Twitter is a platform where users can share their thoughts, ideas, and opinions with their followers. If youre struggling to come up with ideas for what to tweet, here are some tips and tricks to help you get started:
-
Keep it short: Tweets can contain up to 280 characters, but being concise is in Twitters DNA and it’s good for marketing. Aim to keep every Tweet focused on one specific message, rather than trying to communicate multiple ideas. If you have more to say, link out to your website or start a Tweet thread.
-
Make clear calls-to-action: Every time you tweet, ask yourself “what do I want people to do when they see this?” and then write it out. Tell your audience to comment below, or to follow you, or to sign up today. If there’s something urgent, emphasize it. Don’t be shy and always make the next steps clear.
-
Add visuals, especially video: Sometimes a single tweet is just not enough. Whether you want to tell a larger story, connect your campaigns, or resurface related tweets, tweet threads are the perfect way to give your audience a bigger picture. You can also create video content with your phone, which is a fully capable multimedia studio in your pocket, giving you everything you need to.
-
Ask your followers: Your followers are an endless source of fresh tweets and ideas. Retweet their content to inspire more customers to share with you. If you can’t find anything, just ask — a photo contest or asking a question to your followers can help prompt user-generated content.
-
Go back to your personas: Think about your target audience and what they might be interested in. Hashtags are a great way to find tweet inspiration. Check out the hashtags you regularly use to see what others are using them for. From there, take a look at the hashtags used by influencers, your followers, industry publications, and your competitors. In addition, check out trending hashtags to see if there’s something going on in the world you can leverage.
