- Engage with questions: Sprinkle questions throughout your thread to encourage replies and discussion. This boosts interaction and makes your content more dynamic.
- Use relevant hashtags: Add 1-2 popular and relevant hashtags in your first tweet to increase visibility. Don't overdo it in every tweet, though; it can look spammy.
