Retweet This Please for week 7/17 7--7/23 ( Sun to Sat) . Please RT others if they RT you!!

Please READ this as some CHANGES have been made;

Post to the WEEKLY threads please.
If you start a post outside those threads-- it will be copied over and your singular post will be deleted. Read the rules and play according to the rules--- and you will find your stuff retweetd

if you want 411 about Triberr.. which is an auto-tweeter.. that you can select groups and tribes not only from people here but by topic .. please let me know. They have lots of parenting and specific topic blogs and you can join more than one tribe.

Relevancy to your audience has become a topic here.. please read the thread about it.. and think about it.

Because if you are tweeting only things skewed to small children.. and others who don't have a small children audience may not be able to retweet something of yours. Think about what else you could include as a post or rt of someone else's blog that you would find relevant. (cooking, fashion, health, fitnes, travel, books, tv shows )

if you retweet things like that from OTHERS.. not only will you have something different to post but you will be building a bigger broader following and will be doing smart social media tactics

if you want to reach a larger audience based on the people here, please add @lastory/mommy-bloggers to retweet to the a larger list of mommy bloggers that goes beyond socialmoms.com

It's targets your audience better.

Please read the notes below

1) 140 characters + spaces .. including RT @yourtwittername

2) the game plan is that you list the posts you would like RT'd.. and if someone specific RTs it, you should be Rt'ing something of theirs.

3) if you have a limited time RT please indicate that it has a deadline. Please include a
DO NOT POST AFTER XX/XX date..
because posting after a sale is over or a contest is over wastes the time of the person who posts it, RTs it and also the consumer who clicks on the link and finds that the event is long done.

4) Please do not keep listing the same RTs repeatedly. Either change up your tweet title or alternate weeks that you list them.

When you repeatedly run the same content on Twitter over and over again, Twitter views it as spam and they can boot you off for running that same content. We don't want that to happen.
If it's a contest, that's not a problem because it ends.

However REGULAR posts, should not be RT'd repeatedly every week.

5) please use URL shorteners (hootsuite.com, socialoomph.com, twaitter.com) and also you can
advance schedule posts & TWEETS across the week. -- that's important.

6) Please do NOT Post about politically charged topics.

by posting about tea party, pro-choice/life, this is not the spot for political perspectives. It can cause your post NOT to be RT'd and also cause problems on twitter. we want twitter to like us.. and to like you.. and that you get lots of followers. to do that, you have to play nice.

7) please try to post on a variety of topics.

If you only post about baby or children's things, less people will RT them, fewer people will read them on twitter. You narrow your audience. By including broader range of posts, you increase your audience/readership potential.

I am not telling you what to post. if your blog is ONLY about moms and small kids-- those whose kids are grown, might not RT your things.. just as you might not RT one of theirs.. so it's something to balance..

8) if you have any questions just ask us!! thank you,

9) Others have mentioned this-- Tweet dumping where you post everything at the same time. Twitter calls this spamming when you dump a slew of tweets all at the same time.

PLEASE use one of the programs where you can schedule the posting of the tweets. you can do them 15 mins apart and get them all done for a week if you want.... including your own.

Just a thought there because some people will QUIT posting your RTs if you are dumping their RTs all at the same time. Note that I use the hootsuite and socialoomph all the time to spread them out..
