A Little Known Twitter Secret: Re-Tweeting! SOS “Socializing Online Setup"

 Hi ! fellow tweeter fact fans,

 Re-tweeting is a common practice on Twitter where you’ll re-post someone else’s tweet that you like and you think your followers will like.

 With this method, you take the original twitter message someone else has posted, and rebroadcast that same message to your followers. To do a re-tweet, simply type in RT at the beginning of your tweet and then a: @ before the original tweeters username followed by their original tweet.

 Now Twitter will let you click the Retweet button on the Twitter website which will set up the RT function automatically.

 When broadcasting the message, you should definitely give credit to the original poster in the way I showed you above. I know at first it may sound like this will only be good for the original tweeter, but retweeting can actually benefit you just as much if not more because;

 1. It provides more value to your followers.

 When you provide value to your followers, you make them happy! You are also more likely to attract followers. Providing quality content is always a great way to build your business no matter what platform you use.

 2. It will benefit your brand.

 If you point a reader to a source if good information that is truly relevant and beneficial to them, the amount of trust that they have in you will increase.

 3. It will help you build relationships with the original posters.

 Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and for the most part bloggers like to return the favor. You shouldn't expect someone to re-tweet your content just because you retweet theirs. Just keep in mind that your chance of being on the other end of a re-tweet increases as you Retweet.
