Autofollow Messages & Predetermined Tweets

A good way to greet new Twitter followers is by sending them a short welcome message via a direct Tweet. This can be done manually, but that takes time and energy (two things I am trying to help you cut down on).
So rather than manually write back to every person who decides to follow your school on Twitter, you can create an auto-follow message, which automatically sends new followers a direct message of your choosing.
To do this, go to SocialOomph.com (Note that in the video above I refer to this website as TweetLater.com. The site used to be called TweetLater.com and just recently changed their name to SocialOomph.com) and register for an account (It’s free!).
Once you’ve created your account, watch the video above to see how to create an auto-follow message for your school’s new Twitter followers. And continue watching to learn how you can set up Tweets in advance, which will be sent out at predetermined times, so you don’t actually have to be near a computer to send out your Twitter messages.
If you have any questions, leave a comment below or leave a message in the member’s forum.
