HOW TO SHARE YOUR STORY ON A LIMITED BUDGET

Recently I was invited to speak at the “FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA” conference here in Melbourne which was a lot of fun.

One of the great things about Twitter marketing is that is really is possible to have a global vision and schedule your tweets to have a presence on Twitter even while you’re sleeping.  Statistics tell me that more than 55% of my followers are based in the US and less than 13% of people are following me here in Australia. AMAZING!! That means that when I’m ready to call it a day, my followers are eating breakfast. I’ll admit that I have tried to stay up until 3am but it’s really quite hard to do consistently. I have 3 favourites when it comes to scheduling my tweets ahead of time:   BUFFER HOOTSUITE GREMLN   Now, I want you to check out each for yourself and decide which one best suits your needs but I like Buffer for one reason: I’m really REALLY hopeless when it comes to admin.  What Buffer does is that it allows you to hop into your account once, set all of the times you want to be tweeting, and then it just works in with whatever’s been programmed in. All you need to do is copy/paste any links you want to tweet out. That means that at this point in time, I’ve got about 6 months’ worth of tweets ready to go. Now, it does cost about $10 per...
