With all-time and vibes you’ve put into drafting Twitter tweets, you find it difficult creating engaging tweets, getting people to retweet, and so on.

Mere looking at your headline, it is boring, stinky, your tweets are nothing near what Twitter users want, and you have a boring intro.

So, the pressure to be consistent with tweets made you end up churning out social media content that lacks elements. You are not to be blamed; at least, that is what you read from the e-books you’ve bought. Sure!

Why You Should Keep Your Twitter Followers Engaged

Some people say your twitter followers need to be engaged to get retweets. Others say it is required to gain more reach and impression.

Twitters have become so advanced. Its methods of making tweets visible to followers have changed, likewise they are the twitter audience. The majority of its users are not looking for another thesis.

Does My Twitter follower’s engagement matter?

Yes, it does. All the favoriting, retweets, mentioning, responding, and click of links matters; they are the ones to determine what your followers think of your content.

Your engagement rate (mentioning, retweets, favoriting, click on links, and responding) tells how relevant your tweets (memes, text, videos, and images) are relevant to your followers.

Let’s take, for example, you’ve 200 followers, and 50 engage with the tweet either by mentioning, clicking links, that’s fair enough. If you have 20,000 followers and only 50 were involved, that’s far from being impressive, and that is an indication that your tweets (content) is not striking some cord or you’re doing something wrong.

Also, know that keeping your twitter followers engaged can serve as social proof. Many people quickly notice twitter accounts or tweets with a perfect engagement rate.
