Call for Beta-Testers: Tweet Bulk Scheduling, Link Building, Social Automation App

The full System is nearly a Big Data implementation. It's so processing intensive that I can only fit 7 accounts on a server. I keep it reserved for myself and clients under annual contract. For everyone else, the primary functions will fit in the Lite version.

This is not a Web Intent based thing. We are talking about a Twitter web app implementation.

What The System Lite does

I started by automating the building of Click-to-Tweet-with-Image links. It's a more robust, multi-lingual version of what I describe in "What is The Optimum Blog Post Length? How to Know #2" 

The links are also stored for later re-use.

Then I moved onto Automated Bulk Scheduling of tweets with images.

With the System, I do much of the work directly in SQL. Obviously, that's not an option here. I created several types of scheduling methods. 

All scheduling methods include hashtag rotation for automating cross-posting to LinkedIn, Facebook, Facebook Pages, and Pinterest. 

All Scheduling methods support Tweet-with-Image. Tweeting without an image is futile.

Scheduling Methods

By Minute Interval: Schedules Tweets based on pre-set interval delay. An Hour / Day / Week / Month Minute guide is included.

By Daily Schedule: Schedules Tweets based on set time-slots throughout a day. Tweet times are randomized with 30-minute blocks. Adjusts to your time zone as applicable. Schedule up to a year's worth at a time.

By Weekly Schedule: Schedules Tweets Weekly based on pre-set day & time. Randomized within the hour. Schedule up to a year's worth at a time. (under development) 

By Daily Frequency: Schedules Tweets based on pre-set daily frequency at randomized times within a specified time range throughout the day. Schedule up to a year's worth at a time.

By Weekly Frequency: Schedules Tweets based on pre-set weekly frequency at randomized times within a specified time range throughout the day. Schedule up to 12 tweets a day for up to a year.

By Monthly Frequency: Schedules Tweets based on pre-set monthly frequency at a specified time. Schedule up to 2 years' worth.

A Random Walk Down Tweet Street: Schedules Tweets based on a seemingly random monthly frequency. Schedule up to 2 years' worth.

By Phased Distribution: Schedules Tweets using different frequencies for four different periods of time. Blitz at first, then slow down gradually. 

By Monthly Schedule: Schedules Tweets based on pre-set day(s) of the month. Randomized hour within a range. (under development)

I plan to add a growth-hacking module if I can ever figure out how to lighten the process. Following someone else's followers just doesn't cut it. It doesn't give a targetted following. It might, but that would be just a coincidence. 

For now, let's just stick to Click-to-Tweet links, Scheduling, and Hashtag rotation.

The Importance of Hashtag Rotation

Twitter can be used to automate your other social accounts. To be specific, you can automate LinkedIn updates, Facebook Page posts, Facebook stream posts, and Pinterest pins. I describe how to do that in "Twitter as Social Media Server. The Key to Automation."

The short of it is that you can tweet with a particular hashtag to trigger an action on another platform. When I tweet with #in, I update LinkedIn. #fbp goes to my Facebook Ghostwriter page. #pin will go to my Pinterest board (once I get around to actually creating one).

Now I need your help

Nearly every function is coded. Right now, they are all hard-coded to my account. This week I will add a login script and user differentiation. I also need to work on automating time-zone adjustments. It would be a pain to schedule tweets on Montreal time from, say, London.

By next week, we should be ready to start multi-user beta-testing.

That's where you come in.

I need five to twenty testers to put it through its paces. We will run a little while with the Twitter connection cut while we work through any kinks. Then we'll go live.

Yes, I hope to monetize this system. I hoping to keep it ~U$50 a year. Let's just call it U$5 a month for now. Beta-testers will have a free year's membership starting from public launch.

If I ever figure out how to lighten the growth-hacking scripts, beta-testers will be first in line for that as well, for more free membership time.

I also plan to make it available in French, Spanish, German, and Portuguese.

I hope you can help.
