Here are tips to help you get more followers, clicks, and retweets.
Twitter Tip #1: Your profile picture has a direct effect on the number of followers you get
If you just have the default Twitter egg, you’re going to lose out on followers.
Research shows that you make up your mind about a person within just a few seconds of meeting them.
It’s the same when you meet someone online. That’s why a good candid picture of yourself is a must-have if you want to get more followers.
I’ve known about this tip for a while and that’s why it’s step 1 of 7 in the free guide to getting thousands of Twitter followers.
Twitter Tip # 2 : Tell people why they should follow you
If you have a call to action in your Twitter bio that tells people why they should follow you, then people who come across your profile are more likely to follow.
Twitter Tip #3: Don’t think that public conversations will help you to get more followers
When you reply to someone’s tweet using a mention, it does very little to expand your reach on Twitter.
Instead, check out the next tip to find out how to expand your reach.
Twitter Tip #4: Tweets with interesting links are more likely to get retweeted and will help you expand your reach
Twitter Tip #5: The number of tweets you send out a day has little effect on the number of followers
There’s no such thing as tweeting too much. If you send out a lot of tweets a day, you don’t have to worry about people unfollowing you.
Twitter Tip #6: The more you refer to yourself in a tweet, the less likely your tweet will get retweeted
Using words like “me” or “I” in your tweets won’t get you very many retweets.
Make it mostly about your followers and you’ll be on the right track.
Twitter Tip #7: Tweets with negative words or sentiments are a quick way to get unfollowed
Your followers don’t like negativity.
Statistics show that if the overall tone of your tweets are negative then you will get unfollowed.
Be positive and your followers will keep following you.
Twitter Tip #8: To get more clicks, tweet over longer periods of time
If you send out more than one tweet per hour that has a link in it, you’ll get less clicks on the second and third tweets that you send out that same hour compared to your first tweet.
If you share 4 links or more in the same hour, your click through ratio drops to almost zero.
Therefore, its best to tweet 1 or 2 tweets per hour that contain links to maximize the number of clicks.
Twitter Tip #9: Try tweeting longer tweets to get more clicks
The research shows that longer tweets get more clicks if there is a link in them.
At the same time, don’t forget to leave 10 to 20 empty spaces in your tweets so that your followers can retweet you easily.
Twitter Tip #10: Try putting your links 25% of the way into your tweet. They may get more clicks.
This one sounds weird but tweets that had a link in them a quarter of the way through got more clicks.
Twitter Tip # 11: Using calls to actions in your tweets results in more clicks
Using action verbs like watch, click, check out, view etc. will get you more clicks if you use them in your tweets.
Twitter Tip #12: Tweet later in the day and later in the week to get more clicks
Tweets sent on Thursday thru Sunday get more clicks.
Tweeting later in the day will get you more clicks than tweeting in the morning.
Twitter Tip #13: For the most retweets, try tweeting during Friday afternoons
Friday afternoons seems to be the most popular time when people like to retweet the most.
Twitter Tip #14: Writing great headlines in your tweets will help you to get more clicks and retweets
What you say in your tweets has a direct effect on the number of clicks and retweets that you get.
For help on this, check out this blog post which shows you how to write great headlines.
Twitter Tip #15 Adding “please retweet” to your tweets gets you 4 times more retweets
If you want something retweeted, just add the words “please retweet” at the end of your tweet.
However, if every other tweet you send asks your followers to retweet it, then they’ll eventually get tired of it.
So use this one sparingly.
Twitter Tip #16: Tweeting news or saying things in a new novel way will get you a good amount of retweets
Being unique in your tweets and saying things in a fun way are two great ways to get your followers to give you some Twitter love.
