Link : 98% include links to more comprehensive content (remember: on Twitter, the size of a message is limited to 140 characters => Twitter is useful for promoting more comprehensive content, you have such detailed in an article Your blog or your website)
Hashtag : 72% use hashtags (accuracy for novice users: hashtags keywords are preceded by the # sign, which allow a user to return all tweets sent by other users on a particular theme, for example # Blog or # FF)
Real-time : 70% are related to recent information (on Twitter, the information expires quickly users are often in a compportement immediacy that makes them look davanateg to novelty)
Call to Action : 40% incentive to take action (eg "click" or "Please RT)
Exclamation : 40% use the exclamatory mode (again!)
New : 38% announce the launch of a new product
Question : 24% ask a question
Fun : 22% are related to a game or contest
Accuracy: The information above has been sent to businesses that use the "Promoted tweets (tweets advertising), but in my opinion, they apply very broadly to any type of tweets.

Show who you are : in particular, know that Twitter accounts that include a photo of the author are followed more than others.
Talk about yourself infrequently : According to this study, people who self-promote continuously monitored are 2 times less than the others.
Use sparingly the "Reply" : apparently, the more you reply to other users in "reply" (=> Public chat between 2 users), the less you earn followers! A bias which may seem surprising when one knows the aversion to Twittos impersonal accounts, which give the impression of being administered by a robot! But this advice is certainly related to the fact that on Twitter, primarily looking for qualified content (see above: 98% effective tweets include a link to a content).
Define your level of authority and type of your profile / expertise : for example, indicate in the "biography" that you are an official account of a company officer, an expert ... (Obviously, your expertise, even self-proclaimed, can affect the decision to follow you!).
Do not always negative : this is apparently fleeing users ... So if you want to earn "followers", souriezzzzz! A bit like in real life.
