Best WordPress To Twitter Plugin for Marketing

I’m sure you’ve read the stats that tell you, the more social media exposure the better.

This produces more traffic, more links, more search engine traffic and you know what that leads to.

You can publish your posts to Twitter manually or you can use a tool & auto tweet.

So which tool to choose?

WordPress To Twitter Tools

I’ve been using Social Oomph for about 2 years but at $30 a month its more expensive than managed hosting and above the budget for some.

I recently discovered WordTwit which is a free plugin developed by the guys who make the best mobile theme plugin, WPTouch, Brave New Code.

I installed the free version immediately and upgraded to the Pro version the same day.

At 39 bucks for a one off investment its a no brainer because of the time savings and features that work around the clock for you like scheduled tweets.

One of the best features of the pro version is it will clean-up multiple tweets on Twitter as new tweets are published.

Pro WordTwit supports:

multiple accounts
hashtags
scheduling and more

Twitter Hashtag Bonus

If you want your tweets to extend further than your followers, add a popular hashtag. This way your tweets will be visible to everyone following that hashtag and not just limited to your followers.

Conclusion

There’s thousands of WordPress Twitter plugins but there’s nothing as good as this in my opinion. Its a top quality premium plugin which pays for itself many times over and there’s no ongoing fee’s.
