So you're tweeting away on Twitter about your latest blog...posting links to industry related articles...engaging with people, and so forth. You've followed some of your favorite folks, tweeted about your favorite place to eat sushi, and others are now following you. Like the dentist in Calgary and the life coach in Scotland.
What about the users in your own backyard? How do you find geographically closer prospects who may be interested in your offer?
Top Ten 'Backyard Tweeting' Tips:
1. Twitter Search. Type in your city's name to access a list of Twitter users in your region. The advanced search feature finds peeps up to a 15 mile radius.
2. Do a simple Twitter search for people tweeting about your area using the # (hashtag). Simply type- #your city name- or abbreviation in the search box.
3. Twellow - (Twitter + yellow pages) is exactly what it sounds like - a listing of Twitter users. Access your region by clicking on Twellowhood, then your location on the map...or type in your city and state.
4. Follow Twitter trending topics. On the right side of your Twitter page, choose the closest city to yours, then watch for topics of interest to follow.
5. NearbyTweets and GeoFollow offer constant listings of your local Twitter pals and their tweets. GeoFollow lets you bulk follow.
6. Why not Tweetup? A meet-up (offline) of nearby Twitter friends arranged - you guessed it -via Twitter. How to find these elusive group blind dates? Try Meetup (an event site with a special section for Tweetups), Twtvite (a site like Evite but for Twitter) and by searching tweetup geographically, on Twitter Search.
7. Localtweeps - started as a localizing site utilizing the hashtag, this one allows you to register and allows others to follow you or click on your website. You can search by zip code as well.
8. Look for apps- there are tons out there and more fresh apps are created every day to help you to find people in your area. TwitterLocal, Twinkle and more.
9. Twitaholic (formerly Twitterholic) -Not affiliated with Twitter, but the top twitter users in the country are listed here...and so are those hot shot Tweeters in your town. Just type in your Twitter ID under "your Twitaholic ranking." Once it comes back, click on the name of your city, next to your stats.
10. Search the lists of your local followers and those that you follow in town. This search is bound to yield some like-minded locals.
