How to Schedule X/Twitter Posts

What Are X Analytics?

X analytics refer to the data and insights provided by the X platform to help users track how their content performs and how their audience interacts with it. These analytics are crucial for anyone looking to grow a presence on the platform—whether you're a solo creator, a brand, or part of a marketing team.

At their core, X analytics give you a snapshot of how people engage with your posts and profile. You’ll typically find metrics like:

• Impressions – How many times your tweets were seen
• Reach – The number of unique users who saw your content
• Engagements – Total actions taken (likes, replies, retweets, etc.)
• Engagement rate – A percentage showing how engaging your content is
• Profile views – How many users visited your profile after seeing a post
• Follower growth – How your audience size is changing over time
• Link clicks – How often people clicked on URLs you shared

These data points help answer key questions like: What kind of content performs best? When is your audience most active? Who's interacting with your posts?

Who Can Access X Analytics?

Access to analytics often depends on your account type. For many platforms, including Twitter/X (and Threads):

• Personal accounts have limited or no access to detailed analytics
• Creator and business accounts unlock full access to performance metrics and audience insights

If you’re trying to view Twitter audience insights, for example, you’ll need to switch to a premium paid account. Even in a basic paid X account, you won’t have access to analytics. Currently, it costs $12 to pay for the X Premium to have access to X/Twitter Analytics.

Why You Should Track Your X Analytics

Tracking your X analytics isn’t just about watching numbers go up—it’s about making informed decisions that drive real results. Whether you’re a solo content creator, a digital marketer, or a brand, consistently reviewing your analytics can help you create smarter content and grow faster.

Here are a few key benefits of monitoring your analytics:

📈 Improve Your Content Strategy

Analytics reveal what works and what doesn’t. You’ll see which tweets perform best, which formats get the most engagement (usually visual), and what topics your audience cares about the most. This lets you double down on what’s effective and stop wasting time on low-performing content.

👥 Understand Audience Behavior

By studying metrics like profile views, engagement rate, and impressions, you can get a clear picture of how users interact with your content. Want to know when your followers are most active or which types of content they engage with most? Your analytics will tell you.

🚀 Boost Engagement

Once you identify high-performing content through analytics, you can replicate and refine your approach. This leads to more likes, replies, shares, and profile visits—all of which contribute to increased visibility and engagement on the platform.

📊 Track Growth Over Time

Monitoring trends over weeks or months helps you understand long-term progress. Are your followers growing steadily? Is your engagement rate improving? Keeping an eye on analytics makes it easy to track success and adjust when necessary.

Using Twitter Audience Insights

Let’s say you're using Twitter audience insights to grow a niche tech account. After a month of analyzing your top-performing tweets, you notice posts with quick polls and insider facts get 3x the engagement compared to regular tweets. You shift your content strategy accordingly—and within weeks, your follower count and profile views begin to rise steadily.

How to Access X Analytics

Before diving into your X analytics, make sure you have the right account type. Most platforms require you to have a business or creator account to unlock access to detailed insights. For X, however, you must have a paid version. And not the basic paid, premium paid.

• Login to your X account in your mobile phone
• Or access your account in the desktop version (better experience)
• Click on the Premium Section on the right.
• Choose Premium Plan
• Be actively posting or have some engagement for analytics to populate

Pro Tips for Maximizing Your Performance Using Analytics

Getting access to your X analytics is just the start—what really matters is how you use them. Here are some expert strategies to turn data into growth:

1. Set Clear, Measurable Goals

Without goals, analytics are just numbers. Define what success looks like for you:

• "Increase engagement rate by 20% in 30 days"
• "Grow profile views by 1,000 this month"
• "Get 100 clicks on a product link this week"

Once you set goals, use analytics to track your progress and adjust your content accordingly.

2. Focus on What Works

Study your top-performing posts. What do they have in common?

• Was it the tone, topic, or time of posting?
• Did they include media (images, videos, GIFs)?
• Were they posted during peak audience hours?

Double down on the strategies that consistently perform well.

3. Repurpose High-Performing Content

Don’t let good content go to waste. Turn a successful post into:

• A thread or carousel
• A short-form video or reel
• A quote graphic or blog intro

Analytics tell you what resonates—repurposing gives it new life across formats and platforms.
