Raise your hand if you love to Tweet on Twitter?!
Yes, guilty as charged here.
Even if I have shared on more occasion then not that Twitter moves a bit fast for me, I still love it so and am always trying to find new ways to get my message out there and become more vocal on Twitter, as a blogger and someone who spends quite a bit of my waking time on social media.
I have already shared how I love Pinterest and Instagram, too.
But Twitter definitely is loved here, too by me.
So, in the last month or so, I kept seeing these fancy Twitter boxes crop up on blogs I have grown to adore and love.
I just couldn’t help, but want to find more out and see if I could use it on both my personal and business blogs.
Lo and behold, when I did a bit of digging, I found out that it was called Click to Tweet and is created by the same company that brought us CoSchedule, which is a very wonderful, powerful and fancy Editorial/Social Media Calendar Plugin for WordPress that I gave an in depth look at here.
I had to have Click to Tweet for my own to try though.
First off it is free unlike CoSchedule, which you have to pay to use.
Also, some of the features of Click to Tweet, I found out definitely sounded awesome, such as:
- visual editor button
- Twitter icon
- automatically links URL
- styled box design
- styled text
So, I knew I had to download, install, and activate Click to Tweet.
That was simple enough, but what about using it – is Click to Tweet that simple?
I am here to say YES Click to Tweet is!!
Once Click to Tweet is installed/activated you simply, go into the post you want to include it in and look for the “blue Twitter bird” in your blog post toolbar.
Now you will click on that little “blue Twitter bird” and can compose your “Tweet”…
So, now that I composed my Click to Tweet, won’t you share it right below now!
See, didn’t I tell you that was easy to do! And a great way to get more active on Twitter with all your WordPress articles and followers indeed.
Happy Tweeting!!!
**Also, a side note that if you are unsure how to still do this or just don’t have the time to install or keep up with social sharing, such as Twitter, please feel free to take a look at my Virtual Assistant Service and Contact Me for my rates.**
Janine,
I am so crazy! I got this plugin months ago. I used it a couple of times and loved it. I truly totally forgot about it. I have no idea why I did not continue using it in all of my posts. CRAZY ME! How do you forget what a blue bird is at the top of your WordPress?
Thanks for the reminder! I can ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU for great helpful posts at J9.
Blessings,
Diane Roark
Diane, U know I would forget my head sometimes if it werent screwed on, but still happy I could temind you today to use this 😉
I’ve wondered about CoSchedule, and am thrilled to find out that Click to Tweet is available, too! 🙂

Ray, I have been using it for a few weeks and thought I loved it and so wanted to share for others. So happy to pass on. Thank you for your comment and tweet too 😉
I just don’t get enough traffic from Twitter, so I don’t bother much over there to be honest.
Robin, that does make sense, but I have to be honest this has indeed helped with my Twitter traffic since using it. So, I can’t help, but recommend 🙂
AWESOME, Janine! Bring on the Tweets as I love it too 🙂 You always share very helpful information and I appreciate it. I used to use those features but haven’t in some time so this is a good refresher for me!

I love Click to Tweet. Use it for most of my posts and every blog hop.
I know and you totally were one of the first I saw using it and thank you for turning me onto this wonderful feature and so much more 🙂
I installed it! Ok, with Stan’s help, but now I can use it – I hope….. Someday when you have a bottle of advil and chocolate nearby, can you help me figure out Co-Schedule? I LOVE your posts and they help me so very much. Thank you for sharing with all of us the terrific tools to use. Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow

Yay and so glad Stan helped you. Will definitely be using it when I see it on your page. And whenever you have some free time, let me know and will totally help you with Co-Schedule 🙂
I don’t use twitter as often as I should. So many outlets to use!
