Twitter is now the best place to promote your blog posts. If just a few of the right people re-tweet it, you can reach tens of thousands of new readers instantly.
That means that your blog post headlines have to be Twitter-ready. A few tips:
- Tell the complete story in the headline. It has to make sense before you click, or no one will click.
- Use words like "How to" and "3 tips" so people want to read more.
- Keep it short – less than 100 characters. Remember to leave room for the link and the @name of anyone who re-tweets.
Any other advice?
