Twitter: How To Get Re-Tweeted

If you have used Twitter for any length of time, you have discovered that not all tweets are created equal. You try to be interesting with the subject matter of your tweets, but you notice that your efforts very seldom pay off with your fellow tweeters. In other words, it appears that your tweets are not retweet worthy.

Hey, you’re tweets are really not that bad. You  just have not discovered certain requirements for making your tweet worthy of a ‘retweet’. If you will follow these three suggestions, you might discover a different outcome for your tweets.

1)What’s your handle (tweet name)? Remember, the longer your username, the less space there is to retweet. When people retweet, they typically format it as “RT @username: your tweet here.” So if you want to get retweeted, make sure you’ve chosen a nice, short Twitter username, so there’s more room for thing to get retweeted over and over again.

2)The Length of your Tweet. Again, like 1) above, size matters. If you want to get Re-Tweeted often, make sure you leave a lot of space in your tweet. Typically you should leave (5 + user name length) characters free in your tweet. That will make it much easier to get Re-Tweeted, since users won’t have to edit your tweet in order to Re-Tweet you.

3)Time of Day. If you really want to get Re-Tweeted, you need to determine when your target audience is most likely to be sitting in front of their twitter accounts. If you tweeting in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping, your tweets will not get a lot of exposure. On the other hand, if you’re posting at peak hours, you’re much more likely to see your tweets get Re-Tweeted. There are different apps that will help you discover what are the peak hours for connecting to your fellow tweeter friends.
