How to Craft a Text Click-to-Tweet CTA
Many people might find your content interesting and are willing to share it. Sharing something on Twitter requires a few steps, in that case, Click to Tweet eliminates these procedures and makes it simple for users to share information; here’s how you can do it:

2) Craft Tweet
Then, type your tweet with all the necessary information you want your readers to know.
(Remember: When a link is pasted into a tweet on Twitter, it shortens the link to 23 characters.
Click to Tweet lacks this feature; therefore, before pasting your URL into the Click to Tweet share box, you’ll need to shorten it using bitly or some other tool.)
