Questions we are discussing now
Q1 How did you become social media marketer? What’s your career path?
Accidentally. Was trying to sell a book and wound up here. Post sale of earlier biz.
Twitter has been making some changes. Are they going to pull through the difficulties, Tim? #vcbuzz

The best thing for Twitter is to harness the momentum of their users. Flow versus force.
May the force be with you ? RT @alphabetsuccess: RT @DonSturgill: No doubt, Tim. Leverage the force. #vcbuzz

I dove into content, search & social media after more traditional background. Quit job & started helping businesses navigate it all #vcbuzz

Q2 What is Tweetjukebox.com? Who and how came up with the idea and how did you become involved?
TweetJukeBox.com is a Twitter content management. Originally designed for me by a friend. Launched in February. Sick of scheduling content when the effort isn’t value add for community.
@alphabetsuccess is it free? #vcbuzz
— Jessy Troy (@jessytroy) November 24, 2015
Yes. A limited scale version of Tweet Jukebox is free.
@alphabetsuccess what’s your favorite feature? why did you decide to join the project? #vcbuzz
— Ann Smarty (@seosmarty) November 24, 2015
For me, the automation was key. For evergreen content, nobody cares about delivery method. It was my project from onset. So, involved by default. Idea to make it a product came later.
Q3 How can Tweetjukebox.com help make anyone’s Twitter marketing more effective? What’s your personal favorite feature?
Automate your outbound with TweetJukeBox.com so you can engage your community and develop and curate great content.

— David Leonhardt (@amabaie) November 24, 2015
The jukeboxes are the key. Specific frequency, random delivery. Simple but powerful.
A3 I love the ability to add my most important posts to my box to scale their promotion #vcbuzz

Q5 Twitter is real time and hard to scale. Please share your favorite productivity tools (both Twitter-related and beyond)
Best productivity tool? Know what your real goal is. Don’t chase BS metrics.
A5 StayFocused for Chrome is good one to remind me to work ? #vcbuzz
— Jessy Troy (@jessytroy) November 24, 2015
BS Metric – tons of followers but no engagement. Lots of RTs but no sales. Great Klout, but no clout.
