Seems pretty pointless to me.

Anyway, I’ve just set up a Twitter account for one of our non-IM niches.

I’m not going to show you it or anything just yet but I’m gonna use this account to test whether Twitter has any real marketing value or not.

So, I’ll keep you updated as a go along with it.

The first thing I’m doing is finding people to follow who are in the same niche.

There are two good FREE sites out there that you can try:-

Twitter Search. You just type in some relevant keywords to you niche and it pulls up all the latest tweets where those keywords were mentioned. Check the people out and follow them! Easy peasy.

Twitterell. With this site you enter your Twitter details and then keyword(s). It then runs off for awhile and collects relevant Twitterers. Looks like you can then just group follow them. I’ll report back once the results are in.

I really want to see if Twitter can add any value to a non IM niche and this will be a good test. Like all the niches Thad and I are in, it’s hot, topical and highly competitive.
