Building an MLM business on the Internet is all about leverage. Leveraging your time and your money, so if you can automate something without losing your identity, this is a good thing.

Be Wary of Scheduling in Advance
HootSuite.com is a good tool for scheduling posts in advance. However, please use it carefully, and don’t use it to send continual advertisements. If you do that, you’ll turn off your followers, and they will stop following you. Besides, your business will not grow if you advertise all the time.

Send Useful Stuff to your Followers
The idea of Twitter is to send things to your followers that they can use to grow their business. Or, send them information that will help them decide on what kind of business they want (if they’re looking for a business).

Using HootSuite

  1. Sign up for a Free account at HootSuite.com
  2. While you’re logged into HootSuite, click on the Settings button (it’s at the bottom left corner of your dashboard page). You’re looking for buttons that are similar to those in the figure below:
    HootSuite Settings buttons
    Figure 1. HootSuite Buttons
  3. Fill out your details for Account settings, then click on the Social Networks Tab, and click on Add Social Network Type in your Twitter username and password and click on the “Submit” button.
  4. Now, you’re ready to Schedule a few Tweets, so here’s how to do that. Go up towards the top of your dashboard screen, where it says “Schedule” – it looks like Figure 2. below and click on “Send Later”:

  5. Click on the calendar (see Figure 3. below) Send later Calendar

  6. From the calendar, Choose a date and time when you want your tweet sent. In the empty box above where it says Send type your tweet, and click on the Schedule button.

That’s it! Now your tweet will go out on the day and at the time you scheduled it.

Suggestions for Scheduled Tweets

  • Inspirational Quotes that you like
  • Share other people’s high quality content that’s relevant to your prospect’s needs
  • Tweet about events that are coming up in the future
  • Highlight your downline’s achievements
  • Share content that makes you laugh
  • Tweet about products just arriving or just arrived (not too much though).

Have fun with your twittering..

Hi Julieanne!

Thanks for inviting me back to your Blog…it's always nice seeing you. :)

Automation must be, I believe, an integral part of anyone's marketing/sales funnels. Now, the secret is to craft a message in a NON SPAMMING way, then direct the residual traffic over to a Blog where the REAL meat & potatoes are being served up!!

Keep up your fantastic work…your tribal friend Steven Suchar

cool ideas about scheduling tweets. I find you are right when saying that it's all about automating without losing our identity. Thanks for pointing that out.
Take care

Hi Steven, yes that's definitely the secret. When automating tweets, I think it's better to send out info about other people's posts, rather than your own.
