How to Retweet: A Simple Guide

April 17, 2008

This is a guest post by AJ Vaynerchuk. He blogs about social media, marketing, and SEO, and spends a lot of his time on Twitter.

Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter while you’re at it.

Many bloggers use Twitter as a platform to promote their own blog. That’s an easy concept, no need to waste our time there. Instead, lets focus on something that is under-utilized by most bloggers: promoting other blogger’s content by “retweeting.”

The art of “retweeting” is best described as taking a twitter message someone else has posted, and rebroadcasting that same message to your followers. When broadcasting this message, you should give credit to the original poster. While retweeting sounds great for the original tweeter (since there is usually a link involved), retweeting can actually benefit you just as much if not more.

How to Properly Retweet

Before we get into the greatness of retweeting, it would probably be a good idea for you to understand how to properly retweet.

The common syntax starts off with the use of a label. My favorite label to use is “RT:” – the label “Retweeting:” and “Reading:” work as well.

Next comes the crediting. You can credit the original poster by simply using the @reply syntax, for example: “@originalPoster”.

Lastly, you should add the link along with a quick note about the link and why it is relevant. Here is a full example of retweeting:

Now that you understand how to properly retweet, lets move on to some basic concepts of retweeting.

Only Retweet Content You Find Truly Interesting and Relevant

The natural instinct many of you will have is that if you retweet another individual’s content, then there is a better chance that the original poster will retweet your content in the future. While this holds true (and I will cover that in a minute), you should not simply retweet everyone’s content for your own personal gain. You must be selective when you retweet since the whole point of this practice is to benefit your followers.

Retweeting Provides Value to Your Follower

There is a reason why people follow you, value. If you can provide value to your follower you will not only make that individual happy, but you will most likely attract more followers. Providing quality content is always a great way to provide your followers with value. The first thing that comes to mind is writing up a great blog post, and linking the post in a tweet. While this is one way to approach this concept, it is not the only way. Another way to provide your followers with great content is to link to other relevant and interesting content.

Retweeting Will Benefit Your Personal Brand

Retweeting will most likely build your personal brand as well as your follower’s loyalty. If you point a reader to an external source that is truly relevant and beneficial to them, the amount of trust that individual has in you will increase. The next time you post a link, whether it be to your blog or to another source, the chances of that individual clicking that link are higher than before.

Retweeting Will Help You Build Relationships With The Original Posters

As mentioned previously, the likelihood of being on the other end of a retweet increases as you retweet. Retweeting someone else’s content is an act of kindness, and for the most part bloggers like to return such acts. This isn’t to say that you should expect someone to retweet your content just because you retweet theirs. Again, retweeting is all about providing value to your followers, and an individual isn’t going to retweet a post of yours if it is not top notch.

A Concern: Doesn’t Retweeting Steer My Followers Away From Me?

Actually no. In my opinion retweeting will never lose you a follower or reader (unless you send them to some sort of spam, or even worse you RickRoll them!). Why would someone stop reading your blog or following your twitter because you sent them off to another website? Keep an open mind when it comes to your readers, they are usually smart and good people.

Conclusion

Retweeting is a great way to add quality and value to your Twitter. If used incorrectly retweeting can actually hurt your personal brand and future traffic. If done right, retweeting can help you educate your followers, build your personal brand, increase future traffic, and connect you to other bloggers / content creators in your niche.

I’ve never retweeted before, so I’m gonna give it a try.
isleApril 18th, 2008
Thanks for that. I am still a bit of a Twitter n00b (something I am *not* used to being!) and I appreciate well written pertinent advice on protocal. I had assumed that retweeting was merely reposting one’s own tweet later.

This form of retweeting is very useful to all.

me too, i’m kinda noob in twitter and i don’t even know how it works but i do have an account there

thanks for this great post.

This is a very good technique for getting more traffic and backlinks to your blog.

I found this so interesting that I twittered it!

RickRoll ha ha

I haven’t been around tweeter long enough to have been rickrolled but I guess I just was. Nice outfits and “white boys can dance!”

Thanks for the twittequette lesson
baldeagleApril 30th, 2008
I am also relatively new to Twitter and learning about it is very fascinating (kinda like being in a chat room with the whole world). And if you surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, you’re bound to learn something in 140 words or less.

I equate retweeting to the same concept as sharing your favorite quote, or discussing a great lecture with friends. Only here, you can share the original media, quickly and effectively.

If knowledge is power, Twitter is the fuse.
BrendanApril 30th, 2008
I came here through a ReTweet, so I with Bambi I’ll reweet for now thanks Brendan
Daniel Johnson, Jr.June 9th, 2008
I retweet; therefore I am.

