A Semester in 10 Tweets

Posted on by Jeffrey Goldberg

It’s hard to sum up 15 weeks in only ten tweets, but after scrolling through my feed some trends became pretty clear to me. Clearly as time went on through the semester my engagement went way up. I was going from around 10-15 engagements at the beginning at the semester, to well over 50 per post. I believe this is due to two factors; an increase in followers, and a better understanding of hashtags. As I went from 6 followers to over 60 it is clear that I would get more engagement, as there would be more eyeballs on my tweets, increasing the chance that someone clicks on the tweet. As well my better understanding of hashtags led people looking at trending topics to see my topical tweets.

Another trend I noticed is that many of my best tweets have rich media attached to them. This makes sense as people are more likely to click and open a picture or video.
