Tips to be sure you get the Re-tweets:
1) Use
RT @yourtwittername and
don't exceed 140 characters to ensure you get re-tweeted ( that includes spaces, RT@yourtwittername too!)
2) Use
tinyurl.com or
bit.ly to shorten the URL of your post. Please be specific in the description.. "read this post or blog" isn't going to get the twitter attention you want.
3) Indicate time-sensitive posts if limited time or one day only sales.
4) Please
RT something from everyone. Karma does occur and if you put it out, it will come back to you. If you keep posting and don't RT other tweets, people will stop RTing yours. I know there are newbies out there, just an FYI
5) a program thanks to Cathy Healey,
http://www.twaitter.com. allows you to post everyone's RTs (even the long lists like mine) and schedule them so that they are spread out!
it's really easy, fast and tres cool
