Brand your Tweets with your Website’s URL

Are you a business owner or blogger who uses social media to market and promote your product?

Do you use social networks to engage with your customers and business clientele?

Do you use Twitter as a medium to reach out and create brand awareness.

What if I told you that every single one of your tweets is promoting someone else’s business.. and you probably don’t even know it!

Want proof?

OK..

I have just sent out three tweets promoting my blog.. using three different Twitter clients – Seesmic, CoTweet and HootSuite.

Each of these tweets has been branded with the Twitter client I used to send out that tweet,

Did you know these are actually hyperlinks pointing back to these company’s websites?

So every time you send out a tweet you are advertising this company’s product.. with link back to their website.

You are promoting them for free.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could capitalise on this valuable piece of web real estate by,

• branding your own tweets with your business’s name
• include a link back to your website, blog or Facebook page

Just like this,

Well you can and I will show you how.

MarketMeTweet

The team at PieDog Media have just released an update to their already feature packed and extremely powerful, social media management tool called MarketMeTweet.

Currently MarketMeTweet is the only fully featured twitter client that brands your tweets.

(I had previously written a post on PieDog Media’s now obsolete tool Tweetbrand, which also provided Twitter branding, but was far less powerful than MarketMeTweet).

To give you an idea of some of its features, this video provides a nice overview of MarketMeTweet v2.0,

Now that Google and Bing are displaying real-time Twitter and Facebook search results, it’s super important to have a presence on social media.

With access to real-time information becoming the norm, can your business afford not to be using social media?

MarketMeTweet is for businesses (small and large), as well as bloggers, power-users and even newbies.

If you have a brand and use social media, then MarketMeTweet is for you.

MarketMeTweet lets you easily promote your business online, attract new customers and make more money.

Brand Management

One of my favourite features of MarketMeTweet is the ability to brand your tweets. This means that every tweet you send is branded with a link back to your website.

This video steps through the process of setting up and configuring your brand,

Once you have set this up,  every tweet you send out will be branded with your own URL,

This is a fantastic feature that will give your business that competitive edge over your rivals, and create additional brand awareness.

Unlimited Accounts

MarketMeTweet allows you to add unlimited Twitter accounts.

This is especially useful if your business has multiple personas or departments.. or you own multiple blogs with a specific Twitter account for each.

With MarketMeTweet you can add a new Twitter account with the click of a button, and manage all of them from the one interface.

Scheduled Tweets

MarketMeTweet offers tweet scheduling that is common amongst Twitter clients nowadays.

Firstly, there is the standard method where you can schedule your tweets to be sent out at a future date and time.

The second scheduling feature that is unique to MarketMeTweet, is the ability to schedule tweets using Google calendar.

Since syncing my iPhone with Google’s services, I have come use Google Calendar religiously and became quite excited when I found out about this feature.

To schedule tweets using Google Calendar you first need to enable Google Calendar.

Do this by clicking on the <Schedule> button when the Tweet box is empty,

Click on Google Calendar button,

Now head over to Google and open up your calendar.

If you have multiple calendars select the Calendar you wish to Tweet from, then click on Calendar Settings,

In Calendar Settings scroll down to Private Address and click on XML,

Copy this address,

And paste this address in MarketMeTweet.. then press <Set Calendar>,

Done!

You have now configured  MarketMeTweet and Google calendar.

To schedule a tweet.. make a note of your screen name, your MarketMeTweet ID and your License key.. then head back to Google calendar,

Schedule a tweet in Google calendar, by creating a new event with a future date and time .

In the “What” field, make sure you enter your TwitterName YourMMTID_YourLicenseKey (that you noted earlier) in the following format,

Choose a time that is at least 15 minutes into the future (just ignore the “end-time”).. enter your tweet.. then click <Save>,

Done!

You have now scheduled a tweet using Google calendar,

(NB – twitter branding won’t work using this method).

Even if you don’t have MarketMeTweet open, your tweets will still be sent at the scheduled time!

Twitter Management

No other Twitter business software has a comprehensive management side.

Similar to other popular tools, you’re able to see your friend’s timelines, replies/mentions, easily manage and delete direct messages, groups, search, customise panes, expand the interface and more.

Smart Following & Unfollowing Algorithm (user controlled)

MarketMeTweet enables you to keep control of your account by finding highly targeted followers, and unfollow those who aren’t enriching your account.

It’s hard to break through the clutter in a crowded marketplace.

That’s why groups with Twitter Lists were created.. an easy way for you to filter your friend’s tweets and keep up to date.
