I am asked over and over again how I manage to get over a hundred tweets per post on a regular basis.
The answer is actually quite simple and, in many ways, very obvious: it’s all about networking and collaboration.
Here are my 7 ways to get an impressive number of retweets nearly on autopilot.

First of all, the most important thing is that you understand what your business objectives are and how they translate into online goals. That will make the difference and you will be able to determine if numbers, either high or low, are important for your business AND, if it’s relevant to display them on your site/blog.

Today we’ll look into content performance and as I said previously, probably my favorite one when it comes to metrics.
