In this lesson, we are going to go over some tools that you can use to make your Twitter page more interactive and successful.
Twitter keeps people connected at all times. Some people send tweets regularly (every day) and others only a few times a week. Since you are planning on using Twitter to build your maven business the latter is the best option for you.
Future Tweets
It only takes a few minutes to set up and you can use to automatically post your prepared tweets.
It is very important that you don’t use this tool to auto spam your account with worthless information and constant offers.
A proper way to use this tool would be to remind your followers of upcoming seminars or events, or to drip-feed your content to help build a buzz.
Twitpic
When you make new contacts there may come a time when you want to share some of your pictures with them so that they can get to know you and your business better.
Once you’ve created your Twitpic account you can upload your pictures and quickly post them on Twitter. Another great thing about this tool is that it is also compatible with mobile devices which make it easier to share pictures from your mobile device.
Twollo
Find people you want to follow. Just type in the subject or topic that interests you and the tool will find people who are talking about the same thing and automatically follows them for you.
http://www.twittollower.us also allows you to build your own Twitter list by automatically connecting with the followers of other Twitters of that niche.
Tweepler
Find out who you are following that isn’t following you back. All you have to do is type in your Twitter username and password and it will give you detailed list of who is following you and who you are following. It also has a very nice point and click interface, so that you can quickly sort through your peeps.
If you are using WordPress for your blog, there are quite a few tools that you can use to automate your Twitter activities from inside your dashboard including:
TweetThis plug-in
It will encourage your visitors to tweet your blog post. TweetThis also adds a Twitter link in every blog post you create plus gives you the ability to shorten your blog post URL to fit the 140-character limit.
TweetMeme button
Helps other people to easily retweet your post on Twitter and it also shows a count of how many times your blog post has been retweeted.
Twitter Tools
This plug-in integrates your blog with Twitter by pulling all your tweets into the side bar of your blog. You can also use it to post new tweets from inside your WordPress blog.
You can find these and a whole slew of other tools specifically for wordpress by doing a search for “ Twitter WordPress plug-in”
