How to Write Engaging Tweets in 280 Characters or Less\u2026<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s been awhile since Twitter officially announced its 280-character limit<\/a> update. It was certainly a great relief to almost all the social media marketers out there. Just like you, I used to find it hard at times to cover my thoughts within the 140-character limit of Twitter. Now however, after the update, one can easily post longer and more comprehensive tweets.<\/p>\n

While the attached images, GIFs, or polls won\u2019t add any extra characters, the URLs will still be counted. Thankfully, Twitter has a native URL shortening feature that you can use to make your tweets more crisp and effective. Since the problem was never there in languages like Japanese, Korean, or Chinese, they are exempt from the update.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, just because Twitter has extended its limit to 280 characters, it doesn\u2019t mean that you have to exhaust it every time. You can still write short and precise content on Twitter. If needed, you can now write a more detailed tweet.<\/p>\n

From answering the queries of your customers to creating visually appealing content, the updated character limit can help you in numerous ways. Here are some expert suggestions that can help you redefine your content strategy on Twitter.<\/p>\n

1. Use Emojis Creatively<\/span><\/p>\n

We all know that use of emojis is the new global language. After all, most of us get assistance from emojis while chatting with our friends. So why not include them in tweets as well? Since Twitter supports all kinds of major emojis, you can simply include them in your content. In this way, you can make your tweets more visually appealing and interesting. Also, more people are likely to retweet your content if it is unique and relevant.<\/p>\n

3. Update Your Stories in a Single Tweet<\/span><\/p>\n

This one is for all the journalists and media platforms out there. Earlier, we used to create a thread of tweets while posting information about a topic. While you can still do the same, there\u2019s a better way to keep your audience updated. With the new character limit on Twitter, you post breaking news and updates about it in the same tweet.<\/p>\n
