WASHINGTON DC, Social Media Marketing Consultant

One of the most important reasons to use social media marketing for business is to pull visitors into your website from where they hang out online. Twitter is a great example. Some people are addicted to Twitter. They actually hang out on Twitter and use Twitter more than they use Google or Facebook. In fact, if you are looking for real-time results, what people are actually talking about and buzzing about right now in a live environment, Twitter is probably the number one place to be.

But, the problem is that it takes time and we are all short of that. So, a very time-efficient way of reaching out or performing social outreach on sites like Twitter is to push your news, blog and web content out to Twitter and hope that people find your Tweets and then click back to your website, thereby drawing more people in.

One of the best tools out there for feeding your Twitter profile is TwitterFeed.  It’s quick, easy and relatively secure. 

NOTE: Sometimes, when you use third party sites to feed your twitter, it gets hacked or hijacked by spammers.  So, if you start noticing a lot of your own Tweets that you don’t recognize or that you are following a bunch of new people that you don’t recognize, it is a good sign that your Twitter feed has been hacked.  You will want to change your password and find another vehicle for feeding your Twitter.

Step 1: Create your account on TwitterFeed

Step 2: Define your feeds

1. Create the feed
2. Assign a name so you know the source of the information
3. Specify the RSS.  With WordPress, it is simply your domain.com/feed/
4. Test the feed to make sure it is working



5. Authenticate your Twitter account

Step 3: Monitor the results
