In this post, I am going to clarify briefly what a Retweet is and why we do it.
So; a Retweet is when you see a nameâ??s peep and, well â?¦. Retweet it.
When you RT a nameâ??s peep, the peep will start RT: @twitteruser â?¦â?¦â?¦â?¦..
The reason that we Retweet people is that we will either find it appealing, or we reckon that some of our followers may find it appealing.
Letâ??s say that the person doing the RT is person A, and the person being RTâ??d is person B.
There are no real benefits for person A when they RT person B, apart from that maybe in the future, to say thank you, B will RT one of Aâ??s tweets.
There are, but, benefits for B. Everyone of Bâ??s followers have by now seen his Peep. When it gets RTâ??d by A, everyone of Aâ??s followers would see the peep as well. If this was a link, B would benefit from more people seeing and clicking his link, so it will increase his traffic. If it is a touch else, that may interest Aâ??s followers, they may choose that they want to see more of this content, and will follow B as well.
In fleeting, when you get RTâ??d by a name, you are increasing the reach your Peep has, which will, in turn, either bring to somebody’s attention traffic, your follower numbers, or your reputation; sometimes all three!!
So there you have it; What a Retweet is, and why we use them. In the next post, I will give you all some tips on how to get RTâ??d. So, keep waiting for my Tweets! (And RT them!!)
