Interesting little video. Great idea to get some sense of what people are talking about. I do not use Twitter or facebook, etc. so would never have thought to check them out for this. Thanks.
Thanks, good info. I see that search box there all the time but haven’t thought to use it for the market research piece. Dah! Now I know how people find and follow me.
Just a warning, don’t hit too many people with this at once or Twitter will suspend your account. I learned the hard way. The site I’m building and products I’ll be selling and promoting are all geared towards stress releif. As you might guess, about every minute or so someone on twitter tweets that they are stressed out. I pinged one after the other with a friendly (not even salesy) comment, and a couple days later Twitter said I was spamming and suspended my account.
That’s really cool. I’m on twitter and I’ve used the search tool to find followers, but not with the marketing angle. Thanks very much for sharing!

Thank you Ezra. I attended 2 seminars last February on twitter and didn’t learn as much as it did from you 3-4 minute video. I am definitely going to check it out.
I tried this and am confused about something. In the video, you show a search from the twitter home page without being logged into your account. This search tool is not the same once you are logged into your account. I tried the same search from the home page and logged in and got different results. Also there is no way to reply unless you are logged in, so it is a bit confusing.
Also think we need to be aware of the spamming thing as Jarrod talked about.
Wow! Thanks for that- I have paid in the past for Twitter tutorials and they didn’t tell me what you have for free. It’s obvious – only when someone points that out to you- brilliant.
I get the audio but no video. I’ve tried two browsers and get the same result.
I like the idea since my website will be up and running before long.

Great tip, Ezra! Thank you… i just ran a search right now and found lots of people tweeting about my subject. Awesome!
On another note… I’m blown away by what David has done with his book and everything it birthed. His free book campaign was like watching a MASTER at work, and with such a huge heart!
I’d love to invite David to be on the staff of a book class I’m co-hosting in August to talk about the success of his free book campaign. What would be the best way to schedule a quick call to discuss the possibilities?
Thank you!

I had just followed your advice re:the wonder wheel, and had followed link to link for hours! Was about to sign out of gmail when I saw your new gift!
Bravo, Ezra. This is my next step! Thank you. And my birthday is still 4 days away!

Hi , David, Thank you for the gift, I appreciate you and all you’re doing. I didn’t take your offer, because at this time I’m committed to something that is taking my focus completely, I wish you well and thanks again. Clea
@davidwood99
David it was you!!My regrets, I thought it was made by Ezra (who gave the wonder wheel on faculty call, Wednesday).
Thank you, David! Another example of how you just keep on giving, spontaneously, beyond original offers.
Awesome info! As always information is coming to me at just the right time! Thank you for the sweet “free gift”. My advice and request- keep ‘em coming.
I stayed away from Twitter because I figured FB sucked enough of my time away. However, from a marketing perspective, I find your ideas brilliant. I will keep those ideas in mind when I am ready to offer my services. Thank you!
Hi – David is just showing how to use twitter to promote – there are plenty of other places to get traffic from. Do a google search and you should see something.
Also, when searching Twitter – try other words associated with parenting. Then, when someone asks a question that your product helps, you can reply.
Hope this helps. Don’t give up just based on one marketing suggestion.
The Twitter search function is horrific. I would not use it as a first strike tool when determining a niche. Don’t be disappointed in what you see based on your searches there. There are many more criteria when determining a niche. Take a look at Gordon Training’s Twitter account and those followed/following and you’ll get a better idea of the topics your audience is talking about daily.
AWESOME stuff – thank you so much. Very soon I will be sharing with you how many people we are reaching and helping via your input and guidance and my niche experience.
Thanks Ezra,
I never did know what Twitter was, but what a great idea, I’m starting to write kids story books and that would be a great place to go. Great bonus there.
I wouldn’t search for those things if I was a parent. I might type “how can I make my child behave?” or “perhaps I’m a bad mother” or “how do I be a better parent”
Thank you so much. I have a twitter account and did not know how to do either of these things. Thank you. Actually probably more effective than the google keyword tool in some ways. Wow, guys, good to go.
I found the video very interesting and added to other information I learned at a writer’s workshop. I have my first novel in print through Xlibris. I have also uploaded some work on to the “Smashwords” site. Since I returned home I have been madly proof reading to move my writing into the public eye. I’m trying to connect to all media to advertise.
The Twitter insights left me feeling, WOW! So much value in a few brief minutes. So helpful with what I am currently working on in developing my biz. Thanks for your generosity:)
I enjoyed the short message and will be applying it for a presentation I’m giving at work. I’ll use Tweeter to see what people are saying about a specific topic.
A really easy tip to start applying immediately for brainstorming too.
Thanks Ezra, fab! I thought Twitter was more of a waste of time, but this will be incredibly useful. Better get on it now and start the market research in this market place as well. Cheers!

@ezra and @davidwood99
Great tip on using Twitter! I do similar research on Amazon to see the books that are out there on a topic and what comments people leave about them.
Thanks,

This is such a good idea. I did not know about doing the search in this way. thanks for the good tip!

Thanks Ezra and David. That search tip is really useful! Twitter allows 140 characters – wish it was 40 words!
June 12th, 2010 at 10:37 am
I wouldn’t search for those things if I was a parent. I might type “how can I make my child behave?” or “perhaps I’m a bad mother” or “how do I be a better parent”
June 12th, 2010 at 11:14 am
Thank you so much. I have a twitter account and did not know how to do either of these things. Thank you. Actually probably more effective than the google keyword tool in some ways. Wow, guys, good to go.
June 12th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Thanks! Ithought Twitter was just a social place, but I know I have to learn about using it and FB for business & advertising purposes.
Thanks again!

I found the video very interesting and added to other information I learned at a writer’s workshop. I have my first novel in print through Xlibris. I have also uploaded some work on to the “Smashwords” site. Since I returned home I have been madly proof reading to move my writing into the public eye. I’m trying to connect to all media to advertise.
