A Simple Little Technique to Help You Get Laser Targeted Twitter Followers
Twitter can prove to be a goldmine if you know how to tap into its massive user base by getting targeted followers.
Here's something that can help you search for people that are laser targeted to your niche (I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this method, but what the heck!)
Step 1 - Go to Twitter (DUH!)
Step 2 - Search for users using long tail keywords that help you find people that are actually facing a problem and are desperately looking for a solution. Yes, yes, I know you want an example ...
Let's take the "weight loss" niche and see what we can come up with ...
Keyword Phrase: "I want to lose weight" -http:// [for all those who don't know, the "-http" search operator removes any URLs from your search results]

Whoa! These people want a solution to their weight problem, and they want it now! Do you think that could help you get started? Of course! It's all about taking the right approach.
Step 3 - Now, all you need to do is follow them and have them follow you back (make sure you have a different Twitter account for every niche that you target) ...
Also, before you start following these users, make sure you have high quality content already posted to your account over a few weeks. Don't start working on this technique with a spankin' new account - first build some reputation and let people come and see what you have to offer; give them a reason to follow you.
This method can be applied to almost any niche where people are looking for a solution to a particular problem, because Twitter is where they VENT it out
Note: Be ready to work hard on this cause it ain't no magic pill!
