Twitter is a wonderful tool for networking and promoting your business.
One of the most successful ways that you can begin to build a bond with other Twitter users is to Re-Tweet (RT) their Tweets. Being helpful to others is a large part of social networking and re-tweeting is seen as being helpful.
Here are some tips on re-tweeting:
1. Only re-tweet when the the tweet is genuinely something that you found interesting.
2. Only re-tweet if you believe that many of your followers will enjoy reading it.
3. Do not re-tweet too often at once. You may well see 5 or 6 tweets worthy of re-tweeting within a short period of time. If so use a tool such as MarketMeTweet, Tweetdeck or Hootsuite to schedule the re-tweets over a period of time. You don’t want your followers overloaded at once.
4. Always thank people that re-tweet your tweets.
5. Use the re-tweet buttons on Twitter or your Twitter application so that you don’t have to copy or write out the Tweet yourself.
As you re-tweet over the weeks and months ahead you will notice how people appreciate this and you will find that more people will follow you
