Are you at the point with your Twitter marketing where the amount of work is so time consuming that you are looking for ways to automate the process? Have you decided it is time to start engaging your prospects via Twitter but know you won’t have the time or energy to commit to making it successful?

Well you’ve landed yourself in the right place, as in this article I’m going to reveal to you the best way to manage your efforts with Twitter. Now you’ve probably heard or seen software programs all over the internet that you can buy or even some that are free, that automate all your tweets, follows, and direct messages.

Let me tell you that I’ve tried just about all of them in my businesses…while there are pluses and minuses with each, there are a few main issues when trying to employ software that arise.

You can avoid all of these issues and gain huge benefits by using a live Twitter manager (TM) instead.

Here’s what they are:

1) Time:

This is the big one, as any business owner or professional knows that time is money and definitely of the essence. I have yet to find a Twitter software that will write your tweets on your behalf and create engaging content for your followers.

A good TM will do this on your behalf, saving you not only the time of entering the tweets into the system, but the time involved with developing the content for the tweet itself.

Another time saving element a person can give you over software is the general maintenance of your account. Software will not delete direct messages and block spammers who follow you.

2) Engage your prospects:

A huge piece to being successful with marketing in this platform is building a targeted following. While there are many software programs that can smartly build a targeted following on your behalf, there are none that can engage your followers and interact with them like a real person can.

3) Reputation management:

Your TM can monitor what is being said about your products and services on Twitter and other online platforms to make sure that only positives are being circulated about your company. They can also alert you when negative items start to surface so that you can take appropriate action. This is simply not possible with any of the software programs available.

On top of all this, a good Twitter manager will work with you to understand your ideal prospect and client profile and then work with you to develop a marketing plan that gets you in front of your target audience across all of the various social media sites that they frequent. In essence you get an online marketing division that will produce the automatic leads and sales your business needs from online efforts.
