Bring Tweeple to Your Center of Content

Twitter Transportation

Have you ever thought about how effective Twitter can be as a transport mechanism?

Twitter can be very effective as a short message, a headline, and to start the process to get someone to visit your center of content. A tweet is more like a headline. A tweet cannot be long. A Twitter message must catch the attention of a reader quickly. A tweet can act like a headline and introduce a thought or concept. It can be an introduction to something that contains more information and more value.

Short and Longer Term Value of Hashtags

Leveraging Hashtags on Twitter

A hashtag is a word or phrase that is written without any spaces and prefixed with a ‘#’ symbol. Like so: #example

The word Hashtag (#) has become so significant that it was added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2014. The actual hashtag definition says: “a word or phrase preceded by the hash sign (#) used on social media websites, especially Twitter, to identify messages on a specific topic”.

Hashtags can be a very powerful tool to promote your content on Twitter. Of course, they can be used to help you find things – which means they act like a search engine on Twitter. But this “search-like” function for hashtags is fundamental to helping you gain more exposure for your tweets as other people use hashtags to find your content.

How To Make a Tweet with 4 Images

A tweet can only be 140 characters. This is a wonderful thing. No verbose or long-winded announcements on Twitter! Because of the short nature of a tweet, a picture can really boost engagement and help your tweet to get noticed.

You can attach up to four images in any single tweet and for some tweets, this can make a great deal of sense. These 4 images will display as a preview collage in your followers’ timeline. Anyone viewing the tweet can expand it to see each photo individually.

The Perfect Twitter Profile

Your profile is your foundation on Twitter. If it is not set up well, then the people you want to follow you may not. Your hard work to identify niche-focused followers and compel them to follow you will not work as well (or may even work poorly) if you do not have a strong profile.
