Creating ‘Best of 2017 Tweets’ Posts
by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig
I posted on this last year, but I thought it was worth another mention. If you’re on Twitter, it’s pretty easy to find your best-performing tweets of the year and retweet them (I like to add a hashtag like ‘TopTweets2017′).
There are a few good things about doing this. For one, you can revisit content that’s proven popular for your followers on Twitter. For another, if you share other authors’ posts, it gives you the opportunity to highlight their content again, providing networking, along with goodwill. It can also be nice to stay active on social media during the holidays without being constantly online…simply schedule your top tweets using a service like Hootsuite or Buffer.
To find which posts were most popular for 2017, left-click your profile picture. A drop-down box appears.
Click on Analytics
Click ‘View all tweet activity’ (here you can also see your top follower and other information).
Click ‘top tweets’
Click the drop-down arrow next to ‘last 28 days’ and choose your date range
The tweets will pop up
Twitter also allows you to export tweets, but I found this somewhat less useful because it downloaded all of the tweets, when I only wanted the most popular tweets.
Before sharing any links, makes sure that the links are still good. Sometimes bloggers shut down their blogs or change websites.
Do you use Twitter analytics? Are you using Twitter as part of your social media platform (lots of writers and industry folks there–not so sure about readers).
