Email # 15: How to Automate Your Activity on Twitter

Dear <firstname>,

You can make your Twitter account work on its own. For that, first you will need to use your Google Alerts account to keep you informed about any activity based on keywords that are relevant to you. Next, you can go to your Google Alerts account and select the manner in which you want the alert to be sent to you.

This is where you can do some things that are relevant to your Twitter activity. Instead of selecting the normal route where you get the delivery by email, you could select the option to get the alert delivered via an RSS feed. You will now get a feed URL, which you have to copy and enter into the resource available at http://www.budurl.com/. This shrinks your URL to a smaller URL which you can easily use on Twitter.

Now go to http://www.twitterfeed.com/ and create an account there. Next, enter your new smaller feed URL into this account. The rest is as simple as eating pie. Whenever there is a Google Alert that you receive, it will automatically be posted into your Twitter account.

So instead of going through the entire rigmarole over and over again, you are actually tweaking things so that your Twitter activity is automatically updated!

To your Twitter profits,

Your name
