How To Monitor Twitter Success When You Don't Have Time To Tweet

By 67 Comments

This is a guest post from Ileane of Basic Blog Tips. My readers probably already know Ileane from her many Blogging Tutorials, her Blogging Tips Videos on YouTube and her many guest posts and interviews across the blogosphere.

TweetboardDeveloping a successful social media strategy doesn’t happen overnight. Even with the never-ending supply of Twitter apps we can choose from to automate and manage our followings, at some point in time we still need to show up! On the other hand, many of us have decided to outsource our social strategy into the hands of someone who we can only hope is qualified for the task.

But first we must establish realistic goals and come to a mutual understanding with our new found freelancer. Perhaps we want to to drive more traffic to our site, find more qualified leads, or simply increase brand awareness.

Some social media goals are more difficult to measure than others. However here’s a handy website that we can use to easily monitor engagement and the growth of our social network.

How to Monitor Twitter Success with TweetBoard.me


Tweetboard.me is a website that allows you to check basic statistics for any Twitter user. I recommend this site because it gives an overview with in-your-face statistics, which can be easily understood by anyone, no matter what level of social media expertise they have.

It combines raw statistics, such as the number of followers, following and tweets, with familiar metrics and graphical charts that everyone in business is accustomed to using.

STATS PROVIDED by Tweetboard:

  • Twitter profileMonitor Twitter Success with TweetBoard.me
  • Number of followers/following
  • Total number of Tweets
  • Klout Score (hopefully the score is not in “The Red Zone”)
  • Twitter Rank across all of Twitter
  • Twitter stream
  • Twitter Mentions
  • Friends wall
  • Follower Growth chart
I suggest that you take a screenshot at the beginning of your
social media campaign and then check it every 10 – 14 days
(or at least once per month) to make sure things are
moving in the right direction.

Don’t be alarmed if you find your numbers hit a plateau, but if things start going in the negative direction you won’t be in the dark for long. This will give you plenty of time to make the necessary changes to your strategy before things get out of hand.

Let me take you on a 3 minute tour in – Introduction to TweetBoard.me for viewing Twitter Stats:

TweetBoard.me pulls valuable information about your Twitter account from several sources and displays them all in one dashboard that anyone can access without a password or complicated navigation menus.

TweetBoard: Just right for someone who
knows the importance of Twitter,
but doesn’t have time to Tweet.

NOTE from Gail at GrowMap: Ileane is one of the DoFollow CommentLuv bloggers I regularly recommend who is as big an advocate for CommentLuv as I am so I do hope you’re following @Ileane and @BasicBlogTips on Twitter and reading her Basic Blog Tips blog.

Even I can not keep up with all her guest posts! And I don’t know how she has time to learn, review and do so many video reviews of new products and solutions.

  1. Thank you Ileane for delivering such a helpful tool! From my experience, I can recommend SocialBro app. It provides all the stats you need and indicates those who do not follow you while you follow them.

  11. I’m all for anything that can help keep track of any progress made on social media. This seems to give some useful information on the important factors. Thanks for the walk-through video.

  13. It’s hard to keep track anymore, there are so many websites and free tools that we can use for monitoring or improving our twitter accounts. But since growmap is a really good site, and I’ve used most of the software that you guys have recommended in the past, this should be no different. 🙂 Thanks!

  14. Great tips as always Ileane. I didn’t know about Tweetboard.me and since I am in the beginning stages of learning how to really use social media, it was right on time for me. So thanks for that.

    @Gail,
    I have to agree with you on that. I really dont know who she can mange to write on her own blog, work on blogengage and comment and guest posts on so many blogs while maintaining her own blogs. Ileane, whats your secret? Spill the beans please!

