To do this, you must be open to others and put yourself out there. Focus on building relationships instead of just posting updates and promoting your business. A meaningful connection is built on trust, so be authentic and honest. Follow these tips for growing your Twitter audience. Then, you&#8217;ll see results in no time! Read on to discover the best strategies and how to engage in a meaningful way!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimizing_your_posting_schedule\"><\/span>Optimizing your posting schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Scheduling and frequency go hand in hand when it comes to growing your Twitter account. It is generally recommended to tweet three times a day, but after the third tweet, engagement drops. For example, one of Jeff Bullas&#8217; tweets every fifteen minutes, or twenty-four hours a day, and he had a total of 27 million impressions and two hundred thousand engagements in three months. As you continue to monitor your analytics, you can make adjustments to your posting schedule to match the behavior of your audience.<\/p>\n<p>The best time to post on Twitter is between nine and ten AM on Saturday and noon on Sunday. This is because people take Sunday off, so they prefer to post their tweets on that day. The same is true for Friday and Saturday, as the time to post depends on your industry. Generally, it&#8217;s better to post your tweets during these times. But there are some exceptions to this rule.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Including_images_in_your_tweets\"><\/span>Including images in your tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Including images in your tweets can help your audience understand what you&#8217;re saying more easily. For example, a photo of your mascot could say something more than a few words alone. This is particularly useful for those tweets that you want to be as visual as possible. Facebook recently added colourful backgrounds to status updates, a great way to grab attention and encourage sharing of user-generated content.<\/p>\n<p>The use of images can also increase engagement on Twitter, including retweets, favorites, and clicks. According to Buffer&#8217;s research, tweets that included images received 150% more retweets than those without. This suggests that pictures are an excellent way to capture people&#8217;s attention and entice them to read more and follow you. While images may be difficult to incorporate in tweets, you can find pre-made templates or use a photo editing tool to help you create an image that best represents your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Including_hashtags_in_your_poll_posts\"><\/span>Including hashtags in your poll posts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Including hashtags in your poll posts is a great way to gain exposure on Twitter. Polls are an effective promotional tool and can increase your Twitter reach and engagement. For example, Nissan promoted the 2017 Armada by using a poll. By including hashtags in your poll posts, you can increase your brand awareness and expand your Twitter audience. Listed below are tips for growing your Twitter following.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your tweets are short and simple. Ask general questions and avoid asking too specific or personal. Ask questions about a current event or general topics like office politics or a favorite color. Also, make your polls new every week. This way, they can be a great way to engage new followers. Followers will be drawn to your tweets when they see a new question from your brand.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Engaging_with_other_members_of_your_community\"><\/span>Engaging with other members of your community<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most effective ways to grow your Twitter account is by engaging with other members of your community. A community is a group of people who share similar interests, values, and behaviors. To grow your community, try to provide unique content and encourage others by sharing your thoughts. For example, you can share jokes to help people feel comfortable sharing their views with others. By following these tips, you&#8217;ll soon see your Twitter account grow exponentially.<\/p>\n<p>Building a community takes daily work and consistency. You need to post useful content every single day and engage with people on a regular basis. Your content should be relevant and help them solve their problems. To get started, search competitor accounts for non-branded hashtags related to your niche. Once you&#8217;ve located these communities, start following and liking some of the Tweets that your audience is looking for.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8PyXXRseSSU\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"262\" width=\"468\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Engage in a Meaningful Way to Grow Your Twitter Audience If you want to increase your Twitter audience, you must learn how to engage in a meaningful way.
