Short?
Sometimes you may need more
than one Tweet to communicate a
single message. The official
Twitter method is to create a
thread; a series of connected
Tweets.
The Thread
1. Click the Tweet button to draft
a new Tweet.
2. To add another Tweet, click
the highlighted plus icon.

adding all the tweets you want
in the thread, click the “Tweet
all” button.

Just 2-3
A thread with 2 or 3 Tweets will
appear connected by a line
distinguishing them as a bundle.
If there are more than 4 Tweets in
a thread viewers will need to click
on “show this thread”.
Walkaround
TwitLonger allows you to type in
as long a message as you like, it
will then post that message on
your Twitter page. The first
portion is visible, then users need
to click on the URL to view the
rest.

across 4 separate images.

can tag up to 10 people.
Those tagged in will receive
a message.

pictures for one post.
Multiple images display as a
collage: one main image and
three smaller ones.
Be Creative
You could use the images to
display the winners of a
competition, testimonials or
you can display a product in
action.

6. 6
PICTURE WITH EVERY POST
Pro Tip
Make sure if you
add a picture to a
post that it is
relevant.
Picture Post
Research shows that a
post with a picture on
Twitter is twice as likely to
be shared or have a like
than those without.
Always include a relevant
picture.
Vary the pictures:
some should have
relevant content on
it.

7. 7
GROUP HASHTAGS
Theme Your Hashtags
Put Hashtags In to Groups
Use 1-2 Hashtags Max
For Each Tweet
Use “Events” Section
Hashtags = x2 Engagement
Different Tweet =
Different Hashtag
Not every message is the
same. With Twitter is
important to group your
#hashtags so when you
Tweet about a certain
topic, the hashtags you
use relates to it.
Grouping hashtags
means that each Tweet
relates nicely to that
keyword. It prevents
confusion and means
your tweets will get found
more easily in a crowded
market.
Make use of Twitter’s
Analytics. In the Events
section you can see the
current trends. Therefore,
you can create thresh
#hashtags to build brand
awareness.
Research shows that if
you use more than 2
#hashtags in a Tweet it
tails off very quickly.
Remember Twitter is for
creating short content.
