I know we all like to focus on Twitter because of its
simplicity. However, it is important to use Twitter in
combination with other social networking sites. You want to
be able to connect with your Twitter friends should
something bad happen and the site go down, right? Here are
three sites that you can use in conjunction with Twitter to
market your business.

1. Twitter + Utterli = Stay connected with your tweeps
when you are away from a computer.

Utterli is an utterly awesome tool in my opinion. You don’t
have to have fancy equipment to post to Twitter if you have
utterli. Utterli has a feature that allows you to record
audio posts right from your phone. This can come in really
handy if you are attending a tweetup and you want to let
your tweeps know that you are at the designated location.
Utterli also cross posts to a lot of different networks too.
The neat thing about utterli’s cross posting feature is your
friends don’t even have to join utterli for you to talk to
them. It’s nice if they do join you on utterli. This way if
Twitter is down for whatever reason, you can still get in
touch with that person.

2. Another good tool to use in conjunction with Twitter
is skype. Skype is a service that allows you to make phone
calls from your computer. You can also use skype to chat.
Skype is great when you and a tweep are holding a
conversation that requires more than 140 characters to do it
justice. Skype is also good to use if you are discussing
something private that you really don’t want the whole
Twitterverse to know about.

3. You can also use Facebook in conjunction with
Twitter. It’s important to connect with your Twitter
friends on Facebook because some people are more comfortable
with Facebook than they are with Twitter. Facebook also
allows you to build a deeper one on one connection with your
Twitter friends because they have all of those applications
and games. A whole different article could be written about
all of the different Facebook applications and how they can
help your business. That’s beyond the scope of this
article. Just be sure to invite your Twitter friends to
friend you on Facebook (hey I didn’t make it up, they did)
and you’ll have an additional way to contact them.

4. Twitter in and of itself is an excellent place to
network and grow your business. However, it is important not
to get too comfortable on any one social networking site.
You don’t want your business to sit at a standstill because
someone decided to close down your favorite social media
site.

5. Twitter automation is another great method of making
the most of your time. There are literally hundreds of sites
online that will allow you to automate many tasks regarding
Twitter. Sites for automatically sending your new followers
a friendly welcome message (Auto DM Script) or sites that
will even allow you to filter your followers based on
Keywords or topics and schedule your tweets based on a
preset time schedule. And there are even some that have a
mechanism in place that will allow you to use the same basic
tweet phrase but will insert different words or phrases into
your tweet based on ‘tags’ that you generate.

If this method of using twitter sounds enticing, you may
want to take a look at the new Tweeple Pro
Scripts
membership. Each and every month you will get a
new Twitter based script to help you automate or build your
following on Twitter. And the best part about the site is
the new method of delivery and installation of these
scripts! Each month, you login to your site, check the
latest script out to see if you want to use it, and if you
do, simply click a button, fill in a text box or two and you
are ready to go. Plus, each monthly script comes with videos
to show you how to use them!

Tweeple Pro
Scripts
can save you hours of time every month and still
allow you to interact with your followers while maintaining
your business.
