Twitter is the first platform currently as it represents a window that attracts the attention of users around the world, and through the data provided by Twitter and the insights we obtain through it, we can contribute to truly changing the digital world.
Moreover, Twitter became important because of the value that can be gained from tweets worthy of attention and follow-up, especially after some brands turned to this platform and offered their services and products by publishing educational and distinctive content.
Throughout the article, we will show you some basics about the best times to post a Tweet on Twitter that will improve your brand’s visibility.
The importance of posting the Tweet at the right time:
The half-life of the tweet is very short:
Unlike other social media platforms, the half-life of your content (the amount of time that passes before the content gets 50% of its total engagement) on Twitter is only 20 minutes while on other platforms it might be for hours, days, and sometimes months.
If you accidentally tweet at the wrong time, your tweet will get small or no interaction over the next 20 minutes, and this negatively affects your profile-sharing rate.
The big impact of sharing on Twitter according to its algorithm:
The Twitter algorithm works through users’ timelines and by default to show the tweets Twitter thinks they want to see, and at the top of the tweets are accounts that are interacted with frequently.
This confirms the necessity of increasing engagement on your account and your own content to increase the likelihood of you appearing on users’ timelines.
The average duration of Twitter sessions is quite small:
The average duration of a Twitter session is only about three and a half minutes or a little more, while you might log in dozens of times on a daily basis to other social media platforms and stay longer.
In order to grab your audience’s attention in such a short period, you need to rank highly in Twitter’s algorithm.
The role of timing in increasing the return on investment:
By publishing your tweet in the right time on Twitter and encourage followers to comment or perform an action, you are actually making sure that your content fulfills its function and this is what helps your brand to get better returns on investment.
