After you send, you’ll witness a miracle. People might like it (a heart icon), retweet it (a pair of arrows), or reply to it (usually with a screenshot of a moth). Do not refresh the page obsessively—that’s the behavior of a mad scientist.
If nobody interacts, don’t panic. Failure is a badge of honor. One study found that 40% of tweets are never read by another human. Your tweet might be floating in a digital graveyard next to a guy who tweeted “I’m at the airport” in 2013. That’s fine.
