An important feature of each platform is that they provide you with information about your followers, which includes their age range, gender and location interests. Ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 11pt;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">Who is your audience?
