2. Twitter Analytics to Investigate your Success

Twitter includes more information than you actually need to conduct a comprehensive analysis. There are key questions to ask yourself with regards to Twitter analytics.

  • Do you have any relevant goals related to Twitter use?
  • What metric would be most useful to inform the overall assessment of your project?
  • Use that metric at the Twitter dashboard.
  • The Twitter analytics dashboard allows for visualization of your Tweet activity as well as the overall behavior and interest of the people who follow your account.

3. Understanding Twitter Engagement

  • Two key metrics are the engagement rate and the total number of engagements from one user.

There are a number of ways that a user can engage with Twitter content. The user might decide to retweet or follow based on a Tweet. They could also like and reply, link to, or expand the spread and network of the Tweet.

4. Natural Ways to Increase Audience Engagement

  • Tweet at times when your audience is going to be active.
  • Utilize apps as a tool to help manage the scheduling and posting of Tweets.
  • Include special features in the Tweets such as photos, quotes, hashtags, videos, and numerical data.
  • Increase the frequency of posts and keep the information short and direct.
  • Host weekly chats and live tweet from various events.
  • Express gratitude for your followers who share your content.

Knowing the strengths of Twitter creates a natural engagement strategy.  Take advantage of apps like Followerwonk and Buffer to know how users are interacting with your page and decide the best time to Tweet.

Including special features like photos or hashtags increases the odds of retweeting by 35 and 16 percent. Use Twitter often throughout the day and make sure to include Twitter chats with industry leaders and from marquee events and conferences.
