Increasing Your ReTweet Numbers

This morning I read a great little post from Daniel Scocco on increasing the number of retweets on your blog. This has been something I have been struggling with for the last few weeks myself. I have been looking for tips and tricks on various blogs but Daniel’s simple list basically says it all.

Simply stated two facts stand out:

  • Increase your traffic by providing high quality and useful content (naturally – more readers=more retweets)
  • Ask your readers to retweet your posts – some readers may not be using twitter and others may be using twitter but do not know what the retweet button is

I have 1500 followers on my main twitter account (MY FOLLOW ME BUTTON IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE (shameless promo :) ) and I have averaged 1-2 retweets per post. My retweet button hasn’t been working correctly but I have been tracking the tweets through my url shortening service (I have toyed with 2 services lately).

So with Daniel’s tips in mind, I ask you to PLEASE use my retweet button on the top right corner of this post to pass these tips onto others (another shameless promo)! :)
