Are you using Twitter to get more leads and clients? If so, this may interest you in.
As you know, social media networks are constantly competing with each other for attention. They research new features and tools to launch in order to get more businesses in the door. Twitter is no different!
Twitter has followed suit with Instagram and Facebook marketing strategies. It has launched a tagging feature allowing you to mention some Twitter accounts to get their attention to your post.
But it’s not always showing up when you are creating a post! There is a trick for that! To trigger that option, you need to add one or several video(s) or picture(s) from your desktop or mobile phone. I will show you how to do this later on. Although adding a photo or video isn’t quite a new feature, the power of visuals must never be underestimated!
Here is why:
They have also added the description or caption you can write under your uploaded image or video. You can use this feature to explain what your post is about for the visually impaired followers.
Now let me show you in practice how it works.
First, you type in the empty field:
- your title
- your blog post or website link
- 2 most relevant hashtags for your topic.
Doing this will help you get your audience interested in reading your article.
Once you’ve done that, click on the following symbol under your text to upload photo(s) or video(s): 
The following sentence will appear below your picture: ‘Who’s in this photo?‘.
See below screenshot as an example:
Then, you will need to click on this symbol to tag a Twitter user in your blog post: 
To tag someone, all you need to do is to click on the ‘Who’s in this photo’ sentence and type the name of the person you want to be tagged in your post.
Obviously, it may be helpful to know their twitter handle but you may find it by searching their name as well. You can tag several Twitter handles if the post targets different users.
See below example:
Before you click on 
, you may think about adding a description to your photo(s) or video(s), so that the visually impaired people know what your picture or post is about.
As the example below shows, you have the following white text displayed just below your image: ‘Add description‘. Click on it to add a caption to your photo.
Once you click on this sentence/field, your post will pop like this:
Once you have added your description or caption, click on: 
to apply the changes to your picture.
When finished, you can tweet your post. The added caption/description will not be visible to you but will be viewable to visually impaired users.
