How to make a perfect tweet
The objective of any tweet is to be perceived and shared by the audience , but considering that the life cycle of a tweet is very short, we must learn to make a perfect tweet :
- Less than 100 characters : Leave space for comments.
- Use related hashtags : Although we should not abuse them. The ideal is one or two.
- Use URL shorteners : This way you will gain space and the tweet will be more pleasing to the eye. Some like Bitly will also allow you to click.
- Take care of the spelling : Do not make mistakes in your tweets but you want to draw the user's attention for things that do not interest you.
- Cite the source : Do not endorse any comments or information. For example, via @socialmood
- Include an image : Image tweets work much better on Twitter.
- Do not abuse mentions to other users.
- Include a link : So the tweet will have 3 times more chances of being retweeted.
- Use "you" (or third person) instead of "I" or first person
