So you are working your butt off writing articles for Helium and are getting upfront payments for them but you are not sure how to promote them? There are many ways to do this, and one is through the very popular website called Twitter. While you could take the time out to log into twitter and post a new "tweet" each time you submit an article to Helium linking to it, there is an easier way to do this. First of all you will need (obviously) a Helium account, then you should make a twitter account. On top of that you need to go to Twitterfeed and make an account there as well. If you have a Google or Yahoo account you can use those to log into TwitterFeed without creating a new user name and password. It might all seem like a lot of mess and much work but trust me, it is just a one time thing and once you set it up all of the work will be done for you.
How to set up your Helium RSS feed to Twitter:
- Create a Twitter account and write down your user name and password.
- Create a TwitterFeed account.
- Click the "Create New Feed" button in the TwitterFeed Dashboard.
- Now you will need to go to Helium and find out the URL to your About Me page.
- Log out of your Helium account and go to your About Me page while still being logged out.
- Click on the icon just to the left of the address bar (between the address bar and the Home icon) and a small window will pop up.
- Click the More Information button and another window will open in which you will see different tabs.
- Click on the tab with theRSS logo on it. You should now see a link there, this is the RSS feed URL for your About Me page.
- Go back to the tab with your TwitterFeed, in which you had started to create a new feed.
- You can type in "Helium" into the Feed Name field and into the RSS Feed URL field enter the URL link which you just found for your About Me page.
- You are now done!
What this does is, each time you submit an article to Helium the TwitterFeed will post a new Twitter message with a link to the article for you. Easy enough, isn't it?
Please note, while this will create posts to your Twitter account it does not mean that you will automatically receive hits. Go to your Twitter account and start following some people so you get followed in return. The point is to have as many people as possible to see your posts so they would read your articles.
