For those of you who have been living under a rock: ReTweets are viewed as "currency" within the Twitosphere. People like Dan Zarrella has devoted countless hours to breaking them down utilizing mechanical turks, algorithms and the collective brainpower of HubSpot.
Well, they should have known better.
You don't have to be a "big deal" on Twitter to enjoy this list and bask in its glory:
1. Post something that is patently false. Come on and try, it's fun.
2. Say something so profound and magical that people's heads explode.
3. Be hilarious. Like punching homeless kids in the face hilarious.
4. Say something incredibly vague that no one understands. (Bonus points if it includes something about a "theorem".)
5. Say something that everyone agrees with.
6. Use a trending topic to promote your own agenda.
7. Incorporate a lame meme into your Tweet.
8. Write linkbait posts like this.
Actual Advice: Create meaningful content that people would genuinely be interested in and possibly learn something from.
