What Is a Viral Tweet?<\/h2>\nA viral tweet is a post shared by a large number of people quickly<\/strong>. While there are no hard rules defining a viral tweet, it\u2019s considered viral if it has hundreds of thousands of retweets, Twitter likes<\/a>, and replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTweets can go viral for many reasons. They could raise awareness of an issue, spark debates, or even be super-funny. The common theme among all of them, however, is that they prompt Twitter users to react in a way that spreads the word.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
How to Go Viral on Twitter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n1. Run a Viral Twitter Giveaway<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
One of the best ways to make your tweets go viral is to run a Twitter giveaway. Not only do people go wild for freebies, but contests can also boost your reach to thousands of Twitter users in a short space of time too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To run a giveaway on Twitter, give RafflePress<\/a> a try. It\u2019s a powerful WordPress plugin<\/a> with all the tools you need to make viral Twitter contests<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Twitter](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/landing-page-for-a-twitter-contest.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd if you combine the built-in social media giveaway<\/a> templates with powerful refer-a-friend<\/a> actions, you stand a real chance of reaching that all-important viral status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"viral](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/viral-refer-friend.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Ask Directly for Retweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re new to Twitter, the best way to get noticed is to ask for engagement. There\u2019s no need to be shy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Asking for retweets tells your followers what you need from them, which makes it more likely they\u2019ll follow through with the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Ask](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ask-for-retweets-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn fact, tweets that include the following words tend to be retweeted more than others:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Please<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Retweet<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Help<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- How to<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Check out<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Please retweet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
So including them in your updates can boost their reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there\u2019s also another reason why asking people to retweet can work so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s say your message looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere\u2019s the complete beginner\u2019s guide to going viral on Twitter. Please retweet!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nEvery person sharing your tweet will be asking their followers to retweet, too, since it\u2019s in the original tweet. So each retweet asks for another retweet, and before you know it, your update is being shared with thousands of Twitter users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Retweet](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/retweet-please-tweet.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n3. Post at the Best Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The time of your Twitter updates plays a big part in their success too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine this: you\u2019ve written a killer piece of content and sent out a tweet linking to it. But nothing happens. Not a single like or share<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat went wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn\u2019t because your content wasn\u2019t great or because you didn\u2019t ask nicely for a retweet. It\u2019s down to no one being around<\/strong> and your message getting buried<\/strong> in the feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe most active Twitter accounts follow thousands of people, so you need to find a way to get their attention when it matters. And the best way to do this is to tweet at the times they\u2019re active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can master your timing by looking at your Twitter Analytics to see when your followers are around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go to Twitter Analytics \u00bb Tweets<\/strong> and hover over the columns on the graph to find the days when your tweets get the most impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Twitter](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/twitter-analytics-activity.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBut if you\u2019d like a more detailed breakdown, OptinMonster researched the best times to post on Twitter<\/a> and came up with the following results: <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Best](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/best-tweet-times.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n- 11 am to 1 pm EST on Monday or Thursday for B2B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 12 pm or 1 pm Monday to Wednesday for B2C.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
But none of that is helpful if you don\u2019t give people a reason to engage, which we\u2019ll tackle next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Write Headlines That Stop Scrolling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No-ones going to read your Tweet if you can\u2019t grab their attention and stop them from scrolling past. This means they definitely won\u2019t click through or share it either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a look at the following tweet headlines and think about which one you\u2019d rather click:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- How to get more Twitter shares<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- How to Go Viral on Twitter Using 10 Easy Strategies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Example 1 tells you how to get more shares, while example 2 will show you exactly how to go viral with 10 tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see, the more compelling you make the body of your tweets, the more chance you have of getting users to engage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"compelling](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tweet-headline.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA good rule of thumb is to use your article title as your tweet headline. This is because you\u2019ve already spent time writing an enticing headline for your post. So a few tweaks can make it ready to use on Twitter too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Include Links in Your Tweets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another way to improve your chances of going viral on Twitter is to include more links in your updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many studies have shown that news articles and instructional updates are the types of content people retweet the most. Therefore this means tweets linking to an online resource or news have a higher chance of being retweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it\u2019s no surprise that research by Microsoft<\/a> on the Conversational Aspects of Retweeting showed that 52% of samples included a URL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"include](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/include-links-in-tweets.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs a result, if you want a greater chance of going viral, include a link in your tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Use Viral Hashtags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Hashtags are also pretty effective at improving the reach (and viral power) of your tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The idea behind hashtags<\/a> is that they group tweets together around a certain topic to make them easier to find. Then you can add them to your updates to get more people looking at and engaging with your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can find trending hashtags on Twitter by taking a look at the trending section. And you can customize the view by location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"trending](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/trending-hashtags-twitter.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlternatively, you can choose a topic that makes sense to add to your updates. For example, if we\u2019re tweeting about content marketing<\/a>, we might include the hashtag #contentmarketing or #marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut don\u2019t make the mistake of including too many hashtags in your tweets. This can confuse users and put them off. 1-2 hashtags per tweet<\/strong> are the most you should use on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Using](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/using-twitter-hashtags.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n7. Tweet About Newsworthy Topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As we mentioned earlier, some of the most popular tweets that tend to go viral are newsworthy topics. News and current affairs are at the top of people\u2019s minds, so they are more likely to generate interest because of their timely nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a look at the current news and see if you can use it in your own updates, especially if it\u2019s relevant to your field of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"how](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/newsworthy-tweets.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor example, fintech businesses can share news about cryptocurrencies and finance that their followers would find interesting or helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Add Humor to Spark Shares<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Using humor in your tweets can also be a great way to start a viral Twitter thread. In fact, some of the most viral tweets include an element of humor, and they don\u2019t have to be super complex either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Funny](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/funny-viral-tweet.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn this example, the account is run by a coder who knows the pain of appearing on page 2 of Google search results, something many like-minded people can relate to and see the funny side of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Funny](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/funny-viral-video.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhile this one uses a video to illustrate their point, resulting in a tweet with thousands of shares and hundreds of thousands of likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Tell a Personal Story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you really want to write a viral tweet, you can\u2019t go wrong by telling a personal story. Making your tweets more personal rather than entirely informational can produce better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few ways you can write personal stories to link to your own content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- A few years ago, I couldn\u2019t find the right way to get in front of a new audience. So I created a way: [link]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I always struggled with writing the perfect tweet. Until I found discovered this hack: [link]<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- We found running giveaways on WordPress super hard. So we make this tool: [link]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When marketing coach Steve Slaunwhite used this approach, he found he got more than 2 and a half times<\/strong> as many clicks as other methods. He also got more likes and retweets too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n10. Leave Room for Replies and Mentions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Even though the maximum character limit for Twitter has increased to 280, it\u2019s still challenging to keep your tweets short. How else will you include everything you need to say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the truth is, the shorter your tweets are, the better. The best tweets are around 110 characters or less<\/strong>. This is because they leave room to include mentions, hashtags, and links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Leave](\"https:\/\/rafflepress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/leave-space-for-mentions.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd as we\u2019ve discovered in this article, including those elements can boost engagement, increase your reach and help your tweets go viral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
