  11. Retweets “Retweeting” simply means sharing someone else’s tweet with your followers. It’s a mark of endorsement and recommendation, telling them “this person has something of value to share.” Ways to retweet Retweet icon Manually RT @handle – copy and paste tweet ImpactOnlineMarketing.com
  12. Tips for Retweeting Keep your character count between 70-100 characters Be choosy in what you share – stay relevant Tweets containing links are shared more often than those without Good to use URL shorteners – Bit.ly Use “Please” – gets retweeted more often Talk directly to your audience Ask for a retweet ImpactOnlineMarketing.com

Building a Following Can follow up to 2,000 and then maxed out until your followers are within 10% Ask other social connections to follow you on Twitter Search by interest area or market to find people to follow See Twitter’s suggested people to follow Following some leaders? Follow who they follow… some will follow back Use tools to eliminate those who don’t follow back One good tool: Friend or Follow NOT easy to build a geographic following ImpactOnlineMarketing.com

Twitter Do’s / Don’ts DO: Tweet often – 12-15 x per day for best exposure (min 2-3 x per day) Be “tweet smart” – needs to make sense in just 120 characters Retweet to gain exposure Thank others when they retweet you Use @ symbol correctly (@handle – private; sample @handle – mention) DON’T: Use automated follow-backs (considered Twitter spam) Be overly self-promoting – focus is on sharing, not selling Overuse hashtags – spammy (maximum of 2-3 per tweet) ImpactOnlineMarketing.com
