How to Do Paid Promotion on Twitter?

Twitter started as a social media network, but with its 255 million active users and more than 500 million tweets per day, it has become a channel for paid promotion. Twitter’s promotional tools let you promote your brand and help you build a niche audience and generate leads.

Though you need to keep in mind that just promoting your content is not enough to get leads, your content should have that spark that can make it viral.

Twitter has various options to promote your brand. Here are the ways using which you can draw on Twitter users in your favor:

Promoted Tweets

Tweets are the way you interact with your audience but to a limited audience. Therefore, Promoted tweets give you the ability to reach to the maximum number of people. Promoted tweets are just like normal tweets but you pay for those to reach out to the targeted audience and geographic location.

The promoted tweets remain at or near the top of the search result, feed updates.

Promoted Accounts

Just like tweets, you can also promote your account. Promoted accounts offer you the ability to increase the number of followers. The more followers you have the more popular you are. Having a huge followers list helps you maximizing the gain from your social marketing efforts.

Promoted accounts are shown on the right sidebar widget “Who to Follow”.  You can also find promoted accounts in ‘People’ search result. The promoted accounts shown to the user are the accounts that are similar to the user.

Promoted Trends

Promoted trends are a great way to show latest activity happening in your business. It helps businesses to promote their product launch or event. Promoted trends are shown in the Trend widget on the left sidebar of the user’s feed. The promoted trends are shown on the base of geographic location and user’s interest. Through promoted trends you can increase awareness about your brand.

Promoting a trend can be expensive as you need to contact twitter directly.

Promoted Videos

Promoting video ads is another way to promote the business. These videos are directly uploaded on Twitter therefore you don’t have to search for the embedded links to the external video source.

You can target different keywords, interests, audiences, devices, and demographics. Unlike YouTube, Twitter’s Promoted Videos works on Cost-per-View, therefore, you pay only for the actual views of videos.



Promoted Tweets, Promoted Accounts, Promoted Trends, and Promoted Videos are twitter’s promotional tools. These options let you target your niche audience to maximize the visibility of your brand and generate quality leads. These ads work on pay-per-click formula so you need to pay only if the ad is clicked. The promoted ads are labeled as ‘Promoted’ so user can identify the original and promoted ads.
