Value of Purchasing Retweets?

Anybody knows if it's a good idea to purchase retweets from Twitter accounts with genuine large number of followers? Possibly 200k followers?

    I would think yes! Every time I get retweets I get also some favorites and new followers. It depends on the price but if you don't have to much to pay try it out and you will see what happens. The only thing I wouldn't do is to buy such a retweets from fiverr because I bought social traffic over there before and haven't got good results.

    Hi,
    The main thing is NOT purchasing the "Tweets" but how effective there going to be. Before you actually purchase the "Tweet" do the following:

    I know much of this answer will be geared towards “sponsored” tweets but it follows the same mechanics. A sponsored tweet means simply to purchase a “tweet” on someone’s page while retweet means that they are tweeting your previous message. Either way there will be money involved and you need to explore the benefits to the disadvantages.

    You need to determine the Tweet providers target audience. There is no point in a sponsored Tweet if their audience is not niche targeted to your industry. Use Alexa.com or Quantcast.com and paste the URL of the sponsored tweet provider to get a breakdown of their audience. Do some research to see if they have things in common with your audience or the people you are targeting.

    It’s important to determine the “bang for the buck” ratio. If you are paying $200 and the tweet will only go out to 2000 people then personally there are better ways to spend your money. I know in the beginning the budget can be tight for people getting started so be sure to spend your money wisely.

    Next, you Simply Measure or Twitonomy to find out what the user engagement is for that user account. What do I mean how many people are actually interacting on the sponsored tweeters account. The person can have 100,000 twitter followers but have NO engagement and people don’t link or “retweet” their Tweets. That means no one is taking advantage of your tweet and not talking about it within social circles.
