Seeing people retweet and favorite your tweets is both encouraging and gratifying. It also boosts someone’s ego to see your tweet get retweeted by so many people. However, not everyone gets as much attention from their tweets as celebrities do. So, what is the secret to getting the many free likes or retweets even when you are barely popular in your town?

Study shows that infographics is the key thing to getting high numbers of followers or favorites on twitter. In fact, up to 90% of the most retweeted messages on twitter have both a picture and a caption below it. Plain messages on the other hand only attract retweets if they are very funny or if they are very creatively crafted. So your goal as a twitter user should always be to engage infographics if you want to keep seeing people retweet and favorite your tweets. Besides infographics, tweeting at the right time can determine how much attention your tweets get and then determine how many people retweet and favorite your posts. As for tweeting at the right time, take an example of when you tweet a trendy message when there is a hash tag of the same, compare the number of retweets you get by tweeting at night maybe. And the importance of timing your tweets will come very clear.
