After Setting up Twitter here’s the next thing to do before getting followers.

Set up an Automatic Reply so people who follow you are sent a message from you immediately they follow. The best place I know of to do that is Social Oomph

1. Go over to Social Oomph, and sign up for your free account.
2. Add Twitter to your Social Oomph account Once you’ve logged into Social Oomph, go to the menu on the left, and select, Social Accounts, Add New Account, Add Twitter (see the diagram below if you’re not sure where to find those things on the menu).

3. From the menu, select Social Accounts, then Manage Accounts, then select Edit. You will see a screen similar to Figure 2 below, where you can enter your message.

   Make sure and Press the SAVE button after check the 2 boxes indicated in Figure 2 and Adding your message. See Figure 2. below to see what to do.

4. NOTE: Make sure your message is friendly and doesn’t advertise your products or services. This message should be a greeting to new followers, otherwise, they may just un-follow you immediately. The best message to write is a greeting, then a question that’s likely to get a response from your new follower

It won’t be long before you can start finding followers. In my next post, I’ll give you some ideas for where to find followers.
