Did You Wind up in Twitter Jail?

This post has been so popular I thought it best to re-post so you all don't wind up being Twitter Criminals.


Do you tweet?

If not you should. Twitter is without a doubt the one of the best social media today for marketing online. Twitter is also brutal about shutting down accounts that abuse the system.

Twitter will allow you to have as many people follow you as you would like, which means you can have your own targeted private market. Of course Twitter has rules about followers, rules about sending messages, and rules about your tweets. If you were unaware of some of these rules, you should review them on Twitter to be sure you are in compliance or you may get your account suspended or even closed.

If you think you would like to use Twitter as a marketing source you should do it, but you should do it the right way. That is to follow all the rules. Seem like a lot of rules to follow? Well it is. But I there is a way you can be sure to follow all the rules and stay in compliance at all times.

What will do this? A Robot, or an App. Robots and Apps are allowed by Twitter so you can make your tweets outside of Twitter itself, they then send the tweet to Twitter through their own server. They are aware of all the rules to be followed and they will tell you in advance if your Tweet is going to violate Twitters rules. That way you make the adjustment before you send the tweet and no harm no foul.

So if you are going to use Twitter to do your promotions, I urge you to make the tweets through a third party that has been approved by Twitter already and stay out of Twitter Jail.
