Ready for the next step. Hope you know your target, the topics you want to tweet and you are clear by now about the fact that your growth largely depends upon the quality of your content.
So lets go to google alertst You need to have a google account. If you don’t have one. Please get one now.
once done, go to accounts and look for alerts, the first one in the list.
Look at your little frame box Create an alert
Enter the topic you wish to monitor.
Search terms eg gardening
Type: eg comprehensive
How often eg as it happens
Deliver to: eg feed
Create alert (button)
Once the alert created, google brings you to the alerts table. You should have two or three. You can have more if you wish. Check out that they are well set up. You have an edit button at the end of each line. You need to receive them as feed, and not email. Then click on the topic of the alert eg., gardening and Google will open a page of all possible content for your gardening feed. Look at the browser and copy the link in the browser, then feed it to twitterfeed. Check that the link works before setting the feed (the term used is” parsed“). Choose the number of times per day you wish each feed to go to your twitter account. And there you are . Through Google your twitter account will be fed excellent content periodically.
However, stay on top, and try to tweet personally relevant things yourself. It will give a more personal feel to your account and will get you more genuine people.
Two ways I suggest you check on what is tweeted :
There is a wonderful program called Tweetdeck, that you have to download. The program is FREE. It generatesa page as large as your screen and is divided into columns. They include: your tweets, your friends tweets, your DMS, recommended twitterers, And it connects with Facebook. If you have an account you will have a facebook column.
This is the most practical app I have seen, because it is multi-tasking, allowing you to check answer, DM and so on. You can keep it on your screen as you work, It stays behind.. This allows you to visit once in a while. Very handy and keeps you posted!)
The other way is to rely on your email where you receive all the new twitterers. It is up to you to check in once in a while and anwer those that are more personally adressed.
Business use. You can use your twitterers as leads. keep the emails in a database!
To your success!
