Automatically link your blog to Twitter

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

I found this earlier and it is very simple to do, but not everyone is doing it.  Make twitter a lot easier to use.  You can link up any rss feed to your twitter account.

If your blog is not already set as an rss feed then go to Feedburner to set up an rss feed for your site.

Once you have done that then go to TwitterFeed, set up an account, then add your feed, give it a name and you are good to go.  You can add multiple twitter accounts as well as multiple feeds so if you have a friends blog that you would like to feed to your twitter account or another blog or some other feed then you are able to do this.  Between this and the blog import on Facebook (see earlier post http://imperiousdesign.com/blog/?p=31) you can truly automate a lot of your effort, then once a quarter compile your blog posts, add a little bit of fresh content and send them out as your newsletter.  You now only have to focus on one thing to generate social media and drive links to your website.

I hope this is beneficial to you and your business!

Build a Facebook Fan Page and ads for your business pt 2

facebookHopefully you all have set up your facebook fan page now.  If not then visit our prior post at http://imperiousdesign.com/blog/?p=16 then come back to this page. We are now going to look at importing your blog or other rss site into your Facebook page.  If you have a blogger page or a hosted blog through wordpress or some other Content Management System you will be able to do this very easily.  If you would like to get a hosted blog that is formated just like your website we would be happy to assist you with that.  Facebook is great to create a feed out of any blog so that they can automatically update the content onto your wall without you doing multiple steps.  You update and they import it into your Facebook fan page wall just like below.

The first step to accomplish this is to add a note section to your fan page.  See below

notes

If it is not under the arrow then you will need to click on the plus sign and this will add the notes section to your page.  Once you are on the notes page then you will choose to “Write a New Note” as seen below.

then on the “Write a New Note” page you will click on the small note icon in the top right of your page as seen here.

that will then bring you to a page showing all of your current notes.  You may then from here “import a blog” as seen in the top right of the page. See next image.

editImport

As seen here it says “edit” since I am already importing my blog.  For your first time it will say “import blog”. Click on that and then come to the next page where you will enter your blog address. For example: http://sample.blogspot.com or http://imperiousdesign.com/blog depending on where your blog is hosted.  Facebook will automatically create the feed to bring it in.

once you have submitted it it will take you to a confirmation page where there is listed your blog posts and you can confirm import as long as it is the correct page. If it is some other content then you may need to check your url. I hope this helped and I would be happy to assist anytime you are in need.
