I use Twitter on a daily basis, along with my friends. We use it as a communications tool, mostly to help spread the message of responsible conservatism and traditional values.
But there are tons of people who use it for totally different things, like this British boy who used it to help out his dear mom!
A couple weeks ago, Martyn Hett from Manchester, England checked in with his mom to see if she was having a nice time at her craft fair. She told him she was a little sad that no one was buying any of her stuff.
Feeling sorry for her, Martyn tweeted the picture of his mom’s stall at the craft fair.
My mum has set up her own stall at a craft fair and has messaged me to say she hasn’t sold anything yet and my heart is breaking pic.twitter.com/cdzHn77pM5

From Buzzfeed:
Not long after Martyn tweeted the picture, a friend bought a glove monster from her Depop page.
My heart is melting, thank you @LiamLambrini for being her first customer pic.twitter.com/m7xjNDz9Cc

And before she knew it, Martyn’s mom, Figen, had a lot of work to do to keep up with demands!
Met up with me mam for the first time since her viral fame. She’s stocked up on materials and has had a very busy weekend knitting 😂💖 pic.twitter.com/fCO0fqoVnh

Since becoming a viral hit, Figen even bought a book to help her connect with her fanbase on Twitter.
Omg she’s bought this book to help her cope with her new followers/fanbase on twitter 😂😂 I just love her pic.twitter.com/9R1pUmlYt9

If you fancy logging onto Figen’s Depop page to buy something, you might have some trouble because it’s SOLD OUT!
It’s great to have a son who not only cares about his mom, but has the capacity to help out and turn around a failed attempt into a successful plan! Now Martyn’s mom is going to be a Twitter pro!
Twitter is going to be a great way to sell a lot of things from now on. Great going Martyn.
