If you are using a social site like Twitter or Facebook to help marketing yourself then I have some a great tips!

#1 SocialOomph

This is a FREE site, (for the first level) that can help you organize your FaceBook post and Tweets!  If you are like me, I sometimes get on the different sites to update and then find myself staying for hours.  Now, I preset my Tweets to send through out the day and forget about it!

Usually I try and do the days tweets the evening before so that cuts  my time on Twitter by quite a bit.  My formula is something like:  2 or 3 personal tweets, 3 quotes, 3 links to information, and a couple of retweets!  I try and average about 10 a day, give or take!

Also, you can schedule to automatically follow any one that follows you and send them an automated “Thanks”.

Since I have started implementing these two tactics, my Twitter followers have steadily increase, without much work on my part.  Just giving out valuable information and being nice!  And every so many days I will spend time searching out keywording in Twitter to see if there are any interesting people that I want to follow.

# 2 Another great application is Tweetdeck.  This enables you to keep FaceBook and Twitter on one page.  The best thing I like about this is that you can see if someone mentions you on Twitter and easily respond!  Which is great because this is about building relationships!

So, if you aren’t using these, give them a try.  They are both free and can greatly help you in the social media area.

Hope these tips help!
