3. Understand the Time Zones

4. Brief Tweets

Try to be very brief in your tweets. Twitter already limits you to 140 characters. Try to stay within 80 to 110 to have the best conversions. That will allow you to use enough hashtags. Always try to use two to three relevant hashtags in your post to get better impressions.

5. Share Links

Don’t be afraid to share links of external websites in your tweet if you think they are relevant. A lot of people use social media like Facebook, Twitter as their news source. If you can share authentic news earlier than others, you will get a lot of retweets.

6. Always Response

If you have a big twitter profile with a lot of followers, this will be challenging but it is still very important to respond to as many people as you can. This doesn’t only offer trust and engagement but also increases the brand value of your twitter profile. People love to see responses from the person that they are following. Let them have that experience.

7. Value

It might take time, but if you are offering enough value, you will definitely have your desired followers and engagement at the end of the day. It might take time but it will come for sure.

Don’t always try to promote something. Be natural and be human with the audience. Try to understand their emotions and try to be relevant to the reason that they are following you for.

8. Share Images

It is important that you share images once in a while from your profile. Again, the images should be relevant. Images get at least 300% more engagement than regular tweets. Try to stand out from the crowd with the help of a very specific image that touches the heart of your audience.

Be very selective in what you are choosing to post and you will always have a chance to get massive shares and retweets.

9. Don’t Overdo It

You should not tweet once in every hour. This is a concept called ‘drowning into own content’. You have to escape from that philosophy. If you post more than the twitter average, you will start seeing decline on your engagement rates.

The best idea is to post 1 to 3 times a day on your Twitter profile. Yes, there will obviously be those exception days depending on situations. Other than that, try to stay to this format and you will always be fine.

10. Twitter Ads

If you want quick results without spending hours, then Twitter ads is your ultimate option. It is a simple tool to increase your engagement in exchange for money. Promoted tweets always generate massive response and it is tough for common users to differentiate the promoted and the non-promoted tweets, which makes it even more effective.

Therefore, if nothing else works for you then the last option should be Twitter ads. There are different types of Twitter ads. Make sure that you know what you are doing.

These were the top 10 twitter engagement tips that you should try to follow if you want to increase the engagement rate on your profile. Always remember that nothing happens overnight on social media, unless you are working for it. Give it enough time and have patience. Patience is the key as it takes time in building audience.
