10 Tweetlater Tactics to Make Your Twitter Life 100 Times More Productive

Being a fan of twitter and a gadget geek I have tried a fair few twitter tactics and table offerings over the last few months and one of my favourites is Tweetlater for several reasons. So, if you're looking for a reason to splash out on a twitter tool take a look at my list of twitter tactics you can apply by using tweetlater professional as part of your social media marketing campaign.

Here's my list of ten tweetlater twitter tactics to add a little productivity to your social media marketing campaign;

1.Automated follow back - this is a great time saver and allows you to concentrate your twitter tactics on adding value to your new twitter followers instead of spending the evening simply hitting the follow tab.

2.Automated welcome messaging to your new twitter followers - don't spam and don't sell but do add value and entertain and your new followers will thank you for it.

3.Filter out SPAM by keywords - no more FREE E-Books if you don't want them. Simply set your spam filter and that's the last you'll see of them.

4.Mute annoying twitter tweeters - without having to unfollow losing the potential leverage of their followers. Set your account to simply mute those tweeters you don't want to hear (don't try this one at home though!)

5.Unlimited twitter accounts - for those with a multiple twitter personality disorder this is a great tool and adds extra punch to your marketing power if managed effectively. This is gorilla marketing twitter style!

6.Automated unfollow for those who switch off from what you have to offer - this is essential if you want to gather a large twitter following and don't want to hit the twitter wall with too few followers and your account adding tweeters by the day.

7.Schedule tweets tool to be sent out at a later date - automated entertainment to keep you in control of your twitter activity and able to interact while in the background adding value to the twittersphere.

8.Bit.ly shortening on all your links to keep those links intact and allow you to track your twitter followers activity. Tracking is the key to success in internet marketing and is an absolute requirement if you're serious about social media marketing.

9.Inbox management on autopilot - set your account to delete DM (direct messages) every week, 10 days or on a monthly basis to keep your inbox clutter free on autopilot.

10.Keyword tracking - set alerts to follow and search specific keywords. This tool allows you to listen to what is being said about your brand or to follow a specific twitter conversation on autopilot.

Twitter is a modern marketing powerhouse if used correctly and tweetlater is a good addition to the growing list of twitter productivity tools but remember one thing; tweetlater is simply a tool to help you do better what you already do well. Don't misuse it, don't allow it to take the place of good old fashioned interaction and don't forget to add value even on autopilot or people will soon switch off and you'll join the other twitter lepers down at the spam colony.

How I Got My First 2000 Twitter Followers, in Just 3 Days!

Twitter.com is a mini-social network where you can keep in touch with your followers constantly.

To get the ball rolling, I went to Twitter and set up an account.

Making a good bio is important, it should be catchy, mysterious and inviting. Your bio is your first introduction to others and you want them to find you interesting.

Here is my bio:

---------------

Fireman Joe, skier, Husband, Father of 2, Online business Owner, Killer 4-squares player, Poker Loser, Affiliate Manager since 1996. Adreporting.com

---------------

I get replies from people asking what 4-squares is..

The point is, list your hobbies, your work, make it catchy, and people will want to follow you.

Background design is important. You can have one designed for a fee, or use any of the ones supplied by Twitter, but at least do change it, do not use the default one.

Next, you need to find some followers. These are the people you will send tweets (messages) to.

The best way to do that, is to begin following others because once you follow others, if they like your bio, they will follow you back. The whole concept is based on mutual exchange.

You could just follow anyone, but it is best to find like minded individuals, others with interests aligned with yours to follow, as they will be more responsive to your tweets.

To find others with similar interests, I used the Twitter search tool found here. http://search.twitter.com/

I clicked on Advanced and typed in my keywords.

Your keywords might be gardening, bungee, internet marketing or scuba but what ever it is, it will find others, who have used those words in their bios or tweets, and you can click them and follow them. The next important thing is to also follow their followers. Let me explain..

I did a search for 'Lakers Basketball'. I breezed through a few results and found 'sbnbasketball'� is a user who posts a fair bit about basketball. I noticed he has 500+ followers.

I clicked his followers list and began following them also. I did this, because 'sbnbasketball'� has done the work of finding individuals interested in basketball for me. They already follow 'sbnbasketball'� and 'sbnbasketball'� tweets about b-ball. Makes sense to follow his followers.

Repeat this process a few times and in no time, you will be following 1000 users, which is a Twitter limit, until the followers catch up. You will see your Twitter following begin to explode.
