HOW TO: Network for Maximum Success on Twitter with Twitter Marketing Software

I have used hundreds of Twitter Tools and TweetAdder is by far the most powerful marketing software I have encountered!

For that reason I have developed this guide to explain how different features make TweetAdder powerful, and how to use these powerful features for the maximum effect.

If you want to see a video that explains some of the core network building features of TweetAdder check out my TweetAdder video review.

For a comprehensive look at the most powerful features of this marketing software then give this guide a read.

Overview Screen

tweetadder-account-overview

The overview screen allows you to monitor the status and activities of all of your account from one convenient table.

You can turn each account on or off by clicking on the account, and selecting the on/off button.  This is especially useful if you wish to pause updates to an account, or if you are managing an account from a different computer.

The user icons on the far left show which accounts are logged in, and which ones are logged off or turned off.

To open a user to manage, you can either double click on the row, or select a row and click the "Open User" button.

TweetAdder Functions

tweetadder-sidebar

The TweetAdder sidebar is broken down into six components, five are shown to the left because they are the only five that really matter.

Search Users to Follow is the menu where you can find users to follow based on several different criteria.

As you use the different features for searching for users within this menu you build out a "To Follow List" which you can then get TweetAdder to slowly crawl through and follow the users that are on it.

The most powerful methods for finding users to connect with are listed below in order of most powerful to least.

No matter which method of connection building you use try to manually screen the people you follow if possible so that you can pull out people who are inactive, or irrelevant to you.

Profile Data Search

This a very useful tool for finding more targeted followers.  I build most of my connections via Profile Data searches because I can narrow my search to people who have interests that are relevant enough to them that they list these keywords in their bio.

tweetadder-profile-data-bio-search

Following Everyone Followed by or Following of a User

tweetadder-follow-kevinrose-following

This is a really cool feature that adds all the followers of a particular user to your 'To Follow' list. You go and find a competitor in your niche and start following their followers in the hopes that they'll follow you back.

A powerful way to use this feature is to use people who are similar to you, but very selective about who they follow.  If you follow these people as well you initiate connections with people who are probably active (millions of Twitter users are inactive) and have a high likelihood of being influential.

Tweet Search

This a very useful tool for searching through all of the tweets containing your search term and location (optional).

What people tweet and what they're actually interested in can be a little bit different, so keep that in mind when using this feature.

Twitter tries to put a stop to this sort of thing and will now only produce 20 results at a time, so if you want to use this efficiently you will need to turn automation on let TweetAdder work its in the background.

tweet-search-automation

Following Everyone on a Twitter List

Tweetadder makes it easy to follow everyone on a Twitter list.  Just enter the username and the list name.

follow-twitter-lists

Following Twitter Users

After you've found people you want to follow and added them to your To Follow list, you then have the option to follow people as and when you please, or you can turn on the the automation and the program will automatically follow people for you.

Then all you have to do is to turn on the automation and leave it running on your computer and your job is done.

This sort of automation is not allowed by Twitter so Tweet Adder sets delays between each follow so that Twitter can't detect the automation.

You also have the option to limit the amount of users you follow each day and this is especially important when you get to 2000 followers as Twitter starts to put a stop to excessive following that's often used in Twitter marketing. Until you get to 2,000 followers Twitter will stop you from following more that 2k people, so at this point manual network building with tools like Manage Twitter will help to speed things along.

Once you break through the 2k threshold Twitter caps the number of people you can follow in a day at 1,000 people.

tweetadder-follow-users

Unfollowing Twitter Users

I don't use this feature of TweetAdder, although it is a smart option for anyone who wants to automate Twitter connection building.

I prefer to invest some time every day and use the Twitter Tool Manage Twitter because it offers more options for sorting those people who are not following me so that I can unfollow the most inactive people first.

Here is what the unfollow Twitter users screen looks like:

unfollow-users

Thank You Messages

Using this function allows you to automatically interact with your followers as soon as they follow you back, and this can be a powerful way to get onto the radar of new people in your network.

Many people abuse this feature, and for that reason I rarely check my dms.  I recommend that you avoid their mistakes and don't start off on the wrong foot by sending a shameless self-promoting message and link.

The right way to use this feature is by sending a message that introduces yourself and thanks them for connecting.

tweetadder-thank-you-dm

RSS Feed

Although I don't use this feature because I like to tweet everything manually I recognize its power for automating a stream of tweets to an account that you want to manage automatically.

If you are pressed for time to Tweet this tool could be a serious time saver.

Video Demo

I have also developed a video review of TweetAdder that you might find useful.

How to Draw People to Your Facebook Page Again and Again

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 09:43 AM PST

social media how to Are you looking for creative ways to bring people to your Facebook page?

Does your business use Facebook to connect with people?

