Recently I’ve posted several methods of [intlink id="adding-extra-bit-marketing-twitter" type="post"]marketing yourself[/intlink] and/or your band with the aid of Twitter, now I’m bringing you another method which involves a very handy Twitter Tool called Tweetons.

Once you log in to Tweetons via Twitter OAuth you will be able to set up your campaigns which once done are all automated, you can then just sit back and wait for the word to be spread about your business.

There are two type of campaigns available sweepstakes and instant.

Sweepstakes

These are ideal if you are running a competition via Twitter and would like to spread the word out, with this option when your chosen tweet is found by Tweetons the Tweeters goes into the running for the prize, you have several options to configure such as end date of the sweepstakes as well as some optional settings such as only a follower can win the competition.

This is an ideal way of getting the word out, you could use a HashTag in the tweet to promote you business via the competition.

Instant Reward

This is a handy option for getting the word out about your business to loads more tweeters, such as when someone ReTweets one of your tweets, you can thank them with a reply on Twitter, add your HashTag or web address and this will help promote you out to more possible followers and visitors to your website.

Again there are settings as with the Sweepstakes, my recommendation would be not to tweet everyone that ReTweets you, edit the optional settings so that you only RT those with over a set amount of followers of your choice, maybe 3,000 upwards, that way you’re not going to be spamming everyone on Twitter

Reaching Out

I’ve experimented with Tweetons and from the small stats that I have tested it on it have been quite interesting as you can see from them below

So handy at reaching out to other Tweeters and the possibility of spreading the word, ok they aren’t all going to falling over themselves to follower or visit, but every little helps in promoting your business out to the masses of Twitter users.

If you are thinking of running a Twitter competition to promote your business or just want to promote yourself via some friendly thanks to fellow Tweeters, then consider this handy Twitter Tool

You may of read a post I wrote about [intlink id="marketing-brand-blazing-minds" type="post"]branding the Blazing Minds name[/intlink] and how I have used Twitter @ Anywhere to add the Blazing Minds name on Twitter.

I have added the code to my blog for Twitter @ Anywhere by hand and though it is rather easy to do, sometimes there comes a time when you may want a little more, so along comes Twitter @ Anywhere Plus.

This handy WordPress Plugin allows me to not only add the hover boxes, but also a Tweet Box (standard and custom), auto link of Twitter names, custom follow button and a tasty Twitter ReTweet button that opens up an on-screen overlayed Tweet Box for the ReTweet text, which can be customised as well.

And all this can be set up from your WordPress Admin panel, no coding required, you will have to get yourself a Twitter @ Anywhere API key, which is thankfully free.

So now if you want to add a little extra marketing to your blog, then by using Twitter @ Anywhere Plus you can by having your name mentioned in tweets in the “via..” link in Twitter.

If you are not to sure about editing your themes files and want an easy way to add Twitter @ Anywhere to your blog, then is certainly the WordPress Plugin to go for, simple easy and quick, what else could you ask for

So, you may have noticed that a couple of days ago I added a new widget into my blogs sidebar, if you didn’t then let me tell you about it a little more..

The widget is called “TweetRoll” and can be found on the website TweetBurn, it a handy widget that you can add to your blog/website that display not only your SponsoredTweets button but also show your twitter followers and a “follow me on twitter” link, which is very important to all us Twiter users
