Tweet Your Expert Author URL
We’ve begun testing a new Twitter feature that will tweet your EzineArticles Expert Author URL [example] on a frequency that you choose.
Why do this? To share with your followers that you’re an EzineArticles Expert Author, bring more exposure to your articles and build credibility for your expertise over-time.
What’s it look like? [Live tweet examples]
You can find access to this feature from the Social Media tab within your EzineArticles Membership interface, click on “Twitter” and Authorize the link between EzineArticles & your Twitter account. You can revoke these rights at any time.
Two questions to help us improve this feature before we tell all members about it:
- What should the default expert author tweet be?
Right now, it’s this:
- EzineArticles Expert Author, Christopher Knight: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Christopher_Knight
- What should the default tweet frequency be?
- Every 14 Days
- Every 30 Days
- Every 60 Days
- Every 90 Days
- Every ___ Days?
My gut feeling is that we have the default tweet wrong and that it should be more like, “I am an EzineArticles Expert Author: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Christopher_Knight” or “Check out my latest: http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Christopher_Knight”… Open to your thoughts.
Based on the members who have stumbled into this feature over the past few weeks that we’re testing it, the “Every 14 Days” is the default frequency most have been choosing. This is surprising to me as I’d have done every 30 or 90 days personally. Open again to your suggestion for what we should make as our DEFAULT frequency, that members could then change at any time to their preferred default. As of today, the default is NO frequency.
Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts on the above two questions and/or this new feature. Thanks!
Phase 2 or 3 will take into consideration *WHEN* or in which time zone your tweets go out.
Right now, we’re just trying to get this feature out the door and implemented. :-)
