Although we have mentioned the depressing state of organic reach on Facebook. But it has not affected Twitter to such extent yet. So, the organic strategy is still a surefire method for promoting contents on Twitter  

It is important to figure out the best time to promote your content. To do that, simply go to Twitter dashboard and check track engagement levels. 

You should look for days/times when your network has the highest response.that’s your target. 



Post your tweets during those days/times on your Twitter feed. 

You can further boost your tweet engagement by posting updates before or after the hour to take advantage of the users who are checking their social feeds. 



There are many studies that show that there are certain days of the week or time of day when the user is active in Twitter, which creates greater possibility that these will engage with your post. 

According to Buffer that was tweets posted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday have higher CRTs than those posted during other days of the week. 



Some research states that posting between 12 pm to 6 pm is the optimal time for tweeting while another group of the study suggests that the time between 12 pm to 3 pm on Monday through Friday is the best time for posting. 

There are scheduling tools to schedule your post to go live at peak hours ahead of time. Such as “Hootsuite” or “Buffer”. Pick whichever works for you. 




2. Twitter polls




Twitter is a social media. If you want to get the most out of social media, online social interaction is a must. and one of the methods for connecting with your audience in a more direct way is using the Twitter poll. 

It is also one of the easiest ways to create more activity on Twitter. 



All you need to do is add a new tweet and click on the poll icon at the bottom of the screen.

Most people use polls for fun while the followers compete in polls.   

This Twitter feature can help you engage with your audience as it allows the audience to share their opinions, thoughts, and views. 

Although any person with a Twitter account can create a poll but creating a unique poll with engaging questions take a lot of thinking. 


To be able to tap into the curiosity of the audience by asking questions of relevant matters, sharing the results of the poll and retweeting the most interesting answers. 

This will increase the number of audiences and their engagement rate. 

You will also be able to understand the mindset of the audience which will help you strategize your content promotion plan.




3. Include Visual Assets



In today’s world, everyone uses the internet and everyone reads text on websites and web pages. 

Most people don’t even bother to read the whole text and simply scrolls through it. 

However, people are more like to give attention to visual contents then simple texts. 

Audience these days shows a greater reaction to visual contents that has videos, image, and GIF. 

After all visual information is easier and faster to process in our brain. 


By adding videos and images you can get the audience’s attention. A simple image can promote your content to your audience in a flash. 

Videos will provide greater information in a more appealing. 

According to Adweek - 
"Videos are six times more likely to be retweeted than photos and three times more likely to be retweeted than GIFs."

Videos also have a greater lifespan than text or images. 


As they are a great way to share behind the scenes content, elicit emotions. You can also go live as well. 

Live videos are automatically posted as tweets and will still be available even after the stream ends.






4. Twitter Ads & Paid Tactics



Ads are the fastest way to boost engagement for promoting content if you have sufficient followers. 

Ads on Twitter are more costly than Facebook ads but they can boost engagement when you need it the most. 

Promoted tweets are the best choice for this objective.there is also conversational ads. 

This ad is designed to increase brand influence. 


They resemble promoted tweets but you can add CTAs that encourage users to tweet hashtags that clan amplifies your brand.

Conversational ads are powerful because your paid post will attract tons of organic post that are directly related to your brand. 


Although Twitter is not as advanced as Facebook, it is gaining significant attention from interested parties. 

As organic reach is declining. Marketers are switching to paid tactics. 

It is expected since social networks have decided to further monetize themselves by going public. 

Currently paid tactics are not only used for content promotion but also for promoting Twitter accounts. 

And the use and demand for paid tactics are constantly rising. 


For marketers, this new strategy social networks have opened up a whole new world to explore with boundless marketing and promotion opportunities. 

Marketers who had a hard time to promote to contents on Twitter are now focusing on community building. 

The fundamentals of online marketing war has also changed, instead of competitor targeting marketers are now targeting keywords from tweet interactions. 


This method is much more effective than competitor targeting as marketers can easily identify potential and actual targets and promote their contents to them instead of the masses who may or may not be interested. 

Twitter also has another type of ad unit called website card. 

It has a CTA button for direct download. although they receive less clicks but more impressive than other ad units. 


