A cool idea to tweet your LetterPOP newsletter
Hey folks, are you ready for a cool way to cheat our system a little? Here’s the deal. When you are a free member, you only get to send a few newsletters. This is due to the cost of the servers, bandwidth, spam compliance, etc. But, you can make a newsletter, and then take the published URL and tweet it out to your followers. Cool idea, eh?
Teachers: yes, there are thousands of you using LetterPOP, and you all ought to be making your students and parents follow you on Twitter so that you can just pump out an occasional tweet and everyone get the message without the messiness of emails. Add to that the fact that you can tweet a newsletter with pictures of the kids working hard on a craft or just an update of class events.
While you are at it, tweet that you need some stuff donated from parents like tissues, hand sanitizer, pencils, and craft paper. Get the parents following you and use Twitter for a nifty and efficient communications tool, and a good way to tweet out LetterPOP newsletters.
One more tip: use bit.ly or tiny.cc to shorten your letterpop.com newsletter’s URL, and you can use their service to track your clicks.
(one more tip: we’ll be adding a built-in tweet function in the Spring of this year)
