- Hey everyone, in today's video,
we're gonna be taking a look at the Twitter dashboard
for your Twitter account.
Now, if you're like me and you're a power user of Twitter,
and you like to schedule out your tweets,
maybe you're using Buffer or Hootsuite.
Twitter offers the same thing for free,
and a whole bunch of other tools that you can use,
right inside
the Dashboard.
So, let's get started.
Okay, so we're over on dashboard.twitter.com,
and I'll leave the link down in the description below.
You'll have to login to your Twitter account,
and I'm also on the desktop/laptop type of situation here.
They do have a Dashboard app,
which you can get the same features.
All right, let's start over on the left hand side
in this navigation area.
We have About you, which is all the things
that Twitter thinks are related to you,
and we'll get to that in a minute
and how you can edit that.
You get Your Tweets, so all the things that I've tweeted
in the last day or so.
And then you have your Timeline,
and this is what everyone that you follow
is tweeting about currently.
And then you'll have something down here
called Security Feed, and the ability to add a new feed,
and I'll get to that in a little bit.
Let's take About you,
so we'll click over back over there,
and you noticed here there's a
gentleman here named David Bradley
who is offering the temperature
somewhere in
God knows where, somewhere called South Lawrence.
Obviously, that's not related to me,
so what I can do is I can go into Edit,
and I can say,
here's what people should be talking about,
here's something that's related to me.
And so, I can put in Larry Snow.
Now, if you click under Show advanced filters,
you have the ability to remove things
that aren't related to your business.
So I can do Larry comma Snow,
and I can do
South,
space, Lawrence.
Or just Snow in general.
And that will eliminate a lot of the
clutter that I usually get that
Twitter thinks is about me.
When you're done with your edits,
you'll click on Save,
and then your About you feed is much more specific
to actually about you.
Now, moving down, you can go to Your Tweets,
pretty simple there.
You can actually create a tweet here.
Type in anything you want.
You can add an image from your desktop, laptop,
or your photo library on your phone,
you can add in a gif, and you can tweet it out.
But here's the neat thing,
you can actually click this down arrow,
and it says schedule a tweet.
Now, if we click on that,
we're presented with this little
scheduling app here.
And so, we can schedule the time and the day
we want this tweet to go out,
and it doesn't have to be in the next 10 days.
We can keep on going, all the way out,
whenever day we want, whatever time we want.
Now, if you want an expanded version of this
and really get to town here,
click on the Create at the very top here,
at the top navigation.
And down here you'll have your queue.
You can add in all the days of the week.
So this already picked up what we were looking at.
I can select a date in the future, we'll say 12:30,
we'll say the 22nd.
We'll do a gif, agree,
there you go.
And then we can schedule the tweet.
And it will show up down here,
in your somewhat of a calendar system.
So it's similar to Buffer or Hootsuite.
You don't have to do just one tweet per day,
you can keep on adding
more and more tweets.
So that's a great functionality of the Dashboard.
So you don't even have to go
to your profile to tweet something.
Next we go into Analytics.
Now in a previous video I did the
four Twitter tools for your business,
one of the ones was your analytics.
But you get your analytics
right inside your Twitter Dashboard.
And we just take a scroll down,
we have 59 new followers,
258 visits and views,
tweet impressions,
so you can get it right here inside the Dashboard.
Let's go back to Home.
So we talked about Your Tweets,
we talked about your Timeline.
Now we get into feeds.
Now you can add a new feed,
and I associate this kinda like a Twitter search,
where you can actually have a saved search,
but one of the neat things that you can do here,
unlike you can do in a Twitter search,
is actually exclude items from a particular tweet.
So we can say
let's do hashtag wordcamp,
and we can hit enter,
then we hit
wordpress
and for the exclude item,
we'll just do php.
And now we have a nice filtered,
we can take a look at it,
a nice filtered feed
that we can just grab,
take a look at on the go,
and then we just give a title,
we'll just call it WordPress Feed,
and click Done, and then click Save.
And now we have it added to our Dashboard homepage.
And we can just flip flop
between Security and WordPress on the fly.
Now to delete anything on your feed,
you can just click on the Edit button,
and you just click on the trashcan, delete.
So there you go, that is the Twitter Dashboard
for free, from Twitter, what could be better?
Go check it out.
Thanks for watchin', I really appreciate it.
