Tweet My Blog – A great new plugin
You always here the buzz about Web 2.0 and for a reason – it works. Two of the things that work well together are Twitter and WordPress blogs.
I have been usnig the two together for a while. It can be time consuming as Twitter is like a mini blog but it is ever so effectiove at getting more readership to your blogs that it is worth the effort.
Today that effort just got cut appreciably. Tweet My Blog is a free WordPress plugin from Soren Jordansen and John Merrick. It will leverage your blog feed and Twitter automatically.
Now I have been using this for a few days and it ROCKS!
My Twitter followers are increasing at 3 times the rate they normally do.
I was using a different service to post from my feeds and because this is on the blog itself it posts my content much quicker than the other did.
Set it and forget it. Yep anything that can make me more active on Twitter without doing anything extra is huge. This is a must for any serious blogger and allows you to leverage your blog and Twitter to the advantage of both.
By the way the plugin is totally free but you should take a close look at
the special offer they have in store for you when join. I instantly grabbed my own copy, and I know it will skyrocket my marketing power when using Twitter and WordPress.
As always your questions and comments are welcomed.

@Susanne F -Used to use that service. The difference is that this posts immediately instead of within an hour and it also allows me to show my latest tweets on the blog here.
I don’t promote twitter in my emails etc but having the widget has shown a huge increase in followers over the last few days.
That is the key it creates more followers and speeds up my message and for free too.

Yep and that was the key for us when we created Tweet My Blog – after we got the idea we noticed that there were similar services out there, so we set up to take it up a notch and do it better than the rest.
I feel we managed to do just that, and we will continue to improve Tweet My Blog – possibly making a version for Blogger and/or other blogging platforms.

Hi,
I have a quick question on the offers my followers will get. How will these offers be delivered, via email or via Twitter? What type of offers are they?
It’s interesting. Let me know. Thx!

@Missy – It is a One Time Offer when you log in to download the plugin so it is neither.

While I haven’t done as many Twitter posts as my mate Mitch I have got a few under my belt. One of the first being about adding the Tweet My Blog plugin. This plugin was supposed to tweet my posts automatically as well as making me some cash on the side. It did the first well enough, except for the ugly banner on top of my blog for all first time visitors, but it failed to make me any cash, not even a dime. The plugin is no longer on this blog, as I now use feedburner to tweet all new posts.
