Yes..

I feel your pain https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">

* You& #39;re used to putting out a tweet and within a few minutes, your followers actually SEE that tweet..

But recently..

Something weeeeeeird has been going on https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

2.

Those same tweets you used to put out weeks ago..

.. are now taking HOURS to reach your followers (if at all)..

But no need to worry..

I& #39;ve got your back..

3.

Now I haven& #39;t & #39;completely& #39; figured this out..

But I have an interesting observation that you& #39;re going to enjoy https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">..

Yes..

Twitter has made a change to their algorithm..

.. But what changes did they make?

(cont..)
4.

First..

~ Let me describe what I& #39;ve been experiencing:

a.) I put out a tweet
b.) 30 minutes pass
c.) Only 100-200 impressions

(Keep in mind.. I have 3350 followers)

After this..

1 of 2 things happen..

(cont..) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
5.

Situation 1: The tweet& #39;s engagement % is high https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

Situation 2: The tweet& #39;s engagement % is low.. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎" title="Thumbs down" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down">

** Let& #39;s talk about Situation 1 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬇️" title="Pfeil nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach unten">
6.

A tweet of mine from yesterday..

Had:

- 50 Impressions
- 24 Engagements

(48% rate)

After 30-40 minutes..

* That& #39;s a fantastic rate..
** But Twitter said F*CK my tweet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😅" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit offenem Mund und Angstschweiß">

(or did they?)..
7.

Let& #39;s just say..

The tweet ended up doing pretty well:

+ But why did it receive such terrible reach at the beginning?

(Here& #39;s my interpretation) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
8.

When you initially put out a tweet..

* Who does Twitter show your tweet to?

- Your most loyal & engaging followers! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💎" title="Edelstein" aria-label="Emoji: Edelstein">

* Why does this matter?

- Because if even your TOP followers choose NOT to engage with your tweet..

Your tweet probably won& #39;t perform well at all.

9.

If you run into something like:

* 50 Impressions
* 2 Engagements
(4% rate)

That means even your most ACTIVE followers gave your tweet a big fat "https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Kreuzzeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Kreuzzeichen">"..

- And when this happens..

Expect the tweet to continue receiving poor reach throughout the day.
10.

That being said:

If your tweet has GREAT engagement right off the bat..

you may still experience slow reach, but it will gradually increase throughout 24hrs and it should:

1.) Reach MORE people than average

OR

2.) Similar to what you are used to..

Now why is this?https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
11.

Personally...

I think Twitter is choosing to show your tweet to your followers at various times of the day

.. rather than showing it to ALL of them at once..

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts"> This rewards QUALITY tweets by putting them out all-day long https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📈" title="Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Aufwärtstrend">

and punishes the tweets that perform poorly https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📉" title="Tabelle mit Abwärtstrend" aria-label="Emoji: Tabelle mit Abwärtstrend">
12.

This ALSO makes sense because:

- Twitter wants their users to have the best experience possible

(meaning they want to show people the "best tweets") https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

cont.. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
13.

Of course..

This IS all speculation..

.. But I& #39;ve been experimenting with a few things

and almost ALL of my tweets have received above-average engagement..

> This is simply MY breakdown of everything..

.. but it seems to make a ton of sense https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧠" title="Gehirn" aria-label="Emoji: Gehirn">

What does this mean for Tweeters https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❓" title="Rotes Fragezeichen-Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Fragezeichen-Symbol">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❔" title="Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Weißes Fragezeichen Symbol">

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔑" title="Schlüssel" aria-label="Emoji: Schlüssel"> QUALITY > QUANTITY

* I& #39;ve never been a fan of tweeting 8-12 times per day..

** 3-4 seems to be the sweet spot for me & even @DivCultivator has gained 2500 followers THIS month from 1-3 tweets/day https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Feuer" aria-label="Emoji: Feuer">

Look: https://twitter.com/DivCultivator/status/1266835329727770631?s=20">https://twitter.com/DivCultiv...
15.

I must add:

Putting out a ton of tweets is only beneficial if you want to increase the odds of something "catching" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎣" title="Angelrute und Fisch" aria-label="Emoji: Angelrute und Fisch">

* However!

If you "know how the game works"..

.. and are capable of getting 10-20% engagement on all your tweets

** Stick to 2-4/day https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">
16.

All I& #39;ve got left to say is:

+ Understand how to adapt
+ Focus on Quality > Quantity
+ Learn what makes people engage with tweets

and good luck out there! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍀" title="Vierblättriges Kleeblatt" aria-label="Emoji: Vierblättriges Kleeblatt">

Oh..

And if you don& #39;t know what makes a tweet "pop off" https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💥" title="Symbol für eine Kollision" aria-label="Emoji: Symbol für eine Kollision">

.. Then you need this: http://gum.co/GaqNP
