Hi, Trying to understand the best and most efficient way to use twitter Are there good and preferably free software to use and what benefits do they give? I use tweetdeck at the moment. It kind of creates a good layout of your tweets but doesn't help much in growing twitter followers number. Please, advise. Thank you!
Tweetattacks is quite good and offers a free demo version. It works by autofollowing lists of Twitter users, then discreetly unfollowing them a few days later (hopefully after they've followed you back). Works pretty effectively.
Still curious tweetAttacks  is a nice piece of software. But Any good guide there on do's and dont's? Best practices? i do not believe that there are no tools there, they just have to be
Best guideline for using tweetattacks is DO NOT PUSH THE FOLLOWING LIMIT. Your account will get suspended. Keep it around 500, follows / day. Then starting scaling upwards when you have a bigger list of followers for your account.
Ridiculed, thank you very much for the tip. And what number of followers is considered to be "a bigger list"? 1K-2K ? I've googled socialoomph and tweetadder.com. Are they any good?
Tweetattacks is quite interesting as it can get content for your tweets, so you can write lots of them really quickly and schedule them for later. Also, the "wait & reply" function will wait for people tweeting your keyword(s) in real time, and send them a relevant message. I like SocialOomph as well - it has features that cover other social networks which is good. Tweetadder I have not tried - but looks to have some powerful features, but perhaps not as much as Tweetattacks. I think once you get more than 2000 followers in an account, you could consider that a "bigger" list - but I still wouldn't follow as many as 500 per day with even that many followers, best wishes, JJ.
Thank you JJ, but I cannot find the feature to schedule tweets. Is it available only in the paid version?
I use Tweet Adder and love it for the most part - sometimes it gets a little buggy but they are usually good on correcting those issues.
twitter changes frequently, free tools can't keep update with it. Suggest you buy paid software to build your twitter accounts, it will be safer and more useful,Tweetattack, tweetfllowing offer free tried choice, you can have a try to see if they are useful for you.
Try Socialoomph, that's my favorite. Automation and updates are free, so it's partially free. That best way to utilize twitter in my opinion is to share very valuable info, funny stuff, affirmations, quotes, interesting news within your niche and an occational ad for a product you can sell. But remember 80% content/value and 20% ads.
