Auto responder with an automatic message
When you get a brand new Twitter follower, you want them to feel welcome. This blog post tells you how to set up an auto responder welcoming your new followers.
Remember, Twitter is a SOCIAL media. People want to socialize. If you try advertising a product in your welcome message, they may just end up unfollowing you. You will use the message to simply start building a relationship.
You will be using a website called Social Oomph. They can help handle much of your social media marketing with Twitter at a very low cost. If you want to use their services for other social media, there is a charge.
