It takes two things to get more retweets. Good connections and quality content.
Posting quality items on your Twitter stream will dramatically improve the chances of a Retweet. No one wants to retweet something you’re selling! Instead, find quality links that you thing your followers may find interesting.
But the most important factor in getting more retweets is quality connections. I have found by simply, interacting with my followers more, I have dramatically increased the number of retweets i’m getting.
Here are some tips on creating quality connections:
- @reply to Followers – its important to not just post and push information out. You also need to take the time to respond. Make an effort to @reply to at least 5 people a day.
- Promote Others Content – Promote your followers blog posts and their content. Make sure you put (via @username) at the end so they can see that you’re promoting them
- Say Thanks – When someone does retweet your content, take the time and effort to say thanks
So now you know how to get more retweets! Its not hard. Making some connections with just a few of your followers will dramatically increase the amount of retweets you get.
