I shared my portfolio with a social card and got 50+ likes with this tweet - pretty good engagement for a reply.

Nobody else got even close to that much engagement, most getting 1-2 likes per share.
This is no coincidence

Eddy and I posted our replies at a similar time
We have a similar number of followers
So why is the engagement so dramatically different?
The answer: Social cards

But other people have posted using social cards!
Yes, they have, but nobody else has used a call to action within their social card
Many also don't explain the page content using it
I'm using my social card to its full advantage

Images attract views, so using a social card at all is a big advantage
But even an image isn't enough on its own. The image itself needs to be engaging.
Engaging text is helpful
Supporting images are better
But that's not all I do...

As well as using images to attract views, I'm also using a call to action (button) within the image to encourage people to click it, taking them to my website
This should result in more people visiting my website

Maybe people really like my website?
Possibly...
I doubt my website is preferred over every other website posted by many talented developers
And they would have to visit my website first in order to form an opinion
Which relies on my social card being engaging
