How to Use Twitter to Drive Traffic to Your Blog

If you haven’t mastered Twitter yet, odds are, that you will hesitate to plunge in the pool considering Twitter has already become a noisy place with experts from all fields already capturing the audience. The truth is, it’s never too late to plunge in, especially, if you are ready to learn some diving skills before. Twitter can become your favourite arena soon, if you know what it really takes to grab the attention of your twitter followers and drive traffic to your blog from this microblogging site. So let’s get started with some cool tips on how to use Twitter to drive traffic to your blog.


  • Be Precise

Even though Twitter has extended a hand by not counting images, links in the 140 character count for each tweet, the platform is still popular for exactitude. Be short, precise and crisp in all your posts and do not aim to use the entire word count limit. Short is cool.

  • Get Graphic


Probably many Twitter users forget Twitter isn’t just about words. While words help you in tweeting and chirping alone, images can shout out loud! Use images, graphics and GIFs and double the engagement potential of your tweet.

  • Use Teasers


Forget that old school précis writing and fill your tweet space with some teasers. Do not reveal the story with the book cover; let the audience click to read what’s actually inside your blog. Be creative with the teasers you create because this can have more misses than hits, but it’s still worth it.

  • Snoop a Bit



What are your neighboring businesses and competitors doing? There are many blogs and businesses that can complement you, your blog/website or business. You can create a group promotion if you can join hands with them. Keep a watch and change your twitter strategy accordingly, and ensure you’re the best, because you really are!

  • Follow Others



When you follow popular Twitter users and users related to your industry, you get an access to their followers and people they follow. If you tweet on their status, you get viewed. If you retweet their posts, you get viewed again. If you can engage with their followers, there’s nothing like it. More power to you! 

  • Use Twitter Ads 



Twitter has a geo-targeting feature that can ensure your ad is visible to only people you want it to. Apart from their geographical location, you can also choose their age group, gender, occupation, income bracket, behavior, language and interests. So if you don’t mind spending a few coins, go for Twitter ads.