Used the right way, Facebook apps can help you boost engagement and visibility by repeatedly drawing fans to your page.

In this article you'll learn how 6 types of Facebook apps keep your fans coming back to your Facebook page again and again.

#1: "Contact Us" Apps

The easier you make it for people to get in touch with you, the better. Use a contact app to let your fans/customers send email requests to specific departments within your company for more information.

For example, you can use an app to streamline the contact process and send fans straight to whoever handles sales, customer support or press inquiries, without them ever leaving your Facebook page.

att contact us app

In just one click, customers can reach the right department from your contact app.

In this image, AT&T allows fans to contact their entire customer service staff through a custom app.

Link to your contact app whenever someone comments on a post and asks for more information, and they can get the help they need right from your Facebook page.

#2: Event Apps

If you frequently host events, an event app lets you easily promote what's happening now and what you have going on down the road.

Facebook offers a default version of an events app within the status update box that you can use to create events, but you're limited to a generic look.

northstar events

Facebook's built-in Events app doesn't allow for much customization.

Here, Northstar California Resort uses the default Facebook Events app to inform fans of upcoming events.

Use a third-party provider's app to create events so you can customize the look of the event invite announcement to complement your Facebook page and/or website. This helps ensure that your fans/friends don't view the alert as spam.

dead letter circus event app

Dead Letter Circus used a third-party app for the release of their new album in August 2013. They allowed fans to sign up for exclusive video footage, music, news and other content for their event,

A third-party event app lets you customize the look of your event listing.

#3: Fan Reward Apps

When your fans are interested in your brand enough to like your page, rewarding them says you appreciate and value their attention.

It's easy to reward your loyal fans and customers with access to special deals with a Facebook Exclusive or Coupon app that keeps your brand top of mind.

This is especially helpful if you are an e-tailer. Link fans from the app to your website where they can buy the deal and the conversion process is simplified.

storm shelter release app

Exclusive offers can drive conversions, too.

GFS Storm Shelters offers an exclusive coupon to people who like their Facebook page.

Create offers regularly and your fans will get into the habit of checking your page to see if there are offers available only to them.

#4: RSS Feed Apps

Does your business have a blog? It's always smart to reach out to your fans/customers where they are, and installing an RSS feed app to bring your blog to your Facebook page is an easy way to do this.

After you install the RSS feed app, pin the RSS app to the top of your page to show off your latest content, then post status updates with a "Click here to see what's new" message that links to the RSS feed app.

hubspot rss app

This RSS feed app shares new jobs as they are added.

HubSpot lists available jobs through a custom RSS feed app.

With every RSS feed status update you post, your fans will click over to the app on your page to read the full article—a great way to boost page visits and keep your brand in fans' thoughts.

#5: Countdown Apps

If your company is close to hitting a milestone or goal, let your fans share in the excitement.

Build an app that lets them count down to the goal along with you, or create a calendar and allow people to vote on which day they think the goal will be met.

smith brothers countdown app

Apps can build anticipation for a popular product release.

Smith Brothers recently let their fans in on the countdown to eggnog being back for purchase on October 14.

Give your fans a way to participate in building the anticipation for a celebration or a special release and they'll keep returning to your page to make sure they don't miss anything.

#6: Giveaway and Contest Apps

Apps for hosting contests and giveaways are the most popular apps you'll find on Facebook.

And with good reason: promotions drive traffic and significantly increase engagement—but only if you do them right. Lots of factors go into running a successful contest, but there are three things you must do:

  • Follow Facebook's terms of service.
  • Keep the entrance requirements simple.
  • Offer a prize that's relevant to your business.

Everyone loves the chance to win something special and the process doesn't have to be elaborate. Build a giveaway app that invites fans to sign up for a chance to win a gift from your brand each month.

the marc giveaway app

Use a giveaway app to drive traffic to your Facebook page.

The Marc Restaurant offers an ongoing promotion for dinner for two on their Facebook page.

Photo contests are popular because people love taking, looking at and sharing photos. Build a photo contest app that lets fans upload their photos. As photos are added, open the voting and encourage those who entered to reach out to their friends to vote on their submission.

pit bulls contest app

Photo contests are perfect for increasing awareness of your page.

Pit Bulls and Parolees asks fans to submit photos of their pit bulls for a contest and offers extra points when participants include text that dispels pit bull myths and educates users.

It doesn't matter what type of contest you run. If the end goal of your contest is page visits, be sure to include a component—like monthly entries or a vote system—that nudges fans and their friends to return to your page and use your app more than once.

Conclusion

All of these apps can be built with most third-party app providers.

Using Facebook apps that provide customer service, share event details, offer news and include your fans in celebrations is a great way to enliven your Facebook page. Keep your apps updated consistently and your fans will keep coming back for more.
