How To Create A Pre-Populated Tweet

This is really easy to do. I will show you the steps to generating the example I made for this training

You will make a url that has 4 parts:

1. The Twiiter url
2. Your message
3. Hash Tag (optional)
4. Your page URL and/or Twitter handle (optional)

1. The Twitter URL

This is the root of your link - This is how the link knows to open a twitter in a new window.

http://twitter.com/home/?status=

2. Add your message

After the equals sign you are going to add the text that you would like to tweet. Between each word add a (+) sign. A (+) sign creates a space in the tweet

Example: I will Add "Increase Social Sharing On Your Blog"

http://twitter.com/home/?status=Increase+Social+Sharing+On+Your+Blog

3.Add an optional hash tag (#)

If you wanna add a (#) hashtag, you have to replace the (#) with a %23

Example: I will add #TwitterTrick:

http://twitter.com/home/?status=Increase+Social+Sharing+On+Your+Blog +%23Twittertrick:

4.Add Your page URL and/or Twitter handle

Add Url’s, short links, pretty links, or twitter handles, just like you were normally tweeting.

Here is what my code looks like for this exact training post:

http://twitter.com/home/?status=Increase+Social+Sharing+On+Your+Blog +%23Twittertrick:+http://goo.gl/34Gxr0+by+@homemakinmoney

This is the final result:

Tips:

1. Test the URL in your browser before adding it as a hyperlink to your content to make sure the formatting looks correct.
2. While Urls and twitter handles are optional...I highly advise adding
3. I definitely advise shortening the links because of Twitters 140 character limit.
