How To Use The RSS Feed Manager

First thing first, lets explain what RSS Feeds are and how they can benefit you and your business.

RSS Feed Manager lets you automatically post any blog feeds to your Twitter Accounts. You can also update any other RSS feeds you have, for example we automatically tweet updates to this app!

The benefits?
More feeds means greater public exposure resulting in an increased market audience! It streamlines your ability to communicate to your readers and followers making marketing and your business news easily accessible and available. MarketMeSuite offers limitless feeds so there is no restriction to the amount you can post :)

So, now to explain how you use this awesome feature. It really is easy!

Click on the “RSS Feed Management” tab in your MarketMeSuite control bar.

From there, click on “Add Feed” in the top left corner:

Copy your Feed URL into the pop up box (MMS feed example included)

Once that has been done, click “Add”

A list of your available Twitter accounts will now show up.  Simply choose which accounts you wish the feeds to post to by dragging and dropping them into the right hand column or clicking on the top arrow icon:

Choose a prefix / suffix if you wish. For example, if you wish it to be listed as a “Retweet” because you are tweeting someone else’s feed, then put RT @twitterusername in the prefix. If you’d like a signature or hashtag to go in the suffix, you’d put that in the suffix section.

Here is an example of how to set it up:

Then click “Finish”

From the example above, any tweet from this set up would tweet out any blog post on the Twitter account “PieDogMedia” from the site: MarketMeSuite.com and would be in this format:

RT @marketmesuite “Name of Blog…link” #TKF

(please note, name of blog post and link will be generated automatically)

RSS Feeds are not limited to just Twitter, you can add them to your Facebook accounts AND your Facebook Pages! Just click on “Edit”  in the Facebook/Pages columns and add the accounts of your choice in the same way as you did with your Twitter ones.

 

The only thing left to do now is turn it on! Make sure you check the box in the “Turn On” column and there you have it! Add as many as you like or need.

Please note, due to Twitter security issues about storing your brand currently you cannot brand RSS Feed Tweets.
