A good friend of mine forwarded an article on proven ways to get retweeted on twitter.  I think she sent this article because she knew I would enjoy and she knew I would have more than two cents to talk about.

Boy was she correct.

This is a subject that many brands are looking to conquer and learn how.  I’ll tell you one thing, bar none, there is NO guaranteed way to get retweeted.  It’s similar to guaranteeing a person will be in a certain mindset, have the same schedule every day.  If you can guarantee that, I know a lot of extremely large brands who would pay through the nose for this.

It simply is not true. 

However, the article does have some wonderful pointers, enough so that I have decided to share it with you – but with the previous disclaimers. 

A few of the proven (based on numbers – not percentages, which I think is where the author looses me) methods include: what URL shorteners to use, common words and phrases and punctuation.

I will agree here.  Take your time to use the correct punctuation and words/phrases and I might be more inclined to retweet you.  However, content is still king and will overrule many of these. 

Give me a tweet with information, catchy, and link to a good article and I will resend [retweet] to my followers.
