TIPS & HINTS
——————————————

• Get more friends to see your Hoot by posting earlier in the day with the place & time you'll be going, this way they can plan accordingly. (If you are making plans for later in the week, you should post a few days ahead so that your followers will see it and plan to go too!)

• People that follow you will be notified when you Hoot... so now your friends won't have to start a group-chat to ask what you're doing later!


HAPPY HOOTIN' !! :)
