Every small business knows that social media is an essential part of the modern communications landscape, but it can just be so time consuming that you don’t make the most of it.
That’s a shame, because if you can amass an army of followers, likes and retweets then there is a world of business that you can drive to your blog, convert into subscribers and then sell to with an email. It’s a carefully crafted and wonderful sales funnel that gives you access to the whole world, or your local area, for almost no investment – except the time it takes to do it.
Well, help is at hand, in the shape of two automated tools that can take your Twitter growth and your output entirely off your hands. This is true social media strategy and marketing automation in action.
1.SocialQuant
There is a free 14-day trial and after that there is a monthly charge – but it’s worth it. Instead of sitting and spending hours clicking on other people’s links, you can just give Social Quant your keywords and leave it to it. The web-based software adds an incredible number of relevant, engaged followers and will even help you hone your keywords and make sure that you are getting the biggest bang for your buck.
2.Tweet Jukebox
What a lifesaver – simply load up 100 tweets, put them on auto repeat, set the intervals and forget about it. Of course, you can tweet about new blog posts, and add them to your tweet roll as you go, but this one piece of web-based software means your social media marketing will simply never run dry.
You won’t forget your Twitter, you’ll stay active and your new followers, brought in by Social Quant, will see your new material.
The best part is that it is free. There are paid options, but you really don’t need them and Tweet Jukebox will even tweet out a thanks to your biggest interactors, so you’ll look active even when you aren’t.
There are lots of other tools, but if your Twitter account is covered in dust and simply not doing the business, these two tools will change your social media world and help you make the most of a massive resource and boost your inbound marketing.
