I stumbled across some really cool features for twitter today which I will be writing about over the next few days. Some of these new features are going to great ways to increase traffic to your real estate blogs & real estate websites.
The first that I wanted to share though was probably one of the coolest fea
tures. It is called Tweet Later. What this cool application allows is for you to send an automatic response to every person who follows you on Twitter. You can make the response anything you want up to 120 characters.
For me, I made my auto response this:
Thanks for following me! If you know anyone looking to buy or sell real estate, send them here: http://budurl.com/8v7u
The mini link is to my outside blog, to help drive traffic to it. Also, it is reminding everyone who follows me on twitter that I am a real estate agent and can help anyone looking to buy or sell real estate, no matter where they live!
Setting up the application on Tweet Later does take a little bit of time, but if you follow the steps, it isn't all that difficult. The one part that I found confusing is where it talks about setting up rules for your email.
Since I use Microsoft Outlook, let me share how I set it up.
In Microsoft Outlook, click on the tools tab at the top and select Rules and Alerts. Make sure you are in the mail portion of outlook and not contacts or calendar. Then click on New Rule. After clicking New Rule, select Start from blank rule & also Check messages when they arrive. Click Next.
On the next screen you are now going to choose your rules. The reason you are setting these rules up is to get the alert from twitter of a new follower sent onto tweet later to notify of a new follower and to send your auto message.
The first rule you need to set is From People or Distribution list. Then edit this rule to be any email from the twitter.com address that you receive the alerts from twitter. Copy this email address into the box and click OK The second rule you need to set up is to just send the new follower emails. If you don't do the second, the auto email will go to any and everyone that uses twitter to contact you and would be annoying.
To set up the second rule, click on with specific words in the subject. Edit the words to be is now following you on twitter. Click OK and then Finish. Now your rules are set and will begin sending.
This is just another simple and easy way to promote your Blog to consumers! If you arent already following me on Twitter follow me @myrtlebeachblog!