I often retweet something I see in my Twitterfeed to share with a larger audience. I get requests to do that more and more, especially considering how I’m building my network through twitter to have a more geographic focus.

you know what re-tweeting means to me? (at least in the instances I have seen it)

That somebody is too lazy to come up with something new, and keeps posting the same crap over and over.

It gets boring when my inbox (run Twitter entirely via SMS) fills with various combinations of “RT, Retweet, etc..”
Mark D Worthen PsyDOctober 5th, 2008
Kudos to AJ Vaynerchuk. This is an excellent article; it is well-organized, succinct, and timely. I’ll be recommending it to other Internet marketers.

Marketing for AttorneysOctober 22nd, 2008
I appreciate this abundance-mindset with regard to retweeting. In attorney marketing, many lawyers have a tendency to believe that sharing or retweeting will cause them to lose Twitter followers or to lead readers away from their individual blogs. Serving others is always the best way to build one’s business.

Not more than a week ago I was asking what is a ReTweet. I got a good explanation from @jeanettejoy and started using it. I found that when you Retweeted for someone they noticed you. That’s good.

This article helped me understand some of the nuances without experiencing the negatives of wasted effort.

Thank you AJ Vaynerchuk for a well thought out article..

Warmest Regards,

Doing business is ALL about the relationships we create with our clients, so this is relevent in today’s world. If our activity on Twitter and other social media builds and strengthens our relationships with colleagues, clients and potential clients, then it is worth spending time becoming familiar with, and getting involved in, “social media.”

Great description…short and to-the-point.

Thanks…have a great Wednesday!

Good post. I actually prefer the syntax of RT rather than retweet, as characters are at such a premium on Twitter.

I’ve actually got a video on engaging people on twitter using replies, dm’s and retweets. Those with five minutes on their hands can find it here: http://www.flyteblog.com/flyte/2008/10/how-to-engage-people-on-twitter-replies-direct-messages-retweets.html
rosieNovember 25th, 2008
I have been retweeting but did not call it retweeting. Thanks, will do it right now. Or is there room for new syntax?
TwittonaryDecember 5th, 2008
I think RTing is a way to really get the most coverage out of an important issue. Discussions and news spread faster on Twitter than even the media can handle it. Its truly an amazing tool.

It is also important to be engaging and real in your tweets and not just spew out links and retweets.

Great post, and thanks for the rick roll link… truly one of the funniest and most horrible viral phenomenons ever!!
Leslie CarothersDecember 8th, 2008
First, I want to say thank you to Jeremiah Owyang and Sasha Kane, both of whom I found out about on Twitter. They are two of the most generous people to follow on Twitter.

Today, I sent out a call for help. My industry, furniture, is in danger of losing thousands of jobs. I decided to ask my Twitter network to help me bring attention to this issue. My post has been retweeted several times and I am sure thousands of people who did not realize the furniture industry was hurting are now aware and, in their own way, helping me to spread the word.

The power of retweeting to help others cannot be overstated. It is a tremendous power for social good when used in the proper context.

Most people that I follow retweet things that are:

1. Useful for business
2. Funny-to bring happiness and a smile to someone who may need it.
3. Used to effect social change.

I see very little abuse in my tweet stream of retweeting .

Retweeting is a tremendous gift we can give each other when it is used right. We are creating an expansion of opportunities and opening up conversations around the globe when we retweet.

Thank you for this excellent post and thank you to Jeremiah and Sasha Kane for leading me to it

What is the proper protocol for “embellishing” an original tweet in a retweet?

My strategy has been like this:

ORIGINAL

@BobDobbs A great post on how to smoke used oatmeal http:/is.gd/kshc

RETWEET

RT [Tastes great & less filling] @BobDobbs A great post on how to smoke used oatmeal http:/is.gd/kshc

is that proper Twitter etiquette or is it not proper to embellish an original tweet at all?

all views appreciated.

Wendy TarrDecember 19th, 2008
Thanks for the tip. As a Twitter novice there’s so much to get my head around!
Ben Stock of BrainpowerDecember 22nd, 2008
It’s likely that an RT will reach someone among my followers who has not seen the original post before so I don’t consider it lazy to RT.

One useful tip: A RT attribution needs some free space for the original sender’s user name. If you post a 140 character tweet, the RT will have to be edited to make room for the attribution
RT @originalsender original text, comment
[that needed 18 characters of slack space just to fit in the attribution]
If you want the wider reach of RT, make it easy for the RT to happen.
I’ve had several uneditable texts I could not shrink to RT size without claiming them as my own orgiinals because attribution couldn’t be fit in. So I didn’t send them further.
Mitch RobersonDecember 24th, 2008
Great post. I understand that retweeting is taking a post someone else has posted and rebroadcasting that to your followers. But how does that actually work? 1. someone I’m following makes a post. 2. I receive the post. What happens next to allow me to rebroadcast that to my followers? Do I have to copy and paste it into the twitter box?

