First create a profile on Twitter.

You can create a profile here >> http://joe-marsh.com/twitter

Your profile will include your username. Your username is what people will associate you with and will brand you… So choose the appropriate name.

Enter your profile information… some information about yourself. Link back to your main site. Use a profile picture and make it a real picture of you. Not something fake. People want to know who you are.

Do a searches on Twitter for people using the terms that are appropriate to your field or niche. Start following these people. Follow 50-100 people each day to keep it simple… You can follow more if you want.

Post status updates… helpful information about your field or niche that others can use. Include links to your site and other sites that are helpful for people in your field or niche.

Continue everyday to follow people and post updates to your account on Twitter. Do this 3 times each day for 15 minute each time and build it from there. If you want… you can spend more time doing this but just be careful. It can become a big time suck and you could find yourself not getting other things done as far as traffic generation.

Let’s say for example you are in the health and wellness field. During your conversations on Twitter you happen to talk about fishing. For those who use the search function and do a search on fishing will find your post.

Once they see this… there is a good chance they may decide to follow you. Even though they are not in your niche.

So what do you do to make your Twitter account more targeted. Here are a few simple and easy methods.

First you could ask your new followers. Such as… Hi Bob. Thanks for following me. I am always curious as to what made my new friends decide to follow me. What was your deciding factor? This is a simple and straight forward method.

You could go to your new followers home page and read their bio. If you don’t like what you see you could always block them or un-follow them.

And lastly you could also just let things go as they are. If they don’t like what you have to say they at some point will un-follow you.

So there you go. Three simple and easy ways to create a more targeted Twitter account.
