules to follow when running promotions on Twitter.<\/p>\n
