There is nothing better than a 3-ingredient recipe, especially with it’s a recipe to make your tweets last longer. My great-grandmother Antoinette used to make this awesome 3-ingredient cake that would be gone in minutes after it was served. Contrary to her delicious recipe, I want to give you a 3-ingredient recipe to make your tweets last longer than her cake did!
There is no ‘Twitter Timer” to let you know the beginning and end of your tweet. Yes, you know when you send it; however, you can’t really know when it expires. There isn’t even a grand gatekeeper at Twitter that can tell us. Various research sources help us to get a better handle on the life of a tweet by observing retweets and clicks. So, retweets and clicks are our indicators, or ingredients, to help us extend the life of a tweet.
We do know that he mean life of a tweet is about 18 minutes. The Moz.com blog reports that an average tweet takes 18 minutes for a retweet to occur. GaggleAmp also reports:
- 73.8% of the clicks occurred in the first hour
- 85.0% of the clicks occurred in the first 12 hours
- 92.5% of the clicks occurred in the first 48 hours
Why is it important for you to make your tweets last as long as possible? So you can deliver your message to more people over a longer stretch of time.
The 3 Key Ingredients To Extend The Life Of A Tweet
- Use 1 -2 Hashtags In Each Of Your Tweets. Buffer reports that tweets with 1 or 2 hashtags get 21% more engagement, which means it will get retweeted and last longer.
- Include A Link In Your Tweets. Dan Zarrella’s research indicates that tweets with links are 86% more likely to be retweeted.
- Get More Twitter Followers. Tweets from accounts with more followers get retweeted more than those accounts with fewer followers reports research from Moz.com
