Tip #4 – Retweeting

by admin on April 12, 2009

What’s a Retweet? Well if you like someone elses Tweet and you would like to share it with your followers, then you would retweet it!

How to Retweet

Here is the format of a Retweet – RT @feint “here is the tweet text

The RT obviously stands for “retweet” and lets your followers know that the following is someone elses content.  Next you put their username with the @ so that you link back to their profile and give proper credit.

The Advantages of Retweeting

Retweeting is not only a nice thing for you to do, it may also increase your follower count.  Retweeting puts your username in other peoples Twitter streams.  The more you retweet others the more likely someone will retweet your content.

Don’t Over Do it

Try and limit the number of retweets you put out.  Aim for 80% of your own content and no more than 20% retweets.   This way you won’t annoy followers. And besides your Twitter should be written by you not someone else!
