Your influence on Twitter is greatly expanded when your tweets are retweeted by your followers, and you can take certain steps to make this happen more often. The following are some effective ways to get more retweets.
Try writing your tweets so they are not as long as most do – avoid taking it up right to the very max number of characters. Adding comments and retweeting will be easier and faster to accomplish.
You also need to write very concisely and be totally understood with your shorter tweets. You need to be direct in your approach when writing your tweets by keeping in mind the preferences of your target audience. The more easy you make it for them to retweet, the more they will go ahead and do it. If you want your followers to get in the habit of retweeting your tweets then keep supplying them with information that’s worth sharing. Also consider that totally unknowns are less likely to be retweeted unless the news is extraordinarily interesting. The ratio of content to promo tweets really has to be heavily weighted to content. There is really no way to predict what will be retweeted, so just plod along with handing out useful content that you know they will appreciate. You cannot ever have a clue about their needs unless you understand your market.
