5 Twitter Tips to Find Coupons Online

resource: savings.com
Have you hopped on Twitter yet? If not, you may be missing out on fabulous coupons and discounts. Here are my top five tips to find money-saving coupons using Twitter:

1) Follow Your Favorite Stores. Where do you like to shop? Make a quick list of your favorites, then head to Google. Type the name of the store and then the word "Twitter." For example, I just typed in "Banana Republic" and "Twitter" into the search box. So now I'm following @BananaRepublic. The very first tweet was a 40% off coupon code good on all jewelry!

2) Build Twitter Lists. Create separate lists within your Twitter account so you can see on one screen tweets from all your favorite stores. This way you'll be among the first to find out about coupons and special deals.

3) Seek Out Popular Deal Tweets. Stop by Summize.com and type in the name of your favorite retailer along with the word "coupon" to see what pops up. You can also check out CheapTweet or TweetMeSavings for the most popular deal tweets in various categories.

4) Use Twitter Bots to Save Money. Give TinyMassive or CouponBot a whirl. With TinyMassive, send a tweet to @TinyMassive with the name of the product you want to buy. The bot will send back to you the lowest price found along with a link to product search results. Sending a tweet to @CouponBot with the name of a store will net you links to coupons to use at that retailer.

5) Track Hashtags. Follow hashtags like #coupon, #coupons, #bargains, #freebie and #freebies to find great deals. Just enter the hashtags in the search box on your Twitter page to see the most recent tweets.
