Tireless Twitter Bot Will Run Your Account IndefinitelyWhile my Tireless Twitter Bot makes marketing easier, keep in mind people are not stupid. If you aren't maintaining your Twitter profile frequently, they will quickly catch on and you will lose followers! I wrote this tutorial for individuals who are using social media to promote their business or blog. Because I understand what it's like when you are first starting out with online marketing. All social media platforms throw advertising options and expensive ad options in your face from the very begining To think, you haven't even made any money yet and they expect you to invest! The bottom line as with any business, you invest as little as possible and gain as much as possible. I'm not saying Paid advertising is a no go, but until you're actually generating revenue, risking capitol is utterly rediculous! If being "The White Trash Web Developer" doesn't tip you off, I'm all about web design on a budget lol! Automation Enables You To Accomplish Multiple Tasks.From somewhere or other, be it a Youtube video, or a blog, you discovered there is such a thing that exists called a twitter bot that runs your account for you. Obviously API integration with any social media platform is an excellent idea and can be absolutely game breaking if used right! Furthermore, my <em>Tireless Twitter Bot</em> is ideal for a variety of needs. However you probably aren't looking to master programming Python, or learn any code whatsoever for that matter! So if you're looking for a fast and easy solution to get a Twitter bot up and running so you can focus on marketing and putting some money in your pocket, this tutorial's for you! My Twitter bot uses two very simple, but very effective tools that will literally enable your bot to run indefinitely! Furthermore, it wont have any annoying limitations or schemes behind it to lure you into paying money for it, it will work for FREE! IFTTTThe purpose of using IFTTT is to prevent Twitter from ghosting our account. What does Ghosted Mean? Rather than banning or suspending an account Twitter has determined to be advertising to much or "Spamming" they have opted to use a different tactic. Knowing full and well a spammer will simply make a new account and get right back to what they were doing previously, Twitter just essentially takes the accounts ability to annoy and communicate with the rest of it's community. While this doesn't indefinitely stop a spammer, it takes the individual more time to realize what is occurring and further slows their progression. Twitter has several mechanisms in place to detect if something is being repetitive or very spammy with advertising. Because Twitter wants to keep people online, and the environment fun and lively, they will prevent what they consider "automated behavior". (Kind of odd considering they give you an API Integration APP specifically for the purpose of Automation lol!) Permanent Ghost Ban Vs Temporary Ghost Ban. There are two types of ghost statuses Twitter will annoy you with. If you do something early on that Twitter deems to be severe enough, identifying you as a likely spammer, they will permanently ghost your account. You wont be able to add or follow anyone and the account is essentially worthless at that point, time to make a new one lol! Twitter's temporary suspension comes as a result of repeating the same content. If you keep cycling through the same 30-200 things, Twitter will eventually detect the repetitious pattern. You'll be temporarily removed out of Google's index and your twitter posts will only be visible to people who directly visit your profiles url! This can be really easily alleviated however. After your account shows that it is engaging other Twitter members, and not just sharing your own content repetitively, the temporary ghost status will be lifted from your account and you'll again be able to engage your audience. Because of this, we need something to not only share <strong>OUR </strong>content, but also make Twitter happy by engaging other peoples content. Head Over To IFTTT.COM And Setup Your AccountOddly enough, this powerful tool wont even require you to verify the validity of your email address in the registration process. After completing the registration, we will need to download "Retweet specific user". Because we want to trick Twitter as well as our followers, retweet 2-3 accounts. The images below illustrate Adding 2 Hashtags to all retweets and how to recreate the same IFTTT multiple times. For the Second Part of Your Tireless Twitter Bot You Need Google Drive Access.Zac Whalen's Google Script Bot (v 0.5.1) DOWNLOAD Goto Apps.Twitter.Com and creat a new AppDon't worry it's easy (No coding promise lol!) For the second component of our twitter bot you will need to be logged into your Google account so we can use Zack Whalen's Twitter bot Google Spreadsheets script! First we will need to prepare ourselves a Twitter App so head over to: Apps.Twitter.Com Go ahead and create a Twitter App filling in all the necessary fields. It really doesn't matter what you put, just be sure to leave the callback URL blank for now. Change The Bot's PermissionsSelect the permissions tab, and choose the third bullet option:Read, Write and Access direct messages The next thing we will need to do is copy these two permission keys onto the spreadsheet:
Select the Keys and Access Tokens tab and copy them into "Step 3" of the spreadsheet. Copy the callback url with a right click and copy.WARNING! You can NOT have White Scape! when you paste it into the settings tab in the Twitter Apps, make CERTAIN you don't leave any white space (hit backspace once lol) it will mess up the bot if you don't! FinallyNow that's out of the way, to finish this bot first generate preview. Next, send a test tweet and sync google and twitter together. The bot just needs to be told what tweets to output from the sheet's archive and its ready! Congratulations!You have a bot ready to fire up! but first, I'm sure you'd like to know how to specify what you want it to do lol! In the settings tab be sure and choose Columns for the constructor. Next specify how frequently you want the bot to tweet, it can go as rapid as 5 minutes a tweet, depending on your preference. Next head over to the columns section. How this bot works when using the columns option is pretty simple. each row the bot will pick a random selection so if you have b1 to b50 and c1 to c50 it will pick randomly from those 2, you can ad as many rows as you want. Be sure when adding urls to remove the http:// or https://www. out of the url or it wont work. If you wish to tweet any images what you do is initially tweet the first one manually then click the analytics button at the bottom of the tweet and pull the pic.twitter.blabla url I'll drop an image of it. Need More Than One Bot?I thought you might need more than one bot lol! When it comes to Twitter, like many social platforms the verification process can require multiple phones and emails.
If you want an easy way to make hundreds of Twitter accounts with one phone and one Google Email address Be sure to check out my infinite Twitter Account Tutorial! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial I have many more to come! Enjoy your new twitter bot! How To Make Multiple Twitter Accounts Effeciently
