Marketing on twitter
Posted By admin on November 29, 2011
Hi all, I have discovered a great little tool here for you.
Have you ever wished to automatically follow all your competitors followers, or follow all the users from your keyword search? Well please let me introduce to you TweetAttacks 2.
TweetAttacks 2 allows you to do all of the above plus much more, including direct messaging, unfollowing, scheduled twittering across multiple accounts and replying to twitter keywords posted by others (which I’m hoping is a game changer for me.) all with no limits of the api.
I’ve been concentrating on Planet Cracker 2 for Windows Phone 7, a restricted market however i have observed an excellent response since I have started using this system.
I have updated both my twitter icon and profile to advertise Planet Cracker so that each potential customer that I follow via TA, gets a quick blast of information and the links for the promoted app.
In a hope to boost my twitter followers I’ve been concentrating on following users which are following relevant topics or other users. I started targeting user accounts linked to the app I’m promoting, Eg windows phone 7 game websites such a bestwp7games. This ensures, well at lease has a greater probability, that your target users are interested in windows Phone 7 games. Considerably more effective than blindly firing off follow requests to each and every Tom, Dick and Harry. I’ve even targeted games journalists when releasing a game or issuing press releases.
TA let’s you run your twitter promotions across an unlimited number of accounts, the free version however is limited to only five accounts.
Twitter has a following limit of 2000, after which their followed to following allowed ratio cuts in. The free version incorporates a five account limit, which means you have a limit of 10000(+ follow ratio) users. The full version doesn’t have such limit.
There are several tools within TA that will assist you manage the amount of followers that you have accumulated.
The unfollow option, can help you mange your 2000 limit and also the subsequent ratio constraint by unfollowing any users that you’ve followed. The age of the users that you unfollow can be set in the settings area, the default is two days. One thing to note is that users who’ve followed you back are protected, as they have shown some interest in you or your product.
Task types in TA cover: follow other users followers, follow other users following, follow from a list, unfollow and follow from keyword search.
TA is not speedy by default, each follow and task will experience a delay so that your account or connection will not be block by twitter. This is because of the settings and they can be changed to help speed things up however you run the risk of being blocked. It is possible to work from behind proxies and remove the delay entirely, I haven’t as yet done this as the speed for me is okay when reduced by a few seconds.
After separating the wheat from the chaff, by unfollowing the ones that do not follow back, I ought to have a fantastic set of followers from using TweetAttacks, and hopefully they will be interested enough in my future apps to buy one or two.
TweetAttacks for me is working a treat or should I say tweet. I have not as yet investigated all the additional options for instance replying to users messages, direct messaging etc, I’ll let your know how it all ends up, however i must say I’m quite excited in what this tool can do for me.
