Managing Twitter Accounts is not an easy task, and if you are power twitter user, then you must be knowing how much difficult it is to keep all the accounts updated and managed well.

Mac Users :

I recommend Official Twitter App for Mac which allows you to manage different twitter accounts at once, and notifies you of mentions, DMs and other things too.

Windows Users :

If you are running on Windows, then I would recommend Tweetdeck for Windows, which has got perfect interface and functionality to manage all your twitter accounts.

You should read all the mentions, which I think you are already upto. You should reply to every Mention. It helps you to engage users with your content.

Free Twitter Marketing Tools

Obviously you would not like to pay for apps and tools that even freewares can perform. If you would like to use premium marketing tools, go for Tweet Adder.

Tweet Adder is one of the best application, available for Mac as well as Windows, lets you manage any number of Twitter Accounts. Tweet Adder is fully automated, so nothing is better than this if you are ready to pay for it.

Most of us don’t like to spend on such things. We have a lot of Web 2.0 Apps which helps us to automate our Twitter Accounts.

Have you heard of Twitter Feed ?

Its the Web App designed to automatically publish tweet to all your twitter accounts whenever you publish new content on your blog.

Not only Twitter, it also spreads your content on LinkedIn as well as Facebook. And you don’t have to do anything for this, its fully automated.

To manage your followers, there is again a lot of web apps for that. You should have as much followers as you can, though this statement has on exception.

Never try to get irrelevant followers on twitter.

With irrelevant followers, I meant the Twitter Users which are not related to your niche or topic. Because having them in your followers list will not benefit you in any way.

Irrelevant followers will never click on your links, because your topic is not related to them. So, try to get targeted followers who below to your blog’s or website’s niche.

If you already have bunch of followers that do nothing but just +1 your followers list, then you should unfollow followers like these.

If you want to do something like follow a lot of people belonging to a particular niche, there are again number of apps for doing that. If your twitter account is new, you should mass follow users in your niche.

And, for getting the best out of your twitter promotion, you should use One-Click Tweet Links. Whenever someone clicks on that link, he will automatically redirected to make a new tweet with your link.

Link Promotion – Easy and Effective Way

Link Promotion is the most important part of Marketing your Business or Blog on Twitter. A link, can be your affiliate link, or a landing page, or your blog post you are focusing  to increase traffic.

Affiliate Marketers use Twitter to drive traffic to their affiliate links, and they get many sales with it too. But only those get success who do Link Promotion on Twitter, the effective and efficient way.

So, I recommend you to use plugin. See I have only 250 followers, if you have thousands of followers, it will give much more better results.

Keep on engaging your followers like this way, or your own way. This will help your content to diversify among your followers of followers.

So, how actually engage your followers with your content. It isn’t an easy task.

The simple way to start this is to mention people which are related to your link.
