CheapTweet Blog

If you’ve got deals to tell people about, then we want those deals on CheapTweet!  It’s really easy to get your deals, sales, specials, discounts and coupons on CheapTweet.com. So easy, in fact, that you don’t have to do anything!  We find deals for our site automatically, so all you need to do is talk about them on Twitter.

First, you need a Twitter account. All our deals come from Twitter, so if you’re not tweeting, then you can’t get a deal on CheapTweet.

Next, just post your deals on Twitter. Our search engine will find them automatically and add them to CheapTweet.com, where visitors can find and vote on your deals. You can tweet deals for your own store or company, a friend’s store, or even just a good deal you find somewhere.

That’s all there is to it! There are a few guidelines, however, that can help you make sure we find your deals.

1. Always include a link. On CheapTweet, we only include deals with a link.  You can link to a store, a specific product, a blog post, a printable coupon, whatever. Just make sure there’s a link.
2. Tell us something specific about your deal. We’re particularly interested in sales, coupons and specials, not your regular low prices. Include some descriptive detail about what the sale or discount is (x% off, free shipping, etc…).
3. Consider using the #cheaptweet hashtag. Just include this hashtag in a tweet you want to be sure we find.  This is optional, but could help us find something we might not otherwise see.
4. Don’t repost the same link over and over. This won’t increase your vote count; in fact, it will hurt your vote count.
5. You don’t need to DM or reply to us with deals. Just post a regular tweet about a deal and we’ll find it.
6. Tell your friends to vote for your deals. You don’t have to log in to vote, so spread the word to all your friends. Use the short link in the Share menu under your deal to post your deal to Twitter. We post the most popular deals (those with the most votes) on our front page.
7. Create a CheapTweet account. Once you have a CheapTweet account, you can track your deals on the site and see what your Twitter friends are up to.

If you follow @cheaptweet on Twitter, we’ll send you a direct message when one of your deals gets on the site.  That way, you’ll always know when we’re posting your deals.  And feel free to send us a message (support@cheaptweet.com) if you tweeted a deal that’s not showing up on the site or if you have any other questions about how to get your deals on CheapTweet.

We’ve got more than 230,000 deals, coupons, sales and specials to choose from on CheapTweet! Here’s a brief overview of how to find the best deals.

You can browse through deals by category, including fashion, electronics and lots more. You can also search for particular stores, products or other keywords. And you can see the most popular deals on our Cheapest Tweets page.

When you find a deal you like, you can vote on it so others will also know it’s a good deal. Anyone can vote on deals; you don’t have to sign in to vote. Just click the blue It’s Cheap button next to the deals you like.

But you can also create a free CheapTweet account to keep track of the deals you vote on and save so you can find them later.  Once you have a CheapTweet account, you can link that up to your Twitter account and see what deals your Twitter friends are voting on and tweeting about.

So, why not head over to CheapTweet and check out all the great deals? If you have any questions about how CheapTweet works, let us know on Twitter or via email.

We’ve added some awesome new social features to CheapTweet this week! You can still find the best deals, discounts, coupons and sales on Twitter, but now you can also connect your CheapTweet account to your Twitter account.

CheapTweet users can connect with their Twitter friends who also use CheapTweet. Once you link your CheapTweet and Twitter accounts, you see what your Twitter friends are up to on CheapTweet, including the deals they’ve tweeted as well as the deals they’ve voted on, which can help you find other great deals you might like. You can also see a lot more about your own CheapTweet history. You can track your votes and save deals you want to remember later.
