Should I retweet myself?

[EJudson]

Is it fine to retweet one of my own tweets so that new people see it?

Hi @EJudson 

Absolutely, you should do it. In fact, it's one of the growth strategies for "personal branding" on Twitter.

Here's a quick plan for retweeting strategy:

• You need analytical tools or at least a social management tool (try the HubSpot Social Media tool)
• First of all, analyse your best-performing tweets (most liked, most retweets, comments etc)
• Then make a list of order (the order should be highly engaged tweets to least) and group them into topics or cluster the same tweets.
• Once you have the list, it's time for execution; find out the most active days when your followers are online and at least find out when they engage with your time.
• Now retweet as a mixture of content (someday retweet most performing tweets of yours and other days least performing)
• Remember; day & time are absolutely important. For every account, it works differently!
• Use your old tweets twice a week, not more than that! No one wants to feel like there feed is a spam feed!
• Keep your eye on trends, and topics and use Twitter threads. And engage with your followers, with their tweets. Make them feel important! Connect with them on a personal level.

Cheers and good luck with retweets 🙂

@EJudson can you let us know what you mean by "new people" -- have you added a lot of new followers recently and you want to retweet something from before all of them started following you, for example?

Hi @JenBergren,

For context, I'm running the account for an alumni relations department at a university. We've added a few followers recently, but I was going to retweet a tweet that contains a link to register for a webinar. I'm hoping to get more people to sign up.

Thanks for the tag @JenBergren!

I'd say the best way to "retweet" a tweet is by via quote tweeting where you can add more value to the tweet, plus it would give double the traction. Would be my best advice.
