Twittergrader has many great features you are sure to enjoy. Check your score and compare with your friends to see who has the best score. Check to see who are the top 100 people on twitter from the Twitter elite option. Search for people in your niche or any topic for that matter.

Tweetlater: Setup alerts, track keywords, schedule tweets, auto follow, auto messaging & more.



AUTOMATION & KEywORD TRACKING



The tool of choice used by many “lazy” Twitter users is tweetlater.

www.tweetlater.com has the following options:

* Auto follow people when they follow you.* Send a welcome message to new followers.* Send out scheduled tweets.* Keyword tracking & alerts.* RSS feed.* Multiple accounts.



Using Tweetlater:

Tweetlater has a very easy to follow tutorial for setting up your account.



Auto-Follow: Set up your auto follow message for your new followers to receive. This is the message your new followers will receive when they start to follow you. Inserting your URL in the message is optional. Note: Use http:// when inserting your URL, this message can only be 120 characters in length. Use keywords in your niche to attract people to visit your website. Check the auto welcome box (send private direct message).

Click here to set up Twitter Account Automation

when inserting yourmessage, be sure to include your URLBe sure to check our http://www.alssecret.com



Scheduled Tweets: From the main page click on the “manage my scheduled tweets” option and then click on the add tweet button. Only Tweet your URL once per hour.



Keyword Tracking: This can be used to locate other people that may be looking for what you have to offer. Think out side the box to come up with the words that will help you the most. We like to use this to track quotes by typing in the author as the keyword.



EasyTweets: An almost perfect web-based twitter management tool. www.easytweets.com



You can have up to three accounts with easytweets. From the main page you can view all your accounts. Send out a tweet, check your @replies, view your latest tweets you sent out and pause your account.

At anytime you may select the dashboard option and return to the main screen. From the dash-board select the user account you want and check your messages. You can send your replies and re-tweets from one screen. The great thing about easytweets is that you can also send all your messages in real time or set them up for scheduled tweets.

From the @replies you will be able to select reply or r/t. Once you have your tweet ready to go you can send your reply in real time by selecting add tweet. If you insert a URL in your tweet you have the option to click the “shorten URL”. This fuction works the same for the r/t, @replies, and direct messages..



Twitter Karma: An application to bulk unfollow people.

www.dossy.org/twitter/karma is an application used to un-follow.

Once you are at the website click on the WHACK button.

You will be asked to enter your Twitter username and password.



Select the ok option and wait until the photo’s download, this could take awhile de-pending how many photo’s have to download. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes per 1000 followers.



Once the photo’s are done loading, just select the drop down box (only following). This will load the photo’s of the people you are following and are not following you back.



Now you will have two options to choose from.

Option One: Scroll to the bottom of the page and select all. Next select bulk un-follow. This may or may not work. To confirm if this works you may have to wait a few minutes and check if the number of people you are following has decreased. For some this works fine and for others they have to use the second option.

Option Two: Start at the top of the page and put a check mark in each box one at a time. Only check about 100 at a time and go to the bottom of the page and click bulk un-follow.

NOTE: Go to your Twitter page and click the refresh on your browser and confirm that the people you are following are decreasing. Remember where you left off on dossy and repeat the process until you are done.



Do’s and Dont’s: Twitter Etiquette

Put these do’s and don’t to work, and you’ll find that Twitter is easier, more fun, and more rewarding.

Hashtags: You can highlight words with a # to mark them as searchable keywords.

Track words and phrases: Twitter allows you to track words and phrases much like Google Alerts, so you’ll get a notification any time your search term comes up on Twitter. Don’t send useless tweets: Although it’s tempting to say it, none of your followers really want to check Twitter updates just to see that you’ve said, “Good morning, Twitter!”

Choose your avatar wisely: Your Twitter avatar will follow you around, so make sure that the one you choose has an impact.

Keep up with the Twitter blog: You can find out the latest and greatest news and developments on Twitter by simply reading the Twitter blog. It may also be useful to read the Twitter archives.

Don’t over do it: Your followers don’t want to read useless tweets all the time, so take it easy.

Practice balanced linking: Make sure that not all of the links you tweet about are yours-promote others as well.

Promote your Twitter following outside of the service: Add your Twitter address to your email signature, profiles, and business cards to let people know you’re out there.

Be active: Join conversations, share links, and ideas to be an active Twitter user.



Follow Twitter grammar rules: Avoid irritating abbreviations, but make use of shorthand symbols.

Keep your tweets in balance: Don’t reply too much and add noise to the Twittersphere, but avoid not replying enough, which can make you miss out on interaction.

Don’t spam: Avoid sending too many messages about your blog posts and events, and focus on informa-tion that your followers want to hear about.

Make use of direct messages: Keep your Twitter noise down by sending messages directly to followers.

Ask questions: Ask your followers for advice on Twitter, and you’ll get a lot of helpful responses.

RSS Feed:

RSS(Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content.

www.pingomatic.com is a great place to send your Twitter RSS Feed.

• From your Twitter page click on your profile at the top of the page. • Scroll down the right side of your page. Look under the people you follow you will see the

RSS Feed. • After you click on the RSS Feed, go up to the top of the screen and copy the address in the

web brower. Go to pingomatic’s website and fill in the three open boxes. 1.Blog Name: Type in your name here. 2.Blog Home Page: Type in your blog or website address here. 3.RSS URL: Paste the URL from your Twitter RSS Feed in this box.
