How to increase your Twitter

Engagement

When you log onto twitter you are always expecting

a flurry of notifications, retweets, responses and

favorites to your tweets but are disappointed when

these things are absent. The major reason behind

the absence of engagement is your lack of

engagement. Whether you are a celebrity, a

personality, or just a common Joe, you can always

increase your online presence through Twitter by

putting just a little bit of effort. Let’s learn a few tips

that might help you in increasing your twitter

engagement for good.

1. Keep it Short-er:

Twitter offers you an already meager 140 character

limit and in that limit you have to further restrict

yourself. People go on Twitter to read short, precise

and informative or sometimes funny little messages

that keep their attentions engaged. In a site where

the maximum limit is 140 characters, people would

only look for and read Tweets that look shorter than

the maximum. So keep it short, keep it simple and

keep it engaging.

2. A Picture Speaks a Thousand

Words:

Making a tweet which is less than 140 characters

and is interesting that cannot be a difficult task. To

overcome this restriction, you can always post or

share a picture! Say for example you want to tweet

something cute your dog did. You could say, “Oh my

god, my dog did the cutest thing ever!” and then

describe that cute thing in 140 characters- or you

could post a picture. Statistics show that more

people will view Tweets that have pictures with

them rather than normal text tweets. So, post

pictures and gather followers! You can use twitter

automation tools to schedule the tweets.

3. Hashtags are your best friends:

Hashtags are your way to go to find out what is

trending in the world around you. People will actively

seek out news and information on trending topics

and furthermore will look for what opinions people

have to offer about them. This is where you and your

twitter account step in. Look for a topic that

interests you, and then post a tweet about it with the

relevant hashtag. You could also post hashtags in

your normal tweets that garners the attention of

strangers, gains your followers and ultimately

increases your account’s engagement.

4. Tell Us Who you are:

Your Twitter Bio data is the first thing a potential

follower will read. The prospect of you gaining

followers and appealing to someone all depends on

how precise and interesting your bio data is. Refrain

from using generic, boring and overused punch lines

in your Bio data like “Cat lover” or something similar.

Give a summary of yourself in that small Bio Data

box, make it interesting and watch how you slowly

have a more active and engaging presence in the

Twitter world.

With all this said, the only thing you need to do is to

be a regular poster. Keep in mind all these tips and

be sure to make use of them whenever you log onto

twitter next time. For sure, your next time will be a

more positive, fun filled and as expected, a highly

engaging twitter experience.
