Twitter Questions and Queries? - SwantonBomber95 - 10-12-2012 08:03 PM
When someone tweets something and then after it they say RT: < your screen name > and then your tweet in where you mentioned them, what does it mean ?
How do you get people to follow you ?
How do you get people to reply to you ?
Please help and thank you

RT means ReTweet they reposted something your tweeted and to get people to follow you, you must ask them to or they have to decide to. Same goes for replies if they want to the will

RT means they're retweeting something someone tweeted.
I deliberately searched for people I knew on Twitter first. I followed them and they followed me.
I then started searching for people I wanted to follow or even companies. This includes authors, celebrities, fashion blogs, etc. Sometimes other followers will then follow you if you have the same interest.
Lastly, people will eventually flock to you and follow if they like what they're reading.
I tweet for my own use, plus I make money on the side. I also promote my work (I'm a freelance writer). The thing is you have readers even if they don't follow. I only have 50-something followers, but other people also see me.
