“What should be in a Tweet?” Here is an overview (keeping it short and sweet like a tweet) to start with, when it comes to what to have in a tweet. In a tweet, you have only got 280 characters, which is less space compared to other social media postings.
So for example when you Tweet:
- When you tweet you could ask a question, maybe add your thoughts or say where you are, for example at an event.
- Tag a relevant person who might be with you or you want to notify, a business or location you are at is good too.
- Select one or two relevant hashtags (3 max.).
- Don’t forget the emojis for your tone of voice (those little icons which show if it’s a happy, sad or serious tweet).
- For more engagement add a photo, or a video or event a GIF (they can be such fun!). You have the opportunity to tag more people in the photo rather than the caption of the tweet. If you add a video or GIF you can’t tag as you can in a photo, so tag in the caption.
- As a call to action add a link, but add a shortened link if you want someone to click through to a website, blog, video or social media post, use Bitly to shorten your link as long links take up lots of valuable space.
To wrap up…
