These tweeting tips will ensure your audience gets the most out of your tweets. Below is a quick synopsis of this Twitter infographic.

Twitter Engagement

Acknowledge and engage people with the @mention. Use the @handle to reply or direct your message to another Twitter user.

You may say something like “@DanielTosh you are looking pretty skinny, do you have the manorexia?”.

Remember to also reply to @mentions to keep the conversation going.

Throw in a #hashtag or two to reach Twitter users outside of your circle who follow those #hashtags.

If you are tweeting for business, consider sponsoring your tweet as a Promoted Tweet to reach even more followers and potential customers.

Twitter Composition & Timing

Twitter allows you to tweet up to 140 characters, but this doesn’t mean you have to.

Try keeping it to 50 characters or less and remember to use @mentions and #hashtags.

Need to include a URL in your tweet? Use a URL shortener such as bit.ly.

Make sure your tweets are also timely and relevant.

Schedule your tweets to maintain a consistent presence.

Twitter Accessibility

If you point to a link via a tweet, make sure the website is mobile optimized.

Most people are using their smart phones and/or iPads to interact on Twitter.

Pointing someone to an un-optimized website may result in unsatisfactory user experience.

Twitter Visuals & Images

Take a picture with your smart phone and include it in your next tweet.

People love to see whats happening in “real life” and pictures are a great way to keep your Twitter audience engaged.
