What is the best way to use Twitter to put you on the path to dominate your hyper local area? <\/strong>I am convinced I live in one of the least techie places in the Western Hemisphere. The suburbs I wish, pray, and hope to one day dominate only have 38 people on Twitter. I am not complaining<\/strong>, I want to learn how to market to those 38 people as if I was marketing to 10,000.<\/p>\n

A comment on this post yesterday<\/a> got me thinking. I use Twitter. Do I use it to its fullest?<\/p>\n

I have seen several of the contributors on here as well as a good number of the people I know who read this blog use it, and use it well. Often, when Brian Brady says to “Lock all loans” via a tweet, I call the mortgage brokers working on my deals and scream “LOCK!”. That right there proves that Twitter works. Across the United States the words of Brian are making a young real estate agent make his clients lock their loans. Why? Because he is trusted. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend Bloodhound Blog Unchained in Phoenix, where I understand Twitter was discussed a great deal, but I will see all of you in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Currently, it seems as if I am marketing to solely other Real Estate Agents. I have gotten a referral that ended in a closed sell, yes. However, I want to be able to dominate my local market, once they get on Twitter. Of course, I have followed each and every person that comes to Twitter from my target areas, even if they are outside their target demographics. I do not only write about my blog posts, real estate, etc…I share funny pictures of my cats, dogs, and just general updates on life.<\/p>\n

So, yall…what did you old Tweeters do on Twitter before your town, city, neighborhood etc came to be fellow Tweets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should I just follow the masses as they come here, search out for new faces for referrals in other markets, Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
