\"twellow<\/a>Looking for people in a certain niche on Twitter, but confused about how to find them?<\/p>\n

Twellow to the rescue.\u00a0 It’s like the Twitter Yellow Pages, with hundreds of categories and some really obscure niches. I spent several hours there recently looking for people who one of my corporate consulting clients can follow.<\/p>\n

Twellow grabs publicly available messages from Twitter. It analyzes the tweets and places the writer into several categories. That\u00a0helps you narrow your search into specific niches where you can find who you are looking for.\u00a0\u00a0We’re talking really narrow<\/strong> niches. Like\u00a0Tourette Syndrome, fence repair, numismatics, sake and rockabilly.<\/p>\n

While you’re there, check to see if you’re registered.\u00a0 If not, get onto Twellow pronto! \u00a0But you must have a Twitter account first.<\/p>\n

If you’re already on Twellow, you can be listed in 10 categories, delete categories that have been assigned to you, or add categories where you aren’t listed. Read the Twellow FAQs.<\/p>\n

Here are six powerful ways to use Twellow:
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\n1.\u00a0Be listed in\u00a010 categories<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When you create an account, you can choose to be listed in a maximum 10 categories, which can\u00a0help even more people find you.\u00a0Choosing 10 from the hundreds of topic categories available isn’t as difficult as you might think. Here are all my categories:<\/p>\n

2. Create an Extended Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u00a0accompanies your\u00a0Twellow profile and\u00a0allows an additional 2,000 characters\u00a0so you can\u00a0better explain what you have to offer. You can see\u00a0a Sample Extended Bio<\/a>\u00a0or read mine.<\/p>\n

Because I have an extended bio,\u00a0here’s what visitors will see when they do a search for my name or Twitter handle (“Publicity Hound”). The notes in the yellow boxes are mine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Include links within your Extended Bio.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Valuable links to your website, blog, or social media profile pages\u00a0from this popular site\u00a0will mean more Google juice. Take a look at the seven links I included\u00a0in by bio, chock full of keyword phrases:<\/p>\n

4. Use <\/strong>TwellowHood.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Wisconsin<\/a>This giant map of the world\u00a0lets you place your cursor on a continent, and then zoom in to locate\u00a0who’s on Twitter in a certain city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I zoomed in on Wisconsin, and a window opened with a list of cities where people on Twitter live.\u00a0I searched for Port Washington, Wis., my town, and\u00a0learned there are more than 60 fellow Twitters\u00a0who live near me. They\u00a0work as a virtual assistant, search engine optimization expert, digital photo expert, photographer, graphic designer and even a woman who I might hire to redesign the inside of my home, using things I already have in it.<\/p>\n

You can use Twellowhood for business leads and to find joint venture partners.<\/p>\n

Looking for the best deals in a city you’ll be visiting soon? Use TwellowHood to find people on Twitter in those cities, follow them, and then ask what hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions they\u00a0recommend.<\/p>\n

You can also use TwitterLocal<\/a> to find local Twitterers, though I prefer TwellowHood.

\n5. Read Twellow’s Advanced Search Tips<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By using certain characters like an ampersand,\u00a0quotation marks or a minus sign in your search,\u00a0you can narrow it or broaden it\u00a0to include people you might not otherwise find in a simple search.<\/p>\n

For example, if you want to find all people on Twellow that identify themselves as having something to do with dogs OR cats in New York, try this:<\/p>\n

(dog | cat) (\u201cnew york\u201d | nyc)<\/p>\n

6. Use a Twellow sticker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t wait for people to find you on Twellow. Let them know you’re there by placing these stickers at your website or blog. Choose from four standard colors, or customize your own.<\/p>\n
