Are Your Tweets on Twitter Being Read?
If you are like me, we've been using Twitter for a couple years.
Along with Facebook, Twitter is one of the most widely used social media outlets.
As of this writing I have over 3,000 followers.
I love Twitter for what it is, short broadcast messaging.
I tweet about breaking news, blogging, travel, and my Internet business.
I usually tweet about 4-6 posts per day.
I had to stop and think just how many people actually read my tweets.
My tweets are important to me.
I want all my followers to read them.
Unless my followers have placed me in a group, or using a third-party software group, chances are they will seldom see my tweets.
Groups allow a reader to view tweets of selected users in one handy place.
People are busy, they work, they play, they sleep.
Many people may only check Twitter once or twice a day and maybe only for a few minutes.
If they are viewing Twitter's time-line mode, hundred's if not thousands of posts scroll by within a few minutes time.
They will see my tweets only if I happen to post at the same time they are on-line.
You can see that the odds of that happening are slim.
The bottom line is that most of my tweets are probably not being read.
The question is, how do I solve this problem.
For those that do use groups, I need to make sure that I get placed in a group.
There's really only one way of insuring to be placed in one's group and that is to make every tweet count.
Every tweet needs to be so interesting that my follower wants to read more of my posts.
Making interesting tweets is for another article, but don't forget a call to action to be added to their groups.
For example, "Thanks for following me, please add me to your groups so that you can easily find me.
" The solution for followers that do not use groups leaves little choice but hit and miss.
For important tweets, post it 2-3 times a day at different time intervals (breakfast, lunch or dinner).
Anything more than 3 times a day will make a person look spammy and may end up being un-followed.
A tweet can also be re-tweeted by slightly changing the wording.
In conclusion, don't think that just because you are tweeting that your tweets are being read.
Learn to write interesting posts to keep them coming back for more.
