Understanding Twitter's Algorithm in 2024
The Twitter algorithm has evolved to prioritize engagement, relevance, and consistency. Here are key takeaways about how the algorithm works:
1. Engagement Is King
- Tweets with more likes, comments, and retweets get pushed to more people.
- Replies matter more than likes—Twitter rewards conversations.
- Tweets that receive engagement within the first 30 minutes perform better.
2. Consistency Wins
- Posting 3-5 times a day increases visibility.
- Engaging with others' tweets keeps your profile active.
- Regular posting signals to Twitter that you're an active contributor.
3. Relevance Matters
- Twitter prioritizes content that aligns with your niche.
- Use Solana/Web3-related hashtags to boost reach.
- The more people interact with your tweets, the more Twitter shows your content.
4. Formatting Tricks for Better Engagement
- Thread-style tweets perform better than single tweets.
- Tweets with images and GIFs get more engagement.
- Short, punchy tweets (under 240 characters) perform better than long tweets.
Growing Your Audience
1. Optimize Your Profile
Your Twitter bio and profile should instantly show who you are and what you do. Here's how to optimize it:
- Use a professional or creative profile picture
- Write a clear, Web3-focused bio (e.g., "Building on Solana | Smart Contract Dev | Open to work")
- Add relevant links (your GitHub, portfolio, Superteam Earn profile, etc.)
- Use a Twitter banner that aligns with your niche and audience
2. Content Strategy: What to Tweet About
If you want to grow an audience, your tweets need to provide value. Here are proven content types that work well in Web3:
- Educational threads
- Project breakdowns
- Personal experiences
- Hot takes and opinions
- Engaging polls
3. Mastering Twitter Threads
Threads are one of the most powerful ways to grow your audience. They keep users engaged, increasing the chances of likes, comments, and shares. Here's how to create a high-performing thread:
- Hook tweet: Start with an eye-catching tweet that makes people want to read more.
- Breakdown: Deliver valuable insights in short, digestible points.
- Call to Action (CTA): End with a question or invite people to follow you.
Growing Engagement: What to Do Daily
1. Engage with Web3/Solana Thought Leaders
To gain visibility, you need to reply, quote tweet, and interact with top accounts in Solana. Here's how:
- Comment insightful takes on tweets from influencers like Solana founders, Superteam members, and developers.
- Quote retweet with added value (e.g., expanding on a point or sharing a relevant resource).
- DM people you admire after meaningful interactions to build relationships.
2. Post Daily (And Repurpose Content)
If you struggle with daily tweets, repurpose content:
- Take a blog post you wrote and break it into a thread.
- Turn a Twitter thread into a LinkedIn post.
- Summarize insights from a Web3 podcast in a tweet.
- Share past successes and failures in Web3.
The key is consistency. Even if you only post once a day, stay active.
