How To Make It Easy for Others To Retweet Your Quality PDF or eBook

How To Make It Easy for Others To Retweet Your Quality PDF or eBook | information analyst | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Knowing how to facilitate the sharing of your good work is a key skill today, as if it isn't easy, immediate and frictionless, most people will not take the extra time to stop and invest their own time to let their friends know.

 

This is why knowing how to add a Retweet button at the end of your eBook or PDF guide can be so useful and effective. And by the way, retweeting is not the same as tweeting. So if you know how to package a ready-made "tweet" for others to use, the benefits you get are more than just one.

 

From the original article by Michael Stelzner: "Did you know you can add retweet buttons inside your PDF files?

 

The benefit: readers can effortlessly share your great work with their Twitter followers—just by clicking a button in your PDF file.

 

Below I lay out how to do this in six simple steps."

 

 

Useful. Well explained. 7/10

This post is from 2009, does the feature still work in the same way? In your own work, have you found this valuable? I'm thinking of testing it.

Beth, it should work to this day. I had used it last year and just run into it again. Only problem is that the code in the article is for the old twitter. New twitter has different code. Use http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status= and it should work fine.
