Not sure what to tweet to get your followers to engage with you? Whether you're just getting started with Twitter or you've been using it for a while, but feel like you're in a rut, it can be hard to come up with new ideas for what to publish.
Sometimes, it can help to follow some tried-and-true tropes. Here are several Twitter "formulas" you can follow. Just make the following changes to each one:
- Fill in the "blanks" where the [BRACKETS] are.
- Edit the #hashtag with the actual hashtag you'd like to use (e.g. #marketingtips).Hashtags make it easy for people to find your tweets when they're tracking that hashtag, so you can find more relevant followers.
- Replace @TwitterHandle with a person's real Twitter handle (e.g. @HubSpot).
Note: Each audience is different, so you may find that some of these formulas work better than others to grow your following.

1) The Basic Shared Content Tweet
[ARTICLE TITLE]: http://url.com #hashtag by @TwitterHandle
This go-to tweet style is the easiest to execute, but many times, people forget to include a relevant hashtag and the author's Twitter handle. The hashtag could get your tweet more exposure to people following that hashtag. And always credit your information source (the author or the site you got the post from) on social media. It'll show appreciation to the original content creator -- and they might return the favor by sharing some of your content with their followers.
