Twitter: How to boost a post

Twitter allows you to connect and engage directly with potential consumers and clients with ease, but with 500 million tweets being sent out per day, consider a paid campaign to boost your posts to ensure they are received by your target audience.

Here is a Twitter trick on how to boost your content:

  • Pick the Tweet you want to boost and click on the activity icon, this can be done from either your timeline or on your Tweet activity dashboard
  • From there click on ‘Promote this Tweet’
  • Select your target location; this can range from the local community to nationwide.
  • Finally select your budget, this is the amount of money you are willing to spend on boosting your post, Twitter will give you an idea of the results you will likely see based on your budget.

And there you have it; it is incredibly easy to promote any Tweet which you feel deserves a tad more attention. However, if you want to take your digital marketing strategy to the next level research into when the best times are to post on Twitter to reach your target audience. Generally, the best time to post is at 9am on a Wednesday and Friday. Although times can vary depending on what you are looking to advertise; tech companies would find it best to post at 9am on Tuesdays, whereas if you are promoting a healthcare business Wednesdays at 9am and 11am are better.
