How can you increase Twitter reach and engagement? That’s something that many marketers are thinking about, including Rand Fishkin, the founder of SparkToro, who has been wondering if Twitter gives tweets with a link less visibility than tweets without a link. And recently I’d been wondering the same. Then I heard about Aytekin Tank’s 17-million-impression tweet. Just a few months ago, Aytekin, the founder of Jotform, repurposed one of his popular Medium posts into a Twitter thread. He also p
As the New Year approaches, many of us find ourselves in a reflective mood. And that’s exactly how JotForm founder, Aytekin Tank, felt as 2017 was drawing to a close. As he walked along the Embarcadero, one of the liveliest and most scenic areas in San Francisco, looking back on the year, he was a little zoned out to everything happening around him. Meditative.

In our State of Social Media report, eighty-three percent of marketers said they’d like to create more video content in 2017. And we can certainly see why marketers are so hot on social video.

And that’s why I wanted to talk about Twitter video, which is something not a lot of marketers have embraced yet! Let’
For gaining more engagement, clicks, retweets, and replies, Twitter images work. Our own research has helped us see the value of Twitter images as being eminently click-worthy and shareworthy. There are a whole host of different ways to add these engaging images to your tweets. I’d love to round up a list of 10 favorite ways that we’ve tried with Twitter visuals (plus hear any ideas you’ve got as well!)

The retweet function has been a favorite way of ours to give appreciation and acknowledgment to the tweets we love. And we’ve often wondered: What happens when we love a lot of tweets? Or when we find an awesome tweet at an odd hour? Being able to schedule your retweets gives you an awesome opportunity to show your support and engagement for other people’s tweets—
Twitter is the most awesome place to be, I’ve found. But looking back to when I started out, there were lots of things I didn’t quite understand. Recently a few people approached me and asked a few questions that for most of us are so normal that we wouldn’t even think about them. Yet, it made me realize that many things on Twitter aren’t quite self explanatory. So here are a few quick clarifications to make it a little easier to get started on Twitter: 1.)
