One of the advertising beauties of the internet for your online business is that some good digital detective work can dig up the online hotspots where your potential niche market customers hang out and socialize and buzz. Finding these prospects is important, but it's just the first blog promotion step. How do you connect with these like-minded people? And then, how do you move them into your blog sales funnel?
A good place to start is to begin your research with 2 questions:
- Who are your potential targets?
- Who would they follow and network with on Twitter? If they have a blog, what links are on their blogroll? And what experts do YOU follow on Twitter?
Google "Twitter directory". Read the descriptions, and choose one of the top-listed directories. Search for the names you come up with answering question #2. I chose Twellow.com, which also allows you to search by category, so have your keyword list handy. Searching your global niche market can be profitable.
Go to the branded expert's Twitter page and click on "Followers". You see a list. Choose to follow a couple dozen of those who are following the guru. Then see what happens ... how many choose to follow you? Probably a lot.
Every day, spend a few minutes building your Twitter following. At the same time, continue to publish really good, useful information on your blog. Entertain, educate, and enlighten your niche market. And each time you publish a new blog post, tweet it.
Focus on this productivity process every day, every week, and you will create stronger relationships in your personal blog community network. You'll build your list of ezine subscribers, and you'll move more and more prospects into your blog sales funnel.
