What is a RT and why should I care?

A1 Retweets are the easiest way for more people to see what you share - and if that includes a link = more traffic#b2ctweet

So if you want to maximize tweet or RT reach do NOT click reply or mention and start tweets with anything BUT usernames!#b2ctweet

What type of RT should I use?

A1: The Twitter retweet function shares that person's tweet to the your home stream & that of your followers as it was posted. #B2CTweet

A1: A manual retweet is proceeded by "RT @username" & can be edited. It is shared with your followers like a tweet you composed. #B2CTweet

Do I need apps? If so, what should I use?

The Twitter App notifies me whenever anyone retweets or favorites my tweets. Those are easy to miss. It's why I mainly RT manually #B2CTweet

Want serious Twitter influence? Use @hootsuite combined with @commun_it and @easy_retweet #b2ctweet

What are some tips to help the newbie?

Top recommendation I've seen is to schedule at least 3 unique tweets about the same thing per 24 hours#b2ctweet

A4 Even shy people can "network" by using @easy_retweet to request retweets - no chance of rejection :-)#b2ctweet

Final Thoughts and Action Steps

Key to success is that we have to reach out to those most likely to be interested so they "see" us without us being annoying. #b2ctweet

A1 Tweets should contain a call to action in them - tell the viewer what you wish they would do with that tweet #b2ctweet
