  • Note that Twitter reported a half a billion tweets per day in October, up from 140 million per day in early 2011. It’s also a different way to measure its data than Twitter had in earlier years, when it would often tout the number of tweets, but really mean “items,” in terms of shares and re-shares which have to be shown on other peoples’ timelines.

Just Like Facebook, Twitter's New Impression Stats Suggest Few Followers See What's Twe... - 0 views

  • Twitter shows you everything posted by those you follow: news, thoughts from friends, pictures and more. You dip in and out as you like. But similar to live TV, when you turn it off — when you’re not actively watching Twitter — then you’re missing everything. Those 10 or 100 or 1,000 accounts you follow? Even though Twitter shows you everything from them, unlike Facebook, you’ll largely miss whatever they do if you’re not watching Twitter constantly.
  • That 5% engagement rate sounds pretty good, but it’s based only on the 7,195 people who actually saw my tweet. What’s the engagement rate for my overall audience of 390,000? That’s 0.1%, rounded up from 0.0923%.
  • Tweet & Tweet Again To Reach 30% Of Your Audience Twitter’s own post suggests that high visibility isn’t common. Consider this from it wrote today: We saw that brands that tweet two to three times per day can typically reach an audience size that’s equal to 30% of their follower base during a given week. This indicates that Tweet consistency is a key factor when it comes to maximizing your organic reach on Twitter.

  • When it comes to Facebook, our reach for the same period was about 900,000. So our Facebook posts were seen by about 1/5th the number of people on Twitter, which could make one assume that Twitter is the better social platform. In reality, the answer is more complicated. Like many publishers, we share far less on Facebook than on Twitter. Increasing our share rate might increase our overall reach. More important, however, is that one of our key hopes with social sharing is to drive traffic back to our site. According to Twitter’s stats, those 4.4 million impressions generated 7,300 clicks to our content. But Facebook, with far less impressions, generated 10 times that number of clicks to our content, about 70,000 over the past month.

The Ideal Social Media Post Length: A Guide for Every Platform - 0 views

  • In 2016, BuzzSumo analyzed more than 800 million Facebook posts. Based on their findings, posts with less than 50 characters “were more engaging than long posts.” According to another, more precise study by Jeff Bullas, posts with 80 characters or less receive 66 percent higher engagement:
  • Paid posts: 5 to 18 words Every Facebook ad needs three types of content: a Headline, Main Text, and a Description. After analyzing 37,259 Facebook ads, AdEspresso found that ads did best when the copy in each element was clear and concise. According to the data, the ideal length for a: Headline, the first text people read, is 5 words. Main Text, the snippet above your image or video, is 14 words. Description, the text that lives directly below your headline, is 18 words.
  • Videos: 30 to 60 seconds With video, one of the primary measures of success is how long people watch, also known as your video retention rate. In 2016, Kinetic Social tracked 2 billion social ad impressions and found that 44 percent of 30- to 60-second videos on Facebook were viewed to completion. Meanwhile, videos that ran under 30 seconds or over two minutes saw completion rates of 26 and 31 percent, respectively. A more recent poll, from 2018, showed that 33 percent of Facebook users preferred to watch shorter videos, from 30 to 50 seconds long.

  • Organic and promoted tweets: 71 – 100 characters Whether you’re running an ad or not, data from Buddy Media shows that tweets containing less than 100 characters receive, on average, 17 percent higher engagement than longer tweets. This is, in part, because shorter tweets are easier to read and comprehend. Short tweets also give retweeters enough room to add their own message.
  • Organic Instagram posts: 138 to 150 characters
  • Sponsored Instagram posts: 125 characters or less
  • Instagram hashtags: 5 to 9 per post at less than 24 characters each
  • According to research by TrackMaven, posts with nine hashtags receive the most engagement:
  • YouTube videos: 3 minutes
  • YouTube titles: 70 characters

  • This is related to Twitter’s larger aim to better organize its content—to separate the interesting and timely tweets from the noise.

How Twitter Users Compare to the General Public | Pew Research Center - 0 views

  • Twitter users are younger, more likely to identify as Democrats, more highly educated and have higher incomes than U.S. adults overall. Twitter users also differ from the broader population on some key social issues. For instance, Twitter users are somewhat more likely to say that immigrants strengthen rather than weaken the country and to see evidence of racial and gender-based inequalities in society. But on other subjects, the views of Twitter users are not dramatically different from those expressed by all U.S. adults.
  • The 10% of users who are most active in terms of tweeting are responsible for 80% of all tweets created by U.S. users.
  • Compared with other U.S. adults on Twitter, they are much more likely to be women and more likely to say they regularly tweet about politics.

Some 42% of adult Twitter users have at least a bachelor’s degree – 11 percentage points higher than the overall share of the public with this level of education (31%). Similarly, the number of adult Twitter users reporting a household income above $75,000 is 9 points greater than the same figure in the general population: 41% vs. 32%. But the gender and racial or ethnic makeup of Twitter users is largely similar to the adult population as a whole.
