How Often Should I Be Posting To Twitter?

The quick answer:

As Often As You Can (Min: 4 times)

The Explanation:

Twitter is a constant flow of information. The key to getting views and engagements is to make sure that your users see what you are posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to know for sure when your users will be online to check their feed, so posting as often as you can is key. Here is a small list of some of the top users on twitter and how often they tweet.

Our Recommendations

It is a much larger problem to underpost than to overpost. The chances of you gaining a client far outweigh the downside of someone thinking you post too much. Posting quality content also allows your content to spread organically.

Guidelines

  • Be consistent and post everyday
  • Make sure you have at least 4 tweets per day.
  • Don't be afraid to repeat yourself, but try to limit the same post to no more than 3 times
  • Track your engagement and respond to mentions
