Hello marketers!

I hope you all are feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the week after a relaxing Bank Holiday weekend.?

Today, I wanted to share some quick tips on how to improve your Twitter engagement in just one week!?

Did you know that in 2021, Twitter's user base globally amounted to approximately 429.79 million users? This number is predicted to reach 497.48 million users by 2025.?

With a network as enormous as this, why wouldn’t you want to promote your business on Twitter?

When utilising social platforms such as Twitter, it’s crucial to ensure that you’re optimising your posts to boost engagement.?

1. Take Advantage Of Trending Topics

Understanding and leveraging trends is vital for a brand to remain relevant and competitive. Producing content centred around trends can boost your brand visibility and subsequently send engagement rocketing. However, it's important to keep in mind that relevance is key. Instead of posting tweets in response to every trending topic to gain visibility, consider a more targeted strategy - less is often more. Your tweets can act as a bridge between what the internet is talking about and the products or services your company has to offer.

2. Shake Up Your Content

I’m sure you’ve heard it a million times before, and I'm sure you’ll hear it a million times again - but content really is king. Offering multiple formats of content on Twitter can help your business connect with a wide audience. Mix up your content depending on your desired outcome for that tweet. For example, if you’re wanting to boost website traffic, it's probably best to avoid lengthy copy and overusing hashtags. Images and videos are a great way to instigate comments and conversation, whilst quotes, memes and other relatable content are perfect for generating retweets.?

3. Engage With Other Accounts

This point is definitely the simplest step to boost engagement but is usually overlooked by many. If you want others to engage with your content, a great place to start is by interacting with them first. When you can, like, comment and retweet other users' material, and following them can also help. When you interact with other accounts, people are more likely to pay attention to what you are sharing online.? This is especially true given that many businesses don't take or have the time to interact with a large number of followers, so when you do, it can prove valuable.?

4. Recycle Content

If you uploaded successful content on Twitter previously, it doesn't mean its shelf life is over; you could extend it by reusing it. This is such a productive way to post good quality content whilst saving time and effort. When recycling previous content it’s crucial to use timeless topics. You don’t want your business to appear out of touch with the present by reposting content that was only relevant 6 months ago. A fantastic way to recycle your content is by breaking down long-form content into smaller doses. Try breaking content such as blogs or articles into bite-size chunks to create shorter, snappier tweets.?

5. Measure & Analyse

Without measurements and analytics, any tips and tricks can be completely useless. The most effective strategy to optimise your content for increased Twitter interaction is to calculate your engagement rate for each tweet to understand what's working and what's not. Twitter Analytics provides you with a snapshot of your account's social interaction performance as well as the engagement rate for every tweet. However, it is important not to be discouraged by the numbers. Simply concentrate on your own results, such as which of your tweets received the most interaction. You'll be well on your way to the top of the Twitter timeline if you take action to replicate what works and discard what doesn't!
