Find Niche Experts on Twitter

Birds of a feather really can flock together!

Now, you can login (using your twitter username/password) and speed the following of experts who are also in your niche! (This is one Twitter strategy that helps build a followership of like-minded experts like yourself.)

Here Are The (3) Quick Steps To Leverage This Strategy:

Step #1) Migrate over to http://twitter.ezinearticles.com and log in using your Twitter username & password. This is located in the left navigation.

Step #2) Scroll down until you see the title Filter Options near the bottom of the left-hand navigation window. Below that is the Category button. Clicking on that button reveals a very powerful feature that will open near the top of the page: Filter by Category.

Step #3) Clicking on the drop-down menu allows you to select your category of interest and also opens up a drop-down menu for the subcategories within that particular category. By picking a subcategory, you see only the EzineArticles expert authors in that specific niche who currently have their newly approved articles automatically posted to their Twitter profile.

Optional: You can change the SORT order by Followers, Authors, Articles or Recent Tweets. The default sort order is by largest number of Articles.

Example: You are a YOGA expert and you want to identify all Twitter members who also wrote articles in the YOGA category. Following the 3 steps above would bring you to this page of Yoga/EzineArticles/Twitter members. Make sense? From here, you could review and then follow or unfollow others in your same niche.

This new tool can help you identify and follow the people in your niche of interest – both colleagues and competitors *without* having to surf each of their twitter profiles one at a time…saving you loads of time.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, fly on over to to see what your flock is tweeting about…and then follow your birds of the same feather!

That is fantastic. What a great motivation to continue to post articles to get more exposure from this service. I looked up the investing category and discovered that since you rank from highest number of articles to lowest, that I am up the top on most of my categories.

You guys are brilliant.

Very Exciting.

This new method of finding experts in my niche is very useful. It’s another way to find joint venture partners and publishers. I will be using this site a lot for my niche research also.

Thanks for developing the site!

Handy and useful. It will likely make it easy to find people interested in JV’s, collaborations or who might have affiliate programs that would make sense to connect with. Thanks. Will give it a try – and a tweet.

I love this idea…however, when I tried it, I found that you cannot really “follow” from the sort page. That is, I sorted to get all book reviews members, but then I tried to follow and only one member comes up…then you have to go back to twitter follow the page and follow on the twitter page. Is this what was intended. I got the impression from the layout that I could “follow” directly from the original page…just reporting but I don’t know whether this is an issue or not…In any event, it would be great to be able to follow directly from the list…but I know I always want more than has been provided by the programmers…so not complaining!

Oops…I was wrong! What happens is that the individuals are added to the total follower count, but the “last” one you follow comes up…so that’s why I was confused!

This is great! Thanks! I really enjoy much more reading twitters from as you same, niche’s I am most interested in!

GABixler,

This announcement was sharing that you have to LOGIN to Twitter.EzineArticles.com with your Twitter username & password for the FOLLOW/UNFOLLOW to work.

Chris,
Just a great service, thanks for all you do.

I’m new to Twitter and trying to work out what it can do for my new business website, it’s been interesting.

You’ve now made it easy… being able to connect up with other Ezine Authors, by specific category has certainly fast tracked my efforts.

Cheers and Keep Up The Good Work,
Lou-ann

Gail,

From time to time, some tweets are lost. It’s rare, but it does happen. I’ve turned over your account to our dev team to investigate this specific incident.

I did look into your acct and it appears to me that you’ve properly setup your twitter acct with us.

Sometimes Twitter goes down… Yesterday they had a power outage. Most likely we injected your tweet to them at a time when their service was down or perhaps their service was lagging at the point of injection. We love Twitter, but their uptime;…. well, let’s just say it’s something they are still working on. :)

I must ask where did you get all those cool tweety bird images, You are making my cat very hungry, Fluffy is attacking my computer screen.

You have a cat named “Fluffy”?

Well, me too:

Well, considering my Fluffy is very fluffy, it seemed like the only appropriate name. I think Fluffy is a good name for a cat. I just wonder what the Presidential Dog will be named, I understand it will be a Portuguese Water Dog, that was the breed they picked, I’ll be interested in finding out the dog’s name.

Just the kind of information I was looking for – Thanks so much, Chris!

Having a means to narrow down, zero in, and connect with “precisely” who you want is invaluable … not to mention a real time saver.