    • Satrap, thanks for the kind words. Just to give you a little insight, I was getting somewhat overloaded so I did step down from the position at Blog Engage. But on the other hand I started an audio podcast and I continue to add tutorials to my YouTube channel, so I guess you could say I just keep going and going just like that little energizer bunny. 🙂

  16. Another Twitter app? I am not sure I would use all these apps as they seem to become just another thing to do. I wonder how much value Twitter adds anymore, with everything so automated.

    Reply

    • Hi Julie, my purpose here was not to introduce another app to people who are already over whelmed with apps. On the contrary, it was intended to provide information to those who don’t have much experience with Twitter and it’s not ready to wade through them all to find simple statistics.

  17. Thanks for the link to the site as it can be really valuable for the work with Twitter. In general I trust all the freelancer workers, well at the same time why not to check them from time to time.

    • Thanks for the compliment 🙂 (smile again for you). MarketMeSuite is going well, though have just tried it with twitter yet and they have been having some updates going on, so the flow is not all that good as yet. Love the video and gave you my thumbs up on it. 🙂

  21. Donah, if you’re interested in ways you can improve your Klout score, be sure to read my post on Klout called Add Klout to your Social Profile. I’ve included a screencast in that post that shows you how to remove topics from your Klout profile that aren’t relevant to your niche and I also give instructions for encouraging your friends to give you +K on topics that are in your area of expertise. Let me know if you still have questions. http://basicblogtips.com/klout-social-profile.html

    • Hi Jeanie, it’s not easy to keep up with the plethora of Twitter apps that crop up on a daily basis. I signed up for Pluggio about 3 months ago and the other day, they emailed me to say – Check out your Tweetboard! As soon as I saw it I recorded that video and uploaded it to YouTube. If you had a chance to watch the video, let me know what you think about it. Thanks.

    • Hi Devashish,

      I edited this comment to show you how KeywordLuv or CommentLuv Premium with keywords turned on lets you put your name and keywords in the name field but only links the keyword phrase.

      Most bloggers will not approve comments this short that say so little; however, if you will take the time to contribute more to the conversation and learn from the blogs where you comment, many will welcome you as a regular reader and contributor and not mind allowing you to have a link in their blog.

      SEO is not going to be nearly as important as the search engines stop sending us traffic because they are favoring only other big brands. There will also be fewer searches as people ask others they know online for recommendations and links.

      What is important is building relationships – especially with other bloggers who are interested in the same things you are. I don’t even know what PSD is and wouldn’t know what to do with what you write.

      Some of my readers may, but it makes more sense for you to become a regular reader and contributor in blogs where that kind of thing is what they talk about all or at least a good part of the time.

  27. Never knew about this today and man oh man I like it! I’m one of those people who’s not devoting enough time to Twitter and this tool can remind me of how important it is.

  28. Hi Ileane,

    Do you happen to know if Tweetboard and Market Me Suite are comparable, or would it make sense to use both of them?

    thanks!
    Michael

    Reply

    • Michael, I haven’t used MarketMeSuite but I read quite a few reviews. From what I know, these two are not comparable. MarketMeSuite has lots of different functions involving Facebook and Twitter management. TweetBoard is more like a dashboard that gives you a snapshot of your progress over time. However, the people who make Tweetboard.me also created Pluggio which is more robust and on the same level with MarketMeSuite. I recommend you take a look at Pluggio too.
      Hope that helps.

    • Hi Annie, I like how Klout is integrated into this dashboard. It’s so convenient to have all those relevant stats in one place.

      Reply

    • Homeforgeeks, I actually use Pluggio, which is another social media management tool for more advanced users. Tweetboard.me is sort of a spin off of the full version of Pluggio and I know that a lot of people aren’t familiar with it, which is the reason I recorded the YouTube video. Thanks for stopping by with your feedback.

    • Mike, I’m a HootSuite fan and I know they have similar features. I’ve a done video tutorial for HootSuite that explains the difference between the ht.ly and ow.ly link shorteners. Now that Twitter owns Tweetdeck I think the links will be shortened with t.co from now on.
