What is a Twitter retweet link?
A Twitter retweet link is a direct link to retweet your tweet.
With a Twitter retweet link, you can save your readers time by providing a way for them to easily retweet you without having to go to Twitter, find your tweet, and then click to retweet it.
Where can I use a Twitter retweet link?
You can include a retweet link anywhere you can add a hyperlink.
Here are some of my favorite places to use them:
- In a blog post
- Within an eBook
- Email newsletters
- Email signature
Follow these steps to learn how to create a Twitter retweet link to start getting more people sharing your content on Twitter.
How to create a Twitter retweet link
Step 1: Find a tweet you want to have retweeted
Step 2: Click on the date of the tweet
You can also right-click on the date and copy the link.
Step 3: Get your tweet ID
In the URL bar, copy the long string of numbers at the end of your Twitter URL.
Step 4: Creating your Twitter retweet link
To create your retweet link, copy the following code.
https://twitter.com/intent/retweet?tweet_id=514421517359529984
Replace the number with the one you got in step 3.
Step 5: Sharing your Twitter retweet link
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!
Here is an example of a Twitter retweet link.
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.

Hello, thank you so much for sharing this.
I’ve been looking for this forever.
I wonder… do you have the same tips but with a twitter reshare link that allows the user to add a personnal note (behaviour on twitter when you use “quote tweet”) ?
Thank you.
Hmm. I would use the quote tweet option.
If you want to include a different image, you can try opening an image and then copy and paste it into the tweet. See if that works for you.
