What's it cost to use a package?
All of the Tweet Packages on our site are free to use. They cost you nothing. What money we make (or will soon, we hope) comes through advertising.
What, exactly, will the Tweet Package do?
The Tweet Package adds people to your following list, so that you see their tweets. The people it adds are determined by the package creator. The package also adds the package creator as someone you're following. The package also adds searches to the your Saved Searches list, in Twitter.
Who the heck are you people anyway?
If you're wondering who we are, why we did Tweet Packages, and what our business thinking is, see Our Story.
What's it cost to create a package?
You can create your Tweet Package for free. We'll send you the link which you can email to invite people to begin using your Tweet Package. You can put the link on your website, your Facebook page, wherever people might see it.
What do I need to create my package?
You'll want to have the following information when you create your package:
- Your twitter name
- The names of up to five people you want your package users to be signed up to Follow. These are the people they will be automatically following once they've run the Tweet Package (plus you, of course).
- The text for up to three searches you want added to users' Saved Searches.
- A message to include in the pop-up window that appears when they finish running the package. "Here's a Tweet Package you can use to get started with Twitter..."
When you're ready, just click Create a package to create your Tweet Package. That's all there is to it.
What do I get with my package?
Your package will consist of an email with a URL which is unique to your package. Clicking that link is how users run your Tweet Package. You can use the link anywhere: in email, on your website, on Facebook etc.
How do people find and use my package?
They use it simply by clicking the link. They find your package whereever you've placed it. We suggest you email it to people you think might use it, like your cusotmers or prospects. And put it on your website or blog.
In addition, we'll add your package automatically to our directory of free packages, under the appropriate category.
What if I don't want ads showing when people use my package?
We offer two options for creating Tweet Packages. You can create Tweet Packages for free, and we will display a few, relevant ads on some of our pages, including the guidance page that pops-up when the package is finished running. Or, you can pay a one-time fee of $14.99 and we will send you your package, which will run free of ads. Note that these packages will not appear in our package listing.
How do I put the Tweet Package link on my website or blog?
We recommend that you put the graphic link on your website or blog, as it will be the most visible and enticing to users.
To put the graphic on your website, right-click on the graphic below and choose Save Picture As. Then save the graphic to the images location for your website.
Next, put this HTML on the page where you want the graphic to appear:
<a href="[URL]"><img src="[Image_Location]" /></a>
Replace [URL] with the Tweet Package URL we send you. Replace [Image_Location] with the path and filename where you saved the graphic.
To put the URL on your website, put this HTML at the location where you want the link to appear:
<a href="[URL]">Tweet Package</a>
Replace [URL] with the Tweet Package URL we sent you.
