How to add “tweet this” links in your blog posts.

November 25, 2014

This post is going to show you how easy it is to include a “tweet this” quote in your blog posts without using a plugin. Plugins are great, but they aren’t always necessary and can slow down your site’s load speed. By using the click to tweet’s free basic plan you will be able to quickly add tweet this quotes to your posts and be able to control the design of the tweet.

The end result of your tweet this quote will look something like this:

Learn how to include a “tweet this” quote in your blog posts! It’s super easy.
Tweet this!

How to make a click to tweet quote in your blog posts.

Go ahead and test it out 😉

Let’s get started. Head over to clicktotweet.com and click to sign in with Twitter. Twitter will ask  you to authorize the app and then you are in!

With the free version, you only get 5 dynamic tweet quotes, but I don’t really think they are necessary. The basic links work just fine and you can create as many as you’d like.

Fill out what you want the tweet to say and then click generate basic link.

Write text for click to tweet quote

Copy that link and then head to your blog.

Use click to tweet link to create tweet this quotes.

In your post, write the quote you want readers to tweet and then add something like “click to tweet”, “tweet this”, etc. Highlight the tweet this text and then create a link. Paste your link in the URL field.

Add click to tweet quote in your blog posts

 

Tada!

When readers click the link, a new tab pops up with the quote.

    The Social Warfare plugin is fantastic, just a heads up. But, you can easily hard code your links to Click To Tweet, too. You can add these as a text link or as the custom link from a graphic.

    Here’s one I did recently:

      LOL. Of course it pulled parts of the entire link to make smaller, inaccurate links. It’s all one link destination. 🙂

      Great site. Looking forward to sharing your content!

      Thanks for sharing. I like to do things without a plugin if it’s easy! Plus, this method works for platforms other than WordPress

    Even easier using the Social Warfare plugin – I use it on my own site: http://warfareplugins.com?ref=23

    It adds a little “click to tweet” button to your editor, to easily add click to tweets while editing a post on the fly. The main feature has to be the awesome sharing and share count addition. It can be seen on my own site (linked with my name).

    This is brilliant, thank you so much. I had installed a plug in for this but it completely messed with my WordPress site. 🙁 This looks fantastically simple though, thank you. 🙂

    I’m actually wondering if there’s some kind of special software out there for creating positive quotes. I noticed positive quotes get a lot of traffic from Pinterest. Do you know if there’s any kind of free software out there for creating positive quotes?
