🔧 How to Use the Data to Your Advantage

Identify tweets with the highest engagement or link clicks

Note format (text, image, video), tone, and timing

👉 Repurpose or repost top tweets in new formats

2. Track Optimal Posting Times
See what times/days generate the best engagement

Use tools like Buffer, Hootsuite, or TweetDeck to schedule posts at those peak hours

3. Understand Audience Preferences
