No doubt that Twitter is an excellent social networking tool to promote one's business.

For B2B, Twitter offers many options like If you want to connect with influencers, you can use Twitter to find them and make connections.

Another example with Twitter is you can locate people who have similar interests, which can help you target potential customers. I personally feel Twitter is an effective marketing tool.

So if you are tired of tweeting yourself, then now you can have your own Twitterbot and things are done by the robot i.e. (YATB). Thanks to Martin Hawksey for creating txtservice which is used in YATB.

FAQ:

What is the difference between Free and Pro Version?

The free version allows you to automate Retweet and Favourite whereas in Pro Version you can automate Retweet, Tweets, Favourite, Fetch and Follow any Twitter user as per your rules set. The Pro version is only $9, and this is only a one-time flat payment.

Free version access is for a limited time whereas the Pro version is for the lifetime and fully support via email.

Should I need to keep the YATB spreadsheet open?

Simple answer NO,  YATB is written in Google App Script and so it's run on Google servers and; therefore, it will work even when the Google Sheet is closed.

You can close the sheet, sign out from your Gmail account, or shut down your computer; the TwiterBot YATB will continue to work (run in the background) if you have set the periodically rules (i.e., run every 5/ 10/ 15 /30, etc min).

Is it safe to use YATB security-wise?

Yes, it is, as the YATB copy is stored in your Google Drive and connected with your Twitter App which is created by you. So your sheet and your Twitter app are with you, this means it does not share a single piece of information or data with anyone.
