using SocialOomph.com A Step-By-Step Twitter Tutorial
If you follow @BarackObama on Twitter, you probably know the following 2 things: 1) he doesn't tweet that much, and 2) moments after you follow Obama on Twitter, he follows you back. How did the the Obama campaign do this? Do they have a dedicated staff person managing his Twitter account 24-7, or is it automated? Honestly, we don't know the answer, but there is a way to auto follow your followers on Twitter. This auto follow Twitter trick (try saying that 5 times in a row) can be pretty useful if you find yourself managing a Twitter account for a public figure, company or celebrity. Automatically following people who follow you will save you a ton of time and allow your Friends list to basically build itself. In this tutorial we will be using an awesome service called SocialOomph.com. Let's begin.
01) Douche Test Do you consider yourself a social media marketing guru because you hang out on Facebook and Twitter all day? Is your sole goal on Twitter to gain followers? Are you a douche bag? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then please leave this page now. So called social media experts are the cancer of Twitter. The information in this Auto Follow tutorial should not be used to spread fake guru Twitter cancer.
02) Configure Your Twitter Account Sign in to Twitter and click on the Settings link at the top of the page. If you don't know what Twitter is, then go read this article: How To Explain Twitter to Your Grandma.
03) Type In Your Email Address Type in your email address and save your settings.
04) Enable "New Follower Emails" (optional) Want to know when you get a surge in followers? Click on the Notices tab. Make sure the New Follower Emails option is turned on. You will now get an email when someone new follows you on Twitter. Click Save.
05) Sign up for SocialOomph.com Go to http://www.socialoomph.com and sign up for an account. Don't worry. It's free you cheap wad. Scroll down their homepage until you see a "Register" button and click on it. You will have to fill out some basic info such as username, email, password, etc.
06) Sign in to socialoomph.com After you've successfully registered with socialoomph.com, you need to sign in.
07) Link Your Twitter Account to Your SocialOomph.com Account Click on the Accounts tab. Then click on the Add Twitter Account button.
SocialOomph.com will now ask you some information about your Twitter account. You must know the following in order to fill out this screen properly.
You can also send an automated welcome greeting to new Twitter followers or even post a public welcome Tweet in your timeline. We'd advise against both. Automated generic messages smell like the inside of a Tauntaun and scream "Hi I'm abusing Twitter to promote my lame company/product. Want some Tweet Spam!!!" Not the way you want to welcome a new Twitter follower. 09) Enable Auto Follow Option Towards the bottom of the screen, you'll see 2 checkboxes: Auto Follow and @Replies Digest. Considering that you are reading this tutorial in the first place, you probably want to turn on the Auto Follow option.
We also recommend turning on @Replies Digest and setting it for once a day. This will send you an email with any replies from your followers. If you are managing a corporate or public figure's Twitter account, then it's a good idea to see what people are saying about your client anyway. Click Save.
Let's test it out. Call a friend with a Twitter account. You should both unfollow each other. Ask your friend to re-follow you. After a few moments, your auto follow system should kick in and automatically follow you again. To see if you are both following each other, go to Twitter Karma and take a look. If you see a mutual follow icon, then it worked!! If you have more questions, please check out the great FAQ posted on SocialOomph.com. And while you are still in a good mood, feel free to follow us on twitter.com/methodshop.
