Retweet This Please for week 6/19- 6/25. Please RT others if they RT you!!

hi everyone! This week's RTs will run from Sunday 6/19- 6/25

We are starting a new week every Sunday
Please don't forget to RT at least one thing from anyone who has rt'd your tweets to keep our group going strong!

As an FYI, the comment wall has been removed because people were posting RTs there and that's not how this group works.

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, fitness. )

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

have a wonderful week!! karma people!

Don't forget to add @lastory/mommy-bloggers to retweet to the list of mommy bloggers. It's REALLY important. to do this
Please read the notes below

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

2) If you post a RT and it gets RT'd
you have to RT something from the person who RT'd your post

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 and also you can
advance schedule posts & TWEETS across the week. -- that's important.

Don't dump all your tweets at one time.. you lose the advantage of twitter and get some exposure to a variety of people at different times of the days..

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.

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..

it's EASY..

I'm not entirely sure I follow this twitter list concept. When I post new tweets here do I have to format them like this for it to work now?

Hi Denise

If your tweet is really mommy/family oriented, using the @lastorymommybloggers is a good way to hit your target audience.. because it's just floating by the rest of the people who are ignoring it..

If it's general-- like the camping RT that was earlier and some of the books, the LOFT contest.. that's for anyone!!