Also, I want to know if I can make a post that my followers can automatically rebroadcast to their followers. Slightly different question from the one above. Is this possible? If so, how exactly what it work?

Thanks!

Good article, very helpful. And judging from some of the other comments, now I don’t feel so bad about having to occasionally edit a tweet I want to retweet (I use BrightKit for my retweeting needs) to make it fit the 140 limit.
Digital SceneJanuary 12th, 2009
A very interesting and useful post. I have only just really got into the art of twitter – I found it very strange and worthless at first, I could not get my head around it But slowly I have learnt and it is becoming a useful tool to lever visitors and increasde community.

Again Thank you for a great post

Fantastic, I just started using Twitter, though I signed up for it a while ago, I was searching for just this explanation of ReTweeting.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the helpful article – just what I need. Used it to do my first Retweet.
chethJanuary 27th, 2009
I guess I knew all these before.. I try to maintain my retweet frequency so that my followers don’t get irritated.

Yea and one important tip is that you need to keep the tweet as short as possible so that retweeters like me wont have to sit and edit it
Kim (KimsKorner)January 29th, 2009

We retweet news and updates of our followers (mostly musicians and solo artists) who follow us. I think that it is one way to thank your followers and give something back.

We use: RT (saves a lot of space)

Tom SparksMarch 13th, 2009
Thanks for the article. I get retweets all the time and appreciate them. I just wasn’t savvy enough to be sure how to retweet.

Now, we just have to get word editors to add “retweet” as a real word and get it into Websters.
breadMarch 18th, 2009
thanks for the tips… i’m still new in twitter.
Just i’m wondering who set the rule for you to tweet?

I thought we can write whatever we like….of course for those would like to promote something maybe they have to follow your tips…

i’m joining twitter just for fun.

Cheers!

Hi,
I added Twitter to my homepage of my real estate website just to give snippets of info to people checking out my site. Local real estate stats, etc. People started following me and I couldn’t figure why I having people added when I wasn’t even posting. Then I noticed a couple of people were retweeting my info. I guess some who read the retweet came to my site and began following me. Who knew???
MarkoMarch 27th, 2009
Just retweeted the first time. There it goes! Basically the thing is -> forward it if you’re really interested about it.

TerryApril 28th, 2009
The RT abbreviation goes before @twitteruser. If you put nothing before @twitteruser, your retweet will not go to your list of followers. It will go only to @twitteruser. And to any person who follows BOTH @twitteruser and you – if any.

The abbreviation, RT, is not a system command. Twitter does not scan your tweet text in search of “RT”.

If you put nothing before @twitteruser, you are not retweeting.

When credit a source for a retweet of a retweet, is it better to credit the original or the retweet?

Specifically, one of my followers retweeting something I found interesting, so I wanted to retweet it. Do I credit my follower or her source?

More interestingly, the narration frames the rewind as a question, explicitly asking how she got there and providing an answer through the narrative logic. ,

I RT what I find interesting and what I think my followers would benefit from. There has been times where the tweet is fabulous, but I’m not able to retweet it because it’s so long. If you want people to retweet your message, try to keep it at 120 characters.

I’m brand new to twitter (and blogging), am a stickler for etiquette, and have a retweet-related question: I have seen several glowing tweets about my blog, none of which were actually sent to me. Is it bad form to retweet them so they will show on my own twitter page? I’m torn. On the one hand, I don’t want to look like a shameless bragger, but, on the other hand, it does show that I am a credible blog, news I wouldn’t mind sharing.

Question: As I am just new to Twitter, I haven’t got into platforms like TweetDeck yet, and I was wondering if there was another way to put the Retweet symbol (double arrows) at the start while staying in just Twitter???
Noosa AccommodationApril 12th, 2010
I guess RT is like blog posting. post good quality content & people will find ways to share it & make it viral. i like to mix retweeting up with my own tweets too
Bangalow AccommodationApril 12th, 2010
Still wondering how do you put the retweet symbol (yin yang arrows) from inside twitter at the start of a retweet without having to use an external app?? Anyone out there know how to do this?

I know ‘RT:’ is one of the few ways to retweet, but there is now a retweet button below a message someone has ‘tweeted’. I do not understand how this button works and would like to know how, please either find out or can someone let me know.
