How do I increase audience engagement?
You can connect directly with your audience, discover emerging content and trends, and build a community, all on Twitter. Start engaging with people on Twitter by following these tried-and-true tips.
- Post native media
Go beyond 280 characters and add videos, GIFs, and photos to your Tweets. The more media-forward content you feature on your timeline, the more potential engagement you’ll see on your Tweets.
- Optimize your content
Auto-looping video content (under :60s) encourages your audience to view content in full, which drives video completion rate and pushes your content to new audiences with increased engagement. Don’t forget to include captions and ALT text on your videos and photos so more people can experience them.
- Connect with what’s happening
React to the conversation that’s happening around you. Explore trending topics and hashtags and add relevant content and commentary.
- Start a conversation
Whether it’s asking a question, posting a poll, or starting a Space, kick the conversation off yourself. And when people respond to you? Like, Quote Tweet, or respond to their replies.
