Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

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

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

OK, but remember you want to create an account where you don't have 808 followers. The purpose of this twitter account is to have people find you with hash tag searches and to make you appear at the top of the public tweeter feed as much as possible. This should not be your business twitter feed.

Mine are twitter.com/DerBayz for business and twitter.com/DerBayzVintage for hash tag searches.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I believe that LE will agree that if you are looking for views, the system works. Both of us have been getting daily sales, whether that would have happened anyways, I can't honestly say, but it is a great way to get exposure for your shop.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Hafsa, take a look at mine:

twitter.com/DerBayzVintage

I hash tags words in the titles that are relevant to the product. When it comes to pictures, that is what you should do. If you are going to use Tweet Addr, Chris (the guy from Fiverr, with make them hashtag rich with key hash tags.

And remember the that the software only runs when the computer is on and the application is running. I minimize mine and ignore it. There are no performance issues.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I installed Tweet Eye and scheduled some tweets, but none of them seem to be appearing in my feed. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Maybe, are you remove the end of the link to the ?ref and removing the s from https? Did you go to the schedule tab and enable the item to post?

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I did both. Tweet Eye had all the necessary permissions through AVG and my firewall software too. I even tried disabling them briefly to see if that was the problem and it wasn't.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I am wondering, if this is actually ok with twitter? Are there any rules regarding a thing like this?

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Aisha,

Twitter does not object to Automated Tweets unless they violate some other of their policies. They do object to Automated Retweets.

Mary that is the beauty you don't have to communicate set it and let it run.

LE are your descriptions too long? 140 characters with the link. Try some short and try to get it to post. If you can't get it working, we can do a remote session and take a look. Are you minimizing the program or closing it?

Thanks Glenn!! It is good to be aware of the rules :)

I see it is also possible to do this with the blog, so I am going to try to add my blog to it as well.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

So, I downloaded tweeteye, but I can't seem to be able to copy and paste the link of pictures. I watched the video you posted in the first post but it does not help me much. I am not sure what to do next.

I cannot use Tweeteye as my operating system is Linux and the program to be downloaded is an .exe which needs to be run in a windows environment. Dang!

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

Well, the link does not look like the type of link you posted in the first post Adele.

This is the link: https://img1.etsystatic.com/035/0/8188727/il_570xN.607573461_mvre.jpg

I think this is because it is a link from my blog, and not from Etsy.

I have tried it also with the S removed, but it does not respond at all. I have now dragged the link to the space where it has to go, but then I can't push the search button :S It is like the program does not respond at all.

Re: Increase Views and Hopefully Sales with Twitter Automation!

I am sorry for the spam! But I think it does not work because it is a link of a picture on the blog. I found out now how to do this via Etsy, so there is no problem. I will just keep doing what you started Adele!

I can't get the photos to work. I can tweet if I don't mark the include picture but tweet eye don't post my tweets if I mark include picture.

Anyone who has the same problem or know the solution?
