Retweeting and getting retweets is a big part of the Twitter music marketing game. TrackMaven, a competitive intelligence data gathering service, recently released a free "Retweet Report" based on an analysis of 1.7 million tweets. Jeff Bullas then compiled and discussed 9 tricks one can use to increase the likelihood of being retweeted. Though I never turn such insights into a one size fits all rulebook, I find that experimenting with such details does change the response one gets on Twitter.

"[The Retweet Report](http://trackmaven.com/blog/2013/12/the-retweet-report/?ref=hypebot.com)" is available as a free download from TrackMaven. They look at correlations between various actions and the numbers of retweets on Twitter and came up with a nice mix of the obvious and the surprising.

Jeff Bullas [teased out](http://www.jeffbullas.com/2013/12/12/9-simple-and-powerful-ways-to-get-more-retweets-on-twitter-report/?ref=hypebot.com) 9 especially useful points for getting retweets:

**9 Tricks For Getting More Retweets On Twitter**

#1\. Tweet on Sundays

#2\. Tweet between 10pm and 11pm

#3\. Use more hashtags

#4\. Position your link 90% of the way through the tweeet

#5\. Use pictures on Twitter

#6\. Implement Twitter picture previews when tweeting

#7\. Use “Retweet” not “RT”

#8\. Use exclamation marks when tweeting

#9\. Use UPPERCASE on Twitter

I'm not sure I can bring myself to use UPPERCASE in my tweets but I guess that's what separates the real winners from those of us who lag behind!
