Twitter may be the most underused platform by writers

I have read some people who only tweet once or twice a day. To be honest with you, unless you have a dedicated fan base, not many people will see your tweet. There are too many users on Twitter for them to see your tweet. Sometimes you have to be like Gary Vee and tweet as much as you can.
