Make Money with Twitter Part 2

This Second Part of Make Money with Twitter deals with Automation, while the First Part took care of Customization of our Twitter Account.

Twitter Automation 1: Auto-responder

How about an Auto-responder which automatically sends a welcome message to all your new follower?

Let’s set it up with TweetLater. Join TweetLater, it’s a free program. Set up your account and enter your Twitter Accounts. You may just copy my setup:

To Make Money with Twitter, you need to associate a commercial link to this Tweet, for example an affiliate link, or a link to a product page.

For the purpose of the exercise I use the following Message:

Twitter Automation 2: Twitter Blaster Mail Automation

The Twitter Blaster Script I am using on Social Network Publishing is ideal for receiving keyword related Digests. Such Digests can be received every 4, 12 or 24 hours.

Onder other tools on TweetLater you find a Digest Mailing function. Use the keyword Wizard to create the keyword(s) of your digest and select the interval.

Make sure to change your TweetLater email address to the email address you use on the Twitter Blaster. Here below the settings on TweetLater and Twitter Blaster:

TwitterAutomation 3: Autofollow People on Twitter

Twitter is cleaning out by discontinuing its own autofollow feature and maybe also by sanctioning people using automated following with tools such as Twollo. Autofollow tools are considered “disingenuous”. So, don’t use those tools.

We will not enter any further into this topic here but we will explain how you can automate relation building further at the Ycademy Online Seminar this week-end.

For the record, here below the wording of Biz Stone’s mail to Autofollow users:

Hi There,

I’m contacting you because you have a Twitter account for which
we enabled something called “autofollow.” This is not a public
feature, it’s something we did for a limited set of accounts
such that they automatically follow any account that follows
them.

We’re going to discontinue autofollow because this behavior
sends the wrong message. Namely, it is unlikely that anyone can
actually read tweets from thousands of accounts which makes
this activity disingenuous.

However, we understand that there may be exceptions such as
applications built using our API or the ability to exchange
direct messages. There are also some who think it’s simply
polite to follow back other accounts.

While we’re going to stop supporting autofollow, we’d like to
find a way to support the other goals folks are really trying
to accomplish. Please feel free to reply to this email and let
us know how we can do this better together.

Thanks,
Biz Stone, Co-founder
Twitter, Inc.
