Introduction
I just recently learned about “tweetables.” I’ve seen them before but didn’t know much about them. So, my first step was to research what they are about, and how to use them. And since I use WordPress to manage my blog, my second step was to find a plugin that would help make a tweetable.

But when I tried to add the most popular plugins for this, none of the them would work with my WordPress theme. So I did some more research, took a bunch of notes, and figured out how to create them without using a plugin. I’ve been able to reduce the process down to three fast, easy, and free steps.

Here are three simple steps that I follow in order to create and embed a tweetable quote into my blog posts:

Bitly is a tool to shorten long url's making them easier to share on social media. The shortened link is called a Bitlink.Step # 1. Open Bitly.com

Example:
Before Bitly, the long version:
(Copy and paste your post link into Bitly to create a BitLink)

After Bitly, the short version:
(You will need to copy and paste this new link into the text box on ClickToTweet)

ClickToTweet is a tool that is used to create a tweetable, which makes it easier for reader's to share your content.Step # 2. Open ClickToTweet.com

Click “Basic Link,” and paste the following items into the text box on ClickToTweet:

Item # 2. Paste the shortened Bitly version of the link address of the post:

Item # 3. Add your Twitter screen name:

Item # 4. Add hashtags if there is any room left:

ClickToTweet is a tool that is used to create a tweetable, which makes it easier for reader's to share your content.Step # 3. Place Tweetable Into Blog Post

Take the URL code that ClickToTweet gives you, and paste it into your blog post in the appropriate place:

Example:
(For the purposes of this blog post that you are reading, I had to slightly change the URL to get it to display properly in this post)

Niche and micro-niche marketing are essential and powerful ingredients for the success of your book. href="http://tt.ec/R8Pml" target="_blank">(CLICK to tweet this quote)

Item # 1. You replace my code: http://tt.ec/R8Pml, with your own that ClickToTweet gives you. Make sure you leave the quotes in.
Item # 2. target="_blank" this means that when someone clicks on your link, it will open Twitter in a new tab/page, and leave your blog post open in its own tab/page.
Item # 3. (CLICK to tweet this quote) this text can be replaced with whatever you want it to say. You do not need the parenthesis.
