EtsySocial Retweet Test!!

[#1]

Team I am beyond excited for us to start testing our new auto-retweet app!!!

The set up for the test is very simple:

Step 1. Signed into your EtsySocial account: http://etsysocial.com
(if your account is not active, just let me know and I'll renew you)

Step 2. Set up the Auto-Retweet - follow this link: http://etsysocial.com/admin/retweet

Fill in:
1. Team's Twitter Username: etsymeetntweet
2. Team Retweet List: etsymntt
3. Team Hash Tag: #etsymntt

WHAT WE ARE TESTING FOR:
The main objective for this test is to determine if the app is behaving the way we need it to. ie is it...

1. posting a max of 10 retweets an hour to our Twitter accounts?
2. posting in a minimum of 5 min intervals?
3. only posting team # retweets from our Team Twitter List?
4. retweeting 1 team # tweet per member per hour?*
5. filtering out profanity (we don't need to test this one :D just know the developer is working on building a very long list of bad words!)

(* this rule is to protect us from having our hashtag abused...along with rule no. 2... the goal is that even if someone posted 5 #tweets in an hour only one would get retweeted.)

IMPORTANT Please Note: With this test you may or may not see an increase in your tweets being retweeted since we are using our main twitter lists of 223 members. We're testing with this list first so that the app has a large pool of retweets to pull from.

The next test we do will be with a new smaller list and then we will see ourselves being retweeted. Depending on this first test, we should be ready for the second test by the middle of the week! ...and maybe by this time next week, we will be implement Team wide and get this party started!!! (but we will talk about a new team hashtag before then).


So far for the test, I believe we have:

Hi Clarissa, I only have one day left on the Etsy social subscription. What should I do?

[ManAndStone]

Hi Team! Thank you all for checking in!

EtsySocial is ready to go! You can go in and renew from your dashboard! There are three options - monthly, quarterly and annually.

I will be making an announcement to the team shortly!

@Jan...no worries! thank you for the update!

[ManAndStone]

Also, here is the link if you don't see it in your dashboard:

http://etsysocial.com/admin/subscribe

there are three recurring options - $4.50 monthly, $10.50 quarterly and $30 annually.

Working on a team announcement w/ set up instructions! :D

[ManAndStone]

@Hema thank you for signing up!

The difference between EtsySocial & Twitter-fu for now...is that Twitter-fu automatically tweets your shop listings.

With EtsySocial you setup your tweets up in your dashboard but once you've done that, they are automatically tweeted hourly until you turn the feature off.

So you can use EtsySocial for your auto-tweeting as well as auto-retweeting with the team.

Here are the instructions again for getting set up:

Step 1. Signed into your EtsySocial account: etsysocial.com

Step 2. Set up the Auto-Retweet - follow this link: etsysocial.com/admin/retweet

Fill in:
1. Team's Twitter Username: etsymeetntweet
2. Team Retweet List: etsymntt
3. Team Hash Tag: #etsymntt

That is how you retweet the Team.

Once you've gotten set up let me know and I will add you to the Team's Twitter list.

Then to get retweeted just had #etsymntt to your twitter-fu or etsysocial auto-tweet.

Let me know if you need help with anything!

[BEADEDNECKLACESHOPPE]

Thanks for the help - I have set up the Auto Retweet.

[ManAndStone]

Thank you Hema! Just added you to our retweet twitter list!

[JKCPottery]

I don't think I am on the list. Could you please add me. Thanks!

[ManAndStone]

Hi Jeanette! Both shops are added now...thank you!!

[DoveJewelryDesign]

Popping in just to let you know I had a sale yesterday, the first in months though Twitter and an #etsymntt tweet. You can't always track your sales but this lady actually RTed my tweet with a comment then RTed again to say she bought it (after I Tweeted her back with a thank you for the compliment). Yay!!!

[PrayLoveYoga]

That's awesome Yona! Thank you for sharing that! And congraats! Here's to more to come!!! Yaaay!!! :D

[ImagineThatBaby]

Hi! This is new to me. What is etsysocial.com ?

[cardsbymormorjan]

Hi Clarissa, still getting a good number of visits no more sales as yet.
Can we add more tweets with the #etsymntt hashtag to our etsysocial account for auto tweeting now? Thanks for everything
Jan xx

[PrayLoveYoga]

Hi Marcia! I will post some info shortly!

Hi Jan! I'm glad you checked..Yes!....Team you want to have at least 24 recurring tweets so that you have 1 tweet posting per hour for a full day's worth #etsymntt tweets!

[SwirlingOrange11]

Clarissa, those 24 are thru Etsysocial? I don't think I have a full 24 listed ....
Hoping all who were in Irma's wake are safe along with their families!!!

Also, once this is off the ground as official, are we going to create a specific hashtag to identify which ones are auto retweets and to eliminate the many who are not team members but using the tag? Maybe we could even do this while you're testing to get a bird's eye view?

I am not online again until Tomorrow, got a full Monday ahead !!!! will check in tomorrow :)
