Keep it concise Twitter favors short, punchy tweets. Aim for 100-150 characters for best engagement.

Use 1-2 hashtags More than 2 hashtags looks spammy. Choose relevant, popular tags.

Include a CTA “Reply with your thoughts,” “Retweet if you agree,” “Click here to learn more.”

Post at peak times Schedule when your audience is most active.

Engage quickly Respond to replies within the first hour to boost algorithmic reach.