Actually, the effectiveness of website card varies from business to business. 

Some business ads will have a better result than others. So test the card yourself. 

It doesn’t matter which ad unit is executed on Twitter, it’s important that it contains visual assets and a strong CTA 


5. Hashtags


The hashtag is another way to gather up all the audience of a specific agenda or issue which can greatly help the promotion of any specific content. 

If the promotional content gains enough popularity, it will create a campaign hashtag that links together all the related contents and intensify the curiosity of the crowd. 

However, it is also recommended to be careful while using it on tweets. 

Using hashtags without realizing the context behind them may provide negative results. 

Therefore all hashtags should be researched before using them. 

You can easily do that by clicking the hashtag or typing the hashtag on search bar of Twitter to see its origin and better comprehend its context. 

It is also important to avoid certain types of hashtags such as hashtags used in memoriam. 

Because trying to capitalize on such branding/business results in a bad way and most likely will backfire. 


Tweet that contains hashtags receives two times more engagement than those that don’t use hashtags while tweets with more than two hashtags receive 17% less engagement than normal. 

Thus Using more hashtags will do more harm than good. 

You can also use Twitter analytics to find the most popular hashtags. 

There is also a tool called “Hashtagify” to find the best hashtags among many. 






These tools suggest hashtags based on the keywords you enter. 

It can also determine the strength of the hashtags before using them to prevent any mishaps. 

Another alternative Tool is “RiteTag”. It also works like hashtagify.       



6. Go cross channel by mining your other content


Promotion of contents success depends on the engagement of the audience. 

Greater the audience greater the promotion. it is not absolutely necessary to stick to a certain topic. 

Your Twitter feed can become a way to showcase your brand narrative as time passes. 

By sharing different news, events, positive brands news, reviews, research and focusing on customer case studies. 

Contents provided by you for other channel can also boost your Twitter audience.

As you continue to update your Twitter with various news, issues and agenda it also attracts a mix of audience to follow your account.

It is also recommended to seek out influential persons. 

There are thousands of Twitter users with millions of followers. 


By identifying the specific influencers who are relevant to your contents, attempt to interact with them. 

Their support can give your audience a huge buff which will result in greater engagement rate. 

There are many tools on the internet that can also help a marketer to seek out influencers to their specific needs.

One of such example is Klout. 

This tool rates all influencer from 1 to 100. Greater the score, more influence they have on social media. 

The most influential peoples have 90+ scores. 

For a niche marketer finding an influencer will not easy as the top influencers will not bother with niche marketing but you can use this tool to compare between influencers. 

Normally influencer with a score over 63 is the top 5% of all the user in social media. 


7. Analyze what worked and what didn’t 


Promoting content on Twitter has many methods. 

And each method may seem better than the other but it is not possible to focus on all the methods at the same time. 

Therefore you have to analyze past years records and figure out which method worked for which content and why. 

And whether that method will bring positive impact at present as well. 

It may sound simple but it is actually the most important thing for a marketer. 

As many companies in the past failed to understand this simple concept and failed. 

Taking your time to focus on this can help you develop multiple topics which you can research to figure out what works best for you. 






The questions you should be asking are: 



"Which subject matter generate the most leads?" 

"Are there any formats to generate more interest and social share?"  

"Which assets aid to generate better business results?"  


As you continue to ponder these questions you will be able to determine the pros and cons of different methods. 

Once you have determined a specific method, you can finally begin to start to brainstorm for content ideas.  


Twitter is one of the leading social media for providing brand awareness and generating more leads. 

However, Twitter is more dynamic than any other social media. 

It is one of the major social media platform used by millions of users and active almost most of them. 

Using hashtags and follow strategy of Twitter has made this simply more engaging and interactive than other social media platforms. 

Thousands of tweets are being generated every second. 

In order to survive in such rapidly changing social platform, your Twitter marketing tweets have to be unique so that it can stand out among the millions of tweets. 

Always give importance to the basics. 

Such as Twitter profile, an easy to remember brand name and profile photo that is a brand logo or personal photo. 

Optimize your bio to reflect exactly what you want people to see.
