We spent the last two weeks working hard on Beacon to get it to this point. Now, before we launch, we want to invite you to beta test Beacon as one of the earliest users.
What is Signal Beacon?
Signal auto-tweets your articles on repeat, on your schedule. Pair it with Beacon to get more retweets and likes by teaming up with other people around hashtags you tweet about.First, familiarize yourself with Signal, which auto-tweets your content on repeat, by scheduling your first tweet, because Beacon works with tweets sent via Signal. Once you understand Signal, you can join or create a beacon.
How does Beacon work?
Once you join a beacon with hashtags you're interested in and also tweet with, when any member of the beacon sends a tweet via Signal, all members of the beacon will like and/or retweet the tweet depending on the beacon's settings. That's it.
Of course, to ensure all engagement isn't sent at once, we space out each engagement a minute after the previous. You will never engage with a tweet more than once, even when the same content is tweeted more than once by Signal. When joining or creating a beacon, make sure you understand the kind of engagements that will occur. Some beacons will only like member tweets. Some will only retweet. And others will do both liking and retweeting. Everything is based on the hashtags you choose. When scheduling a new tweet on Signal, you will see the hashtags of beacons you are a member of at the bottom of the form. If your tweet includes any of the qualifying hashtags, that signal will qualify to be engaged with my the appropriate beacon members as described above.
Restrictions
Free users can only join or create one beacon. Pro users ($6.99/month) can join and create unlimited beacons. Of course, Pro users get all of the other benefits of being a Pro on Signal. See our pricing page for more information on the benefits of going Pro.
