Some people are claiming that 2013 is the year of video. In a Happy New Year email to one of my blogging friends, I committed to leaving my procrastination with this tool behind me. Disclaimer:I am a novice at instructional video like this. Move on if you are expecting to see a Hollywood-like production. However, if you want a quick overview of an easy tool to get more Retweets, Facebook likes and Goggle+ of your content, or bloggers whose work you admire, then this Just Rewteet, is a tool to consider. And if you are an introvert who wants more retweets more easily, this is a time and energy saver. Hooray for disconnecting from overwhelm! Here are some highlights, or watch the above video for similar.
Share and you will be rewarded.
When you create an account by logging in with Twitter, you are gifted 100 credits. As if free isn’t enough of an incentive for some! You will need credits to submit posts you want retweeted, liked or Google +. Also, if followers are what you are after, you offer others credits to follow you. This an more is all controlled on your Dashboard.
All you do is ask.
You’ve got the free account, you even have some credits and lo and behold, you have a blog post that would be so helpful to so many more people than you have already reached. Move over to the right with the tabs and you find Submit Tweet. Type in your tweet , with the link to your content – and do remember to use a hashtag for the relevant terms you want to be picked up. The controls are in your hands as to how many credits to offer, how many times to retweet or share and where to promote your content. Note: To avoid spam and the like, request retweets for sales pages, direct affiliate links, squeeze pages, and other overly promotional or low quality content, get deleted.
No overload here.
I love this rule as an introvert because it helps me to focus and keep to my preferred slower pace: only 3 total tweet retweet requests in a 24 hour period. Pick your best content to share and you’ll find you get retweeted more often, more easily, by more people.
Keep your eye on serving.
My experience has been valuable in various ways. And my process is generally the same once I log in: I look for good content to share, Just Retweet does that automatically once a select posts appropriate for my audience. My Twitter followers are growing every day, with greater regularity. My blog is being visited more which is going to raise it in Alexa and Google page rankings. But best of all, which makes it easy on this introvert, I’m building relationships with people who I already value by seeing the content they are writing.
There is a faster track to MORE.
My confession is, as a go-giver and being interested in sharing valuable content, I’ve always got enough credits for the pace I want to build my online social networking presence. If you want to go faster, you can actually purchase credits fairly inexpensively. What does buying a credits package get you? I took a peek for you: First, you become a featured member which means your profile shows up in prime areas on the site. When I see those featured members, after I assess our blogging compatibility, I follow them. Secondly, your tweets as a Featured members are highlighted and stand out more in the Retweet stream. Third, your tweets are rotated in the first position, ensuring maximum exposure to members of the site.
I have not tried this, but I think it needs to be on my list of things to try. Anything to make tasks easier is a good thing.
I haven’t yet set this tool up. My plan is to do so next week. Thanks for the prompt and the additional info. 🙂
I agree with Susan and Cheryl. This looks like a great tool. I’m going to try it too.
Pat — I wasn’t aware of JustRetweet but hopped over to the site to check it out and I plan to join. Thanks for the tip.
I’m sure you’ll be delighted GeekGirl to check it off your list as – done!
Susan, you are a NATURAL for it.
Bethany, you just might like it!
I love using JustRetweet Patricia. It has helped me to get more retweets, Facebook likes, Google +1’s as well as many comments on my blogs posts. It’s also been great in helping me meet new people and finding new, quality blogs. So, it’s a great site for networking as well 😉
Good video Pam!! Nice to hear your voice.
Sound like a good idea. Would be interesting to know how long you have used JustRetweet and what results you have had?
That’s great Pat.
Are all the members in the United States? Am asking you because if and when I join I would like to cooperate with Swedes.
Am widely read in 99 countries but feel it’s time to focus more on Sweden.
Thanks Kevin! I can totally relate to how Just Retweet has helped me. And I SO appreciate your comment here.
Catarina, it was mid December, just one month ago.
Results are quite similar to Kevin – more followers (broke 4K on Twitter finally!), more retweets, Facebook likes, Google +1’s (attracting adding to circles everyday), some more comments on my blogs posts, and a radio show interview request.
Hi Catarina,
JustRetweet accepts members from all over and we have users in many different countries. We do request that your tweets be in english however.
Thank you for that information Chris.
Please let me know how many members you have in Sweden. My blog is in English but since I’m now back in Sweden I’m building up a network here.
All my tweets are in English:-)
Just would like to know if it’s worth while joining when it comes to building up a network in Sweden?
Hi Catarina,
I don’t have any exact numbers, but honestly i think the number of members from Sweden would be probably very small.
But if you did find that JustRetweet worked well for you, then you maybe you could help me recruit more Swedish members to the site. 🙂
Thanks for the post Pat – I’ve not heard of this tool before and am always looking for better ways to get the most out of twitter. Sounds great!
Sounds Great tool to me. And, most importantly, unlike other such webs, Justretweet has cool and real members! I was easily convinced by the look of the site 🙂
Have to try this tool soon! I am sure it will help lot!
