1. Tweets with images in them not only get 18% more clicks than tweets that don't but they also get 150% more retweets and 89% more favourites too. And since you can add an image in a tweet very easily it's well worth doing when you next tweet something.

2. It's not always easy to add a video to a tweet since you might not have one for it. But Tweets that are videos get up to 28% more retweets than those that don't!

3. Tweets that have one or more #hashtags in them are 55% more likely to get retweeted than tweets that don't have any hashtags in them at all. Now I bet you'll be using more #hashtags right?

4. Tweets that use quotation marks "like this", are 30% more likely to get retweeted than those that that don't quote something. So go ahead and "quote" more things in your tweets for more retweets.

5. Tweets that use exclamation marks in them get a lot more retweets than those that don't! There's something very powerful about the exclamation mark! Point in case! So use more of them!

6. Tweets that use numbers in them such as digits and amounts get up to 17% more retweets than tweets that just use words only. Well some people are just suckers for numbers!

7. Tweets that use words such as "Twitter", "please", "retweet" and "post" get retweeted much more than tweets that don't. So please post your Twitter tweets using these words.

8. Tweets with the words "Please RT" in them naturally get more retweets, up to 3x more in fact. And Tweets with the words "Please ReTweet" get up to 4x more retweets too.

9. Tweets length really matters on Twitter. Tweets that are around 70-100 characters long get the most amount of retweets. Anything less or longer than this don't get as many.

10. Tweets that contain Bit.ly links in them get retweeted up to around 10% more times than those that don't. It's probably because people trust Bit.ly links more than others.

11. Tweets get most of their retweets in the first half hour of being tweeted. After this they gradually slow to a roll. For that reason, schedule tweets 30 minutes apart from each other.

12. Tweets that mention other users using "Via" and "@" get more clicks on the links they contain than those that don't mention other users. So start mentioning more people to get more retweets!

13. Tweets that have links in them about a quarter of the way into the tweet get the most amount of clicks on them. So as a good practice, place your links in the first part of your tweet.

14. Tweets with links in them get more followers than tweets that don't. So share more links in your tweets if you want to get more followers for your Twitter account.

15. Tweets that are posted between 1 and 3 PM on Twitter and tweeted on Monday to Thursday are the tweets that get seen the most and subsequently get the most engagement and visits.

And if you didn't know this before, now you know!
