Step 4: Creating your Twitter retweet link

https://twitter.com/intent/retweet?tweet_id=514421517359529984

Replace the number with the one you got in step 3.

Now that you have your retweet link created, all you have to do is create a hyperlink and paste in your Twitter retweet link!

When someone clicks your link, they will be taken to a screen to retweet your tweet!

It is also important to remember you cannot retweet your own tweet so you may need to have someone else help you test it.

This way you make sure it works before sharing it.

Customization

If you want to make your Twitter retweet links standout even more, you can also turn it into a button.

This way your retweet is more visible to your audience.
