When you tweet with an image 2 positive things will happen. 1) Your tweet will grab more attention on the Twitter home feed because it will stand out and will get more engagement on average than tweets without images. 2) Your tweet will continue to grab attention many days later as people visit your profile.

AN IMAGE GIVES LASTING APPEAL

In the image below of the Tweet Activity Card, this tweet is more than a week old, 9 days to be exact. It has a total of 1,841 impressions and after 2 days old it only had about 530. So it gained the bulk of impressions from NOT being on the Twitter home feed but rather from people coming to my Twitter profile and being intrigued by the image I used to stop and look at it.

Another nice thing about this tweet, I had 2 Link Clicks within those first 2 days but I gained another one while it was sitting on my profile. You may not think 3 Link Clicks is a lot but 3 is better than 0 which is what many tend to get. How many do you get on average?

Excellent Robert.
You are certainly the guy whose trainings I go look for when it comes to social media. I need plenty of help in this department.
Thanks!

You are welcome Val. I guess it's because I spend almost as much time on social media than on my website, taking advantage of the free advertisement that social media really is and learning from it.

Thank you Rosie. As I said to Marty below, a couple of WA members had asked me how to increase the traffic to their websites using Twitter. Obviously like all social media you hope that your link gets reshared or in this case retweeted.

I use specific hashtags that when added to your tweets will automatically get them retweeted. And I do not see anyone from WA who I follow on Twitter using these hashtags, so I felt that people should know about them.

Wthout sounding like too much of an idiot....I had heard of such type of hashtags, but didn't know the what and how. Thank you for this; have to basically rebuld everything again from the ground up (everything was at a stanstill a little too long). This is fine, I enjoy the challenge....this will be of so much help.

What exactly do you have to rebuild? Do you mean your Twitter followers?

Thanks Marty. They do all work well together. I did this because I had a couple of members ask me how can they increase traffic to their websites using Twitter.

I use specific hashtags that can help anyone who uses them to get more exposure on Twitter, which in turn can increase the traffic to their website.
