Lots of twitter user make mistakes by using funky names, which makes you are a non serious twitter user.

9. Use Photos : Photos speak louder than written words, while tweeting you can use photos for greater effects. If you send those written monotonous tweets every time then the interest may go down. Henceforth use pictures in tweets whenever required. Article on How to post images on twitter quickly

Twitter has given me 140 characters limit - that's too short to convey my message !

The answer is No - 140 characters limit is very decent to convey your message - Have you ever seen those catchy newspaper headlines which is less then 100 characters short but convey high level message to the readers. Create your message strong & powerful, you will find 100 characters is enough to tweet.

Let's move . . .So how many characters maximum should you use while creating a tweet - Character limit of 140 looks very less which is always discussed in various forums for tweeting, and today we will discuss on how many characters ideally you should leave while tweeting and why.

After so many tweets which i tweeted personally i feel you must leave atleast 20 characters ideally while tweeting since if you cover complete 140 characters then it may not get retweets or replies which users or your followers would like to create.

Following are the areas where your 140 characters tweet affect:

@RT - at Retweet this is another method of retweeting from direct clicking on retweets if you create 140 characters tweet you are stopping your follower or user for using @RT

Check out our exclusive article on - retweets

@User - Many times followers put your name @User while using @RT so similarly the chances of self branding decrease if all characters is used.

Tip : Use shortening url's while putting links this will increase the chances of using more characters

it is not compulsory to leave 20 characters and not to use complete 140 characters in a tweet but try to create short tweets rather using shrtfrms in ur twit. oops sorry short forms in your tweets. This will increase the chances of getting more followers.

"I remember once when my colleague told me that you need to have a proper timing while communicating your messages otherwise it doesn't matter how good your message is, it may be wasted if there is no response."

 

Similarly there is a timing for tweeting and on the number of tweets you do every day to your followers which will increase the number of followers and also the retweets to your tweets.

 

So what is the best numbers of tweets you can sent every day ?

 

I think it actually depend on the way you are using your twitter account for. If you are using it for business purpose then the number of tweets will be more & more, and if you are using for self branding purpose for your self then 4 to 5 tweets with powerful content on a day is most. Otherwise hammering of tweets may affect your followings and other aspects of twitter account.

 

It doesn't mean that 5 is the maximum number as per timing or situation the numbers increase or decrease but i suggest tweet every day so that you are in connect with your followers and you don't loose them.

 

What is the best timing of tweet ?

 

This is a difficult question, but i suggest morning (Excluding monday) may be 11 : 00 am to 12 :00 pm is a good time where people look out for change and logged in to their twitter account. Apart from that 5:00 pm evening is also a responsive time where you get readers who have time to read your tweets.

 

(The timing is depend on how actually people work in your country)

 

On a higher level you can tweet anytime may be at night since we have 24 hours of timezone and there are millions of people who are online on twitter

 

If you are looking out for best timing for your tweets then you must check the audience and their countries they are residing at and plan accordingly. I understand that the timings of tweets may not be perfect for every one but you can share your experience in comment which time is suitable for tweeing ? or How many tweets you send every day.

I am against it since if you have a good messages to speak you can convey it in few words. If you are looking out for a powerful tweet with many retweets than leave some space to get retweets - here we are taking about RT @Name

The only tweets which gets retweets with link are the breaking news articles. so try to remove the link content where ever possible

Use Short urls : This give 2 advantages the first one is that you get more space for the characters and second the tweet looks neat and clean. There are many website which allows you to shorten your url one of them is bit.ly
