Twitter is not about how many followers you have, but being found in keyword and relevant hash tag searches for what you promote. You need to do this daily 24/7 if you want the benefit of being noticed across many international time zones.

The best way to do this without annoying uninterested followers is to have a Twitter account with hardly any followers, and to loop hundreds of hash tagged messages daily. Twitter best practice, advises no more than 1000 messages a day, so there is plenty of scope to send out loads of Tweets daily. So the first step is to create a new Twitter Account, following a minimal amount of people.

I have found two pieces of software when used together with this new Twitter Account that can drive 100’s if not 1,000’s of visitors to your site every day.

Tweet Eye is the first.

The potential of sharing photos of your product on Twitter with such a large network of people searching for what you sell is huge, however Tweets appear at the top of Twitter searches for only a brief moment in time and are quickly replaced by others.

People on average only use Social Media 37 minutes a day. People login at different times of day and night from different time zones. Tweets are gone in a Blink. Frequently scheduling your photo tweets gives you more opportunity to be seen.

I discovered an application called Tweet Eye http://tweet-eye.com/Tweet_My_Website.htm which is free and works great!

Tweet Eye instructions are available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w25ILX_a4Lg, but I will add that you need to edit your URL to have it work properly. Remove the “s” from https and drop ?ref to end of the url for example:

ht tps://www.etsy.com/listing/179239353/1977-vintage-montmartre-girl-framed?ref=shop_home_feat_1

becomes

ht tp://www.etsy.com/listing/179239353/1977-vintage-montmartre-girl-framed

The second piece of software is Tweet Adder. Tweet Adder is the perfect tool (it costs $55 to associate one twitter account to your tweets), but you do need to set up your own Tweets or you can pay $5.00 to have them created for you (see below).
You can download this program using this link:

http://www.tweetadder.com/idevaffiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=21233

There is a free trial for 7 days or 250 tweets, if you want to test it first.

The Twitter algorithms do not allow for duplicate Tweets, so any Tweets that you create and import into Tweet Adder must all be unique for Twitter to allow them to be Tweeted out and to give your business the maximum exposure. Which is why I would recommend that you purchase this gig on Fiverr to get the most benefit out of the software:

First join Fiverr if you have not already, then use this link to find the gig:

http://www.fiverr.com/cfabs2business/create-1000-unique-tweets-to-import-into-tweet-adder

You can loop those 1,000 tweets, if you limit your tweets in Tweet Adder to 300 per day (which is plenty with the photos tweets which are also running in Tweet Eye. Then you will have 3+ days of unique tweets before it loops back to the beginning.

The next step is to synchronize your tweets with Facebook pages, by using the #fb on the end of your Tweets (not all of them, random ones, lets not over do it, then visit

https://apps.facebook.com/selectivetwitter

and setup your account. Any time you tweet using #fb, it will automatically post to your Facebook page.

Once you have that setup, you can then create an rss feed for your facebook using http://fbrss.com/. Once you have the rss feed you can go to https://app.dlvr.it/ and add the new Facebook RSS and link it to the following social media accounts (you can use one or all):

Free Account:
Linked In Personal Page
Tumbler
StatusNet
Delicious
App.Net

Premium Account:
Google+
Linked In Business Page
StockTwits

So you can easily manage all of your social media accounts and automate posting so you can get back to creating/picking your new item!

If you have any questions, post them below, I will do my best to help you. :D

Adele, I am up and running on Twitter. One question for now, more probably later :)
~Do you put any restrictions on your account page as to who can follow you or tweet you?
Thanks again. Retweeted some of your shop's items.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I'm starting to get a little bit closer to no problem with tweet eye. I can now post pictures when I press tweet, but not when I press add schedule. At least I'm getting closer haha.

I completely understand the system now Adele, and I can now schedule the tweets myself. So if you wish to delete the schedules from my shop in your tweet eye, it will be no problem!

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I have a question again :p

I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning the tweets I scheduled yesterday where not active. Could it be that it only works if I keep the program open in the background? Or do I have to activate the scheduled tweets every day?

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

You have to keep the program open and minimized. You can't close the program or shut down the computer.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Adele,

My copy seems to close when I minimize it.

Also, while it seems I have a Tweet scheduled (because it says added) nothing is running.

What could I be missing?

Thanks.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Glen, I can't minimize either; I get a tweet eye icon in my process bar that cannot be opened or shut. And then my screen freezes and I have to restart the whole shebang.

I DO close the computer at night or when I leave - and then they start as soon as everything gets rolling again. Even with this, I am still getting 1-2000 views in a 24 hour period.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Hello!
So I downloaded TweetEye, but can't seem to be able to keep it open once minimized or connected to my Twitter account, I have to link it every time I open it, is that normal?
Also, cannot use the mouse to paste the URL, but Ctrl V does paste it, although when I schedule it or tweet it nothing happens. Not sure what I am doing wrong. If anybody knows, let me know lol. I am following the instructions in the video and Adele's tips to remove the s and the ref?..but nothing is happening although I do see the five listings Adele set up for me in my Twitter feed.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

If you minimize the application, you have to right click on the tweet eye icon next to your date/time. Select SHOW, it will open.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Ok my friends, I need your help please (you didn't expect plain sailing from me now, did you? :D ): I've downloaded Tweet Eye. For the life of me, I can't link it to my Twitter account, the one that Adele created for me where the 5 items are happily tweeting away. I can see on the home page of Tweet Eye that Adele posted in the OP that Step One says to enter the authorisation PIN. Where do I find that PIN? Thank you!

The pin you should get as soon as you log in via tweet eye. Maybe this helps Val;

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Adele - OK, now I have that. I needed to unpin Tweet Eye from my Task Bar to have the little icon show when minimized rather than Tweet Eye closing.

Now, I have two versions of Tweet Eye open each with an active schedule, but I am not seeing any Tweets showing in the GlensWorkshop Twitter account you opened. Tweet Eye is logged into that account.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Adele - I am somewhat on the same page as Glen. I have TweetEye somewhat working - It can see and select the picture in the "TweetPictures" tab. It will tweet if I click schedule, add the description and only click the "Include description" check box. And activate under Schedule.
After that I can see the tweet and if I click "View Photo" in twitter, it shows the right photo.
But, if I also select the "Include picture" check box - nothing get tweeted.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks, for your help

Manny

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

If you can't click description and picture, you are running Windows 7 and you need to right click and choose run as administrator.

Mugen congrats on the sale. You are going down the right road now. Have you added tweet adder?

To associate your twitter account open your default internet browser and log into the marketing twitter account. Now open tweet eye and go to the last tab and select add. It will open your browser asking for permission to give tweet eye permission to post. Select yes. It will give you an authorization code that you can enter into tweet eye.
