How to Use Twitter Search to Increase Followers
I mentioned in my last post how you can use Twitter to get new customers simply by answering questions. But, if you don’t know how to find tweople who are asking questions then this simple way of getting new Customers won’t be that simple.
So, without further ado I will explain how to use Twitter Search to increase followers and potential customers.
How to Use Twitter Search to Increase Followers and Potential Customers
*You want to find people who are talking about or asking questions about your Niche. For this example we will use DVD Players…. as if you run a DVD Player Business.*
- Go to Twitter Search and enter "DVD-Players" into the box (without
the quotes around it). Press enter. It will look something like:
- Read through the Realtime results for dvd-players and see if there is anybody
asking questions that you can answer. Or, perhaps just have a conversation
with one of the tweople. Remember that Twitter is not about one side talks,
but instead it Twitter
should be a conversation.
- Here are some examples of some of the tweets the tweople left and possible
replies you could leave in response to them. This will give you an idea of
how to have a conversation with them. And also how to use Twitter Search to
answer questions and as part of the customer service end of your business.

- Below is a really cool tweet. Yes, there isn’t a question to answer, but
I bet you could come up with something cute that would make you stand out.
Something that will cause @ladybugbows
to follow you. How about this???
Reply with something cute to get their attention like, "A family that has their own DVD Players Stays Together".
- Here is a really great chance to make a person from Twitter into a customer….
Offer a Coupon Code:
- Straight forward questions need straight forward answers.
Just as if you were handling customer service at your place of business, answer questions via phone calls or emails… Twitter can be a medium that you can handle customer service as well. Answer questions where you can and become known as a Specialist in your field.
- If you know something that others don’t know share your knowledge. This
tweeter’s DVD Player lost his power cord due to a hungry pet….. he needs
help. Can you help?
But, what if you knew something that could help? Offer the tip or suggestions…. you might even get a sale from it.
And that is pretty much it. See how easy that is and yet Twitter Search can be super powerful way to not only increase your Twitter Followers, but to increase your Customers.
