Does social media automation actually work?
Guest social media post contributed by James Agate, founder of Skyrocket SEO. Find me on Twitter (@jamesagate)
Let me introduce you to a little experiment of mine. Dubbed Newsrush, it’s a twitter based news aggregator. I created it back in 2010 by doing nothing more than registering on Twitter, aggregating multiple news feeds using xfruits and then setting up Twitterfeed to publish up to 5 posts every 30 minutes. Total time investment around 15 minutes.
I decided against the usual route of adding hundreds or even thousands of followers because it has almost been proven beyond doubt that mass friending generates a following.
The point of the experiment was to see if people actually value an automated curator and to determine how easy it is to gather followers without following them first. › Continue reading
Think small and increase mobile web presence
I’ve just been reading a nice little article on WebUser.co.uk entitled Mobile web usage boosted by twitter and it reminded me of some things I was talking about not so long ago.

Selling domains on social networks
Week three of my selling domains on social networks series of posts. For those of you who are SDOSN virgins, this series of weekly posts sees me using Twitter and Mix to market a selection of now 74 domain names, all listed on Sedo with no reserve (so yes you can bid on them) Each week I report back the statistics showing whch domains names were viewed most frequently and which social network, Twitter or Mixx contributed the most referrals/visitors. And hopefully sales! Although in three weeks we have only seen two sales and one of those was actually before I started the posts…hmm. Anyway let us proceed and see how things have faired over the last 3 weeks. Oh and excuse the totally crap graphic design this week. I seriously need to sort out my skills on photoshop…Paint just doesn’t cut it! › Continue reading
