To receive credit for sharing a Twitter post, you must quote retweet (add a comment) rather than retweet it directly. To do this, click the retweet icon and type your message in the “Add a comment…” field. After posting, go to your profile, find your quoted retweet, and click the upside-down caret (^) to open the menu. Select “Copy link to Tweet.” This link will direct users to your individual shared post—not the original tweet. If you retweet without adding a comment and then copy the link, it will point to the original tweet, and you will not receive credit.
Important: You will NOT earn credit for retweets if your Twitter account is set to private. Your posts must be public.
