Autopost new Twitter followersposted in Uncategorized by admin / 0 Comments

SocailOomph have a new best practice guide for auto tweeting your new followers. I have often noticed this when following someone and find it a bit impersonal, the opposite of what you expect to get. The main points of their guide are below:

What Should You And Should You Not Say In Your Welcome Message?

This advice contains the collective wisdom of many folks who have given feedback regarding what they appreciate in a welcome note, and what they do not appreciate.

Write a very simple welcome message.

If you really want folks to unfollow you, then try and sell them something with this first welcome message. Very few people like that.

Be careful even if you’re giving away something for free.

The purpose of this message is to say hello and welcome.

Most people take a dim view of you when you do any kind of self-promotion with this message. If your message smells remotely like, “Hi, thanks for the follow, now buy my stuff or do something that will benefit me or check out how cool I am,” then you really are misusing this welcome message.

Don’t send what you wouldn’t like to receive from others.
