While this isn't a method to make money, you can easily couple it with anything else to start getting quality traffic to whatever site you want. Basically, the way this works, is you set a twitter account on autopilot, to automatically tweet at people who have recently tweeted about whatever keywords you are targeting. This is 100% free, and that's a really handy tool to know. It's not a new method that I came up with, but I thought I would post it in a thread so that others can find more easily.
This is my first thread where I'm trying to really give back, so feel free to let me know how understandable all of this is!!
Let's get started!
The first thing that you will need is a twitter account. In this example, use twitter account that you would want to get specific traffic from. I'll just choose basket weaving.
1. Go to pipes.yahoo.com and sign up for a free account. Create a new pipe. This is a tool that you can use to make automated tools. The first thing that we need to do is make this specific pipe pull in people are tweeting about your keyword. click on sources on the left-hand side, and add "fetch feed" to the drawing board on the right. In the blank space you will put the following URL address:
Where basket weaving is your target keyword.
2. Next we need to add some filters. On the left-hand side again click on operators, and drag "filter" out to the drawing board. You will add the following three rules:
3. Under "operators" you will now drag out a "loop". Then you will click on "string" and drag "string builder" into the middle of the "loop". Inside of the string builder you will add two strings:
The second string will be what you are retweeting to your targeted twitter users. You can make it say whatever you like. At the bottom of the loop make sure "assignment results to" is set to "item.title". Do this by typing it in open space.
4. Click on "operators" and drag out "regex". In the three spaces you should fill in the following information:
5. Lastly, you need to connect all these different parts of the pipe together. Drag the circle at the bottom of the first box the top of the second, the bottom the second to the third, and so on. The end result should look like the pic below. You can test the pipe by clicking on the "Pipe output" at the bottom and clicking the refresh at the bottom left a couple times. You should get a message that looks like:
6. So far we have built an automation that will create messages that are targeted towards our keyword. However, we need to pair this up with our Twitter account. There are a bunch of ways to do this, but I'm going to show you the way I know best. So.
Save the pipe, and then click "back to my pipes". Click on the pipe you just created and click the "get as RSS" to the right of the name. Copy the URL address which should look something like the following:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=de8b2be1254eab2a7745eb7ac030c17d&_render=rss
7. Go to feedburner.Google.com and paste you're URL link here. Click "next" four times until you arrive at your dashboard. then click "publicize". In the left-hand side click "socialize". Click the button in the middle that says "add a Twitter account". Authorizer twitter account.
8. Once the two are linked, change the "item limit" in formatting options to 8. Then click activate at the bottom.
DONE!
You're all set! It will take about 2 hours for it to start tweeting, but it will keep on going until twitter is defunct. I'm too tired to explain the how this all works if you don't already understand it, but post a question and I'll answer.
Enjoy!
