The art of the “re-tweet” is a great discussion that could go on for hours.

One big issue that can be addressed quickly is, “How can I get my message re-tweeted in order for more people to see it?”

I enjoy re-tweeting things that are funny and interesting (you should too…hint!). So naturally, you’ll see me re-tweet posts by people like @chrisbrogan, @randyinman, @mashable, @reallifesarah, @guykawasaki, @andybeal and @hubspot, amongst others.

Here’s the thing…if I have to edit or abbreviate your tweet, I’m probably not going to re-tweet it and neither will others.

Time after time I see users post something that’s really funny or interesting and when I hit the RT button it ends up being 200+ characters…pretty frustrating to people who like to re-tweet. Remember, you only have 140 characters.

So, if you can condense your message, you’re much more likely to have it re-tweeted by your followers. Make it easy for them!

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Good luck out there!
