    6 Types of Tweets That Get Retweeted

    reduce-reuse-retweet-20090710-092306Have you ever posted tweets and wondered why they were not retweeted?

    Well, wonder no more now that you are here. Get your tweets noticed by knowing how to draw retweets (RTs).

    1. Quotes

    quote1My favorite way to get RTs is to post quotes from famous people such as Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, and other self-help gurus. These tweets are without a doubt the easiest to come up with and at the same time viral because they are likely to be appreciated.

    This is how I do it:
    “If you don’t set goals for yourself, you are doomed to work to achieve the goals of someone else.” #quote Brian Tracy

    Do not make your tweets too long lest there are insufficient characters remaining for others to include you in the retweets.

    2. Humorous/Interesting

    creative-smileyHumorous tweets could save anyone from boredom or a monotonous day at work. Hence, it could also help you get people interested enough to find out more about you.
    Tweets like “10 Weirdest Toilet Papers” are light-hearted and hence easy to pass on.

    3. Trending Topics

    To capture people’s interest, you should also ride the wave by tweeting content that are or related to popular news. Updates such as “10 Weird Things you didn’t know about Michael Jackson” were retweeted by many after the shocking death of MJ.
    Look out for daily trending topics on your Twitter homepage as well!
