So you’ve decided to start tweeting thought-provoking quotes from your Twitter account.  Great decision. But how do you get your followers to stop and really think about the quotes you’ve tweeted? How do you start conversations on Twitter?  That’s where engagement hooks come in.

“Engagement Hooks” – What Are They?

At Nimble Quotes, we’ve created a little something called an “engagement hook”.  It’s a type of conversation starter for your quote – an intriguing statement or a thought-provoking question to lead into the quote.  We include these to help our users connect and get involved in the Twitter conversation.

Using Engagement Hooks to Start Conversations on Twitter

The engagement hook is a way to get people to really think about the quote that you’re tweeting.  An enthusiastic exclamation can get people excited about what the quote has to say.  It can inspire them to action. A reflective question can make them consider what meaning the quote holds for them; how they may apply this quote in their own life.  Whatever form it comes in, the engagement hook is meant to help you start conversations on Twitter.

Engagement hooks are what make our quotes different from other quotes on Twitter.  When you sign up with Nimble Quotes, you don’t just get a slew of quotable sayings – you get meaningful quotes with thoughtful, reflective engagement hooks attached to them.

Where Do We Get Engagement Hooks?

Our writers and editors think about how each individual quote can be used to spark a conversation with your Twitter followers, interpreting what that quote means. They then write a meaningful engagement hook, getting right to the heart of the quote.

We put all of this thought into the engagement hooks because we want to help our users participate in the conversation, break the ice with their followers. The curated, high-quality quotes are already a helpful addition to your Twitter account; the engagement hook gives each quote a boost to start an interaction.
