This is the best word to use on Twitter.

Literally.

‘This’ is the best word to use on Twitter. This.

It’s not a gimmick, it’s not a hashtag or a new-age term about a digital revolution or product.  By simply saying ‘this’ it will get people clicking.

‘This’ is better than ‘How-To’ or ‘The Top’ or ‘The Best’.  It’s short, which makes it a great addition to any post, and it leaves the reader wanting more.  It’s what they can’t see, it’s hiding behind the tweet.  It’s what makes them click.

Behold some examples:

Ahh! It’s like nails on chalkboard if I don’t click!  I just have to see what ‘this’ is.

So next time you want someone to look at something, show them this and get them salivating.
