Life is give and take; most of you engage popular accounts and leave the small ones because you think, well, the tweet won’t blow anyway; why should I waste my engagement, forgetting that big account started from somewhere too.
If you don’t engage people, you won’t be engaged too. Try to make friends with influencers you know can help, build a relationship then ask them for retweets.

Regardless of your account size, follow them. Also
