What makes a good Tweet? Here are several factors that I've found from across the web that can influence engagement and increase your followers.
1 - Hashtags
1-2 hashtags at the end of a tweet gain more engagement than when mixed in with a tweet
But using hashtags mid-sentence? That’s primarily a historical artifact of how hashtags were once used - Christopher Mims
2 - Images
Tweets with photo's lead to an average of 35% more engagement
Photos average a 35% boost in Retweets - Twitter Blog
3 - Length
The optimal length for a tweet is 70-100 characters
Tweets with more than 100 characters receive 17% less engagement than tweets with between 70 and 100 characters - Buddy Media
4 - @
Starting with an '@' is semi-private when you want to be seen, begin with anything but @
When you start your message with @someone, the message will only be sent to @someone and the people that follow both you and @someone. - Dave Larson/TweetSmarter
5 - Emoji's
They are a necessary part of digital communication. Use sparingly and in context. They can be misinterpreted so be careful when using Emojis.
