How You Can Follow Me On Twitter If You Want More Engagement For Your Stories
Solopreneurs And Writers — I will follow, read, and promote your Twitter post to raise your brand awareness
Did I say I can promote your post indefinitely and for free?
One of my favorite Medium writers is Justiss Goode. https://medium.com/@justissgoode
You can follow her on Twitter at @JustissGoode :
She is my inspiration for my joining a website (Pensignal) that allows me to set up automatic tweets, so that they post on Twitter, at whatever time and day that I designate.
IF you want to sign up under me on Pensignal — this is an affiliate link — you can click here — otherwise, I am happy to “do the heavy lifting” for you in the meantime if you need to “think about it”:
Justiss correctly shares that you should think about where you want to promote your stories (and links to your website- for solopreneurs).
I figured that I would amplify her stellar idea to include solopreneurs that want a way to use Twitter to invite prospective clients to go to their website to check out their service or product!
So, why not use Twitter for this? As Justiss says, it is an awesome playground for both writers and readers! Also — IMHO — for solopreneurs and prospective clients!
If you want to get in on the action, read on!
Justiss is already doing this — so check out the details on how you can ask her to promote you as well by clicking here:
Did I say she is awesome — AND “The One” to take you on a journey in which you will almost certainly realize incredible success in getting more brand awareness — and learn how to build the engagement you need to be a top-tier writer?
What you need to do
So, if you want me to promote one of your stories (or links to your website) and let me put it on the auto-tweet, here’s what to do — but I hasten to say that this is a limited offer- depending on the response I get to my offer:
· Follow me on Twitter at @azpat0
· Send me an email containing your Twitter handle and a link to the Medium story (or to your website) that you’d like me to promote.
· Send the email by clicking on the “Contact Me” link on my website: https://protectmykid.us
IMPORTANT: DO include YOUR email address! Without it, I am unable to add you to my “Twitter Auto-Promotion FOMO Brand Awareness Program”!
BTW FOMO — “Fear Of Missing Out” is my way of saying “Be here — or be nowhere”! — or “Get on board or get left behind” — Tough love, no?
OPTIONAL: Indicate the day of the week and/or time of day you want me to have your Tweet run. I cannot guarantee I will be able to do this in all situations — but I shall do my best!
What I shall do for you
When I get your emails, I’ll be sure to:
· Follow all those that send requests, and tweet a live greeting
· Set up an auto-tweet, containing a brief comment, and a link to your story (or website)
I am not sure how long I can make this promotional offer — so get back to me as soon as possible!
Remember:
· Any Medium member (or solopreneur) is eligible, no matter what type of stories you write
· You MUST be sure to follow @azpat0 on Twitter
· You MUST make your request via email — by using the “Contact Me” link on my website:
NOT in a response!
· IMPORTANT: Include your email address when you contact me!
I look forward to hearing from those of you, smart enough to take advantage of a good thing, especially when it doesn’t cost a thing.
Again — full disclosure- my sincere thanks to Justiss Goode
For her awesomeness and her breakthrough ideas that are cutting-edge in raising brand awareness and writing truly impactful articles on engagement and permitting “the rest of us” to accompany her on her journey on which she leads us to our dream of being top-tier writers!
If you want even more details on the service that Justiss and I use to post your tweets on auto-run, be sure to check out her Medium article on the service — she says it so much better than I can. Anyway, why reinvent the wheel, as they say! She says it far better than I can say — how great the Signal service is!
Here is the link:
The Takeaway
With credit to Justiss — for sharing the above information — I shall share just a snippet of what she has to say about the service we use to promote your tweets:
Justiss shares this with us — from the above article’s link:
ABOUT THE SERVICE BENEFITS
· This affiliate tool enables Medium writers to create tweets that can be scheduled in advance. The automatic tweets are called Signals.
· A FREE service is available, however, it does not allow for unlimited use, as the paid service does.
· A paid service is available for $6.99 (monthly) and it allows unlimited use of the service — meaning: the ability to schedule as many tweets as you want to, whenever you want to, for as long as you want to.
· Paid members are eligible to grab the affiliate link and earn $3.49 for referring new members.
Even before you consider selecting this service as an affiliate opportunity, you can see the potential benefits to you as a Medium writer.
Imagine writing several tweets about one or more of your stories, then setting them to go off at a scheduled day and time, just like an alarm clock.
With the free Signal service, you can do this a selected number of times every day — completely free.
But suppose you’re a prolific writer like I am, and you have tons of stories that you want to schedule in the same manner, not just one or two. You’ll find that it’s well worth it, to pay $6.99 a month for endless tweets.
For instance, when I’m done publishing this story, I plan to set it on automatic pilot and let it run 3 times a day — INDEFINITELY! For me, and writers just like me, signing up for the paid service was a no-brainer, but even if you use the free service, it is still wise to try the service yourself.
The wisdom is in the fact that you can talk to others with confidence when mentioning the affiliate product. So that’s the benefit of this particular service. Now let’s talk about the affiliate opportunity.
ABOUT THE AFFILIATE PRODUCT
When it comes time for an affiliate marketer to select a product or service to promote, there are some necessary issues to be considered.
You’ve already seen how the Pensignal affiliate program offers a useful product, and that you can earn $3.49 for each referral. Those are some good incentives to join. Now consider these questions.
· Will I take time to check out the product or service for myself?
· Will I purchase or test the service or product for myself?
· Will I only promote products or services I care about or believe in?
· Will I be honest about how I promote the product or service?
· Will I be proactive or only do passive marketing and promotion?
Besides the above questions that you need to ask yourself about the affiliate products and services you promote, there is one more important thing you need to consider:
Does the affiliate product or service provide real value to the targeted consumer?
The good thing about a good product is that it sells itself. All you need to do is position it correctly. When you consider the affiliate products you are willing to promote here on Medium, think about if it is something that the overall community might need or benefit from.
As you can see, the Signal service is one that you can feel comfortable supporting and mentioning to writers.
It is a useful service and you don’t even have to push them on it. They can try the free service and make their own decision to upgrade.
To help you get a visual of how easy the service is to use, notice the following screenshot (Justiss provides this in the above link) of my user dashboard. I have the paid membership, and I’ve used it to schedule at least 100 of my stories.
The tweets continue to go off, day or night, and they are the reason I get quite a bit of external traffic to my stories.
Justiss notes:
Then, all you do is the schedule when you want it to run, and how many times a day (up to 3 times daily if you select every 8 hours).
Justiss kindly shared her “Final Thoughts” as well:
Final Thoughts
Before you decide to settle on this affiliate program or any affiliate program, make sure that the product or service is one you’ll be comfortable promoting. Just focus on these three points when making a decision.
1. Think about the useful benefits that the affiliate service provides
2. Remember the wisdom in using either the paid or free service yourself
3. Recall the five questions you need to ask yourself about selecting an affiliate product, or service.
