RETWEETS WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 2010

So you want to get some ReTweets? Here's how.

Specifics!

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

General Guidelines ( courtesy of Cherie & Julie)

Please post your 140 character (or less) message that you'd like others to tweet about in the Discussion Forum thread "Retweets for the Week". A new discussion with this title will be posted every Sunday so we know which retweets are current.

Example: RT @julieFBT Have u declared the American Cancer Society as the official sponsor of your birthday? http://budurl.com/ACSMoreBdays

It can be a new blog post, a product, service, worthy cause, sale, promotion, contest, funny video, new website, an upcoming event...I think you get the idea. :)

Members can pick and choose which messages they'd like to tweet about to their followers.

NOTE:

If you want others to retweet for you, make sure you retweet for others or this won't work. Also keep in mind that engaging on Twitter is about posting tweets of value to your followers.

Evaluate these RT requests and only retweet the ones you feel will add value.

Also please make sure that if you are having difficulty posting RT's via the method you use whether directly on twitter or tweetdeck, twaiter, hootsuite or whatever, that it posts only once in a row.

Sometimes if the connections are funky, there are multiples which can *upset* the Twitter community and the Twitter people can warn or suspend you for too many "spam" type tweets.

Take the time to delete them.

Members may post a brief intro about themselves & their business on the comment wall, but please do not spam members.

Please do not try to sell the members your product or service. Please add this info to your profile on "my page".

Please do not ask for feedback about your blog or business.

Please do not add full blog posts. These are best left on your profile blog.

To keep this group as streamlined as possible, posts that do not adhere to these guidelines without notification.

Let's keep this simple and easy for members to use. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you better and building an awesome group! Thank you!! ..

Hi all. If you have a second would you mind voting for me? I was nominated San Diego Best in Lifestyle Blog. There is some fairly major recognition for people who make it into the top 5, which is what I'm aiming for. I sincerely thank you in advance.

That's really strange. I think it's ok if it's a reply and not a DM. Let me know if anyone else has a problem. It worked for me. Thanks!
