How to Get More Retweets IMMEDIATELY (do these 5 things!!)

1. Pin Your Tweets

Pin your tweets to the top of Twitter. This is the easiest thing you can do to increase your retweets without breaking a sweat.

It will only take you a couple of seconds to pin your tweets to the top of your profile.

This works because people are visiting your page -- and when they get there, this tweet will be waiting at the top of your profile for them to see. 

Here's how you pin your tweets. 

Just visit your Twitter profile. Select the tweet you want to pin to the top. Click the "..." like what you see in the photo below. 

Next click "Pin to your profile." Viola! You're done! Here's a tweet I pinned that got over 1,000 retweets!

Talk about increasing retweets! 

2. Use Images 

Visuals work! According to Twitter, tweets with visuals get 313% more engagement.

This means if your tweet doesn't have visuals in it, you're missing a whole lot of retweets!

My best tip for how to get more retweets is to use an image in as many tweets as you can.

You'll even be able to extend the character limit since you can incorporate text into the visuals. 

3. Mix-Up Your Content

If you're posting the same tweets over and over again -- it gets boring. BORING. 

Instead, try mixing up your content for more variety. There are all kinds of tweets you can try!

• Quotes (with images if possible)
• Retweet others 
• Tweet your original blog / visual content

By providing a variety of different kinds of content, it won't look like you're promoting your own content all the time. Therefore, you'll get more retweets! 

It's simple, but it works.

4. Tap into Real-Time Events or Television Shows 

Wanna know how to get more retweets? Watch TV! :)

According to Twitter, tapping into real-time TV shows can help increase your retweets.

This is useful because you're tweeting "with" your fans instead of "at" them. 

Determine what types of shows your fans love to watch. You should know your demographic well enough to get the results you want. 

 Maybe your followers like...

• Mad Men
• Survivor
• The Walking Dead
• NCIS
• Big Bang Theory
• Scandal
• Modern Family
• The Simpsons
• The Voice
• Supergirl
• Or something else!

Figure it out and tweet along with them -- you can even respond to their tweets too!

The key to getting more retweets this way is to find and use the show's hashtag. You'll probably end up with several more followers too!

If you don't like to watch television, try live tweeting a popular event and watch your retweets soar! 

5. Engage on Twitter

The four tips above will not work if you're not engaging with others.

I'm sure you've heard the saying "if you build it, they will come." Unfortunately, on Twitter, this isn't always true. As a matter of fact, it can be quite the opposite.

If you really want to crush it with your retweets (and all kinds of Twitter engagement), you will need to reach out to people by:

• Responding to their tweets
• Retweeting their tweets
• Following new people
• Joining Twitter chats 
• Building new relationships
• Contributing to the community

When I first got started, I followed this "5 friends and people" rule every day.

This means each day I would...

• Say hello to 5 friends
• Say hello to 5 new people
• Retweet 5 people 
• Retweet 5 new people

This simple trick got me on the road to where I am today.

This is especially important if you're a business on Twitter. According to Twitter, 60% of users who follow businesses have purchased something. And that purchase happens after the brand engages with them on Twitter. 

Conclusion 

These tips are simple, aren't they? It's not as hard as you might think to get more retweets!

You can definitely master Twitter marketing. It just takes time, strategy and little bit of hard work.

If you are willing to put in the effort it requires -- you'll start getting more retweets. Just roll up your sleeves and jump in. You'll see the results!

Put these tips to work for you today. Once your community begins to flourish, you can maintain a loyal Twitter following. Just remember, be part of the conversation!
