with Brian Basilico

it was just being better at it than the guy standing next to them! People who use and are successful on Twitter have the right philosophy and use the right tools! Good quality content is either News You Can Use, or really USEFUL INFORMATION, that people need or want to hear! A good Social Media Miner gives people GOLD to mine Not dump garbage in the river! Just posting a commercial is what confuses people about Twitter HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COMPETE WITH THAT?. Its not a competition (thats advertising) Its a stream of nuggets of useful information that people pan for! There are three types of users that I have seen over the years
Brian Basilico

Three Twitter Users and Why You Need to Know Them! Tiger Wins the Memorial In the last post, I used Tiger Woods as an example of how people use Twitter. He won the Memorial Golf Tournament and tied Jack Nicholas for 2nd place in all time golf tournament wins today. He did so almost 10 years younger than Jack when he hit that mark. Thats NEWS! How many more followers you think he picked up? 20,000 and counting! That is a 10% rise in followers. How would you like 10% of those people to pay attention to your messages? Thats what Twitter can do for you But you have to have the right audience and the right messages (that they want to hear). If you watched Twitter you would have seen it erupt when he chipped in from the rough on hole 16. Now if you are not into golf you are saying right now Self Who Cares? And you are so right! But what if you chip in from the 16th by creating a cure for cancer or have a better way for people solve another problem? Would you not want them to erupt with excitement and contact you? Thats what Twitter does (and can do for you!). Panning for Twitter Gold During the Gold Rush in California, people left their homes and families to make their riches. The ones that were successful, were tactical by buying the right tools. They would stand in the river and use a pan to separate the gold for the rock sediment from the bottom of the river! Some made a good living and other got rich. Some of that was luck and some of

This is what makes Twitter so popular. People who have REAL STORIES, REAL NEWS, or REAL INSIGHTS that you really should pay attention to. When the uprising in Egypt erupted, or stories like Michael Jackson dying, Twitter was dishing up 1000s of tweets per second. This ranged from real details, to perspectives, and commentaries. This is why most every news organization, newspaper, radio station, and traditional media outlet turn to Twitter first. This also includes jobs, customer service, and public service information. This in a rough estimation is 60% of Twitter trac. 3) The Snake Oil Salesman (Saleswomen) This is what makes Twitter so hard to use and understand. More often than not, when someone follows you they hope you will reciprocate so then can start ooding your feed with their sales messages! THE NEW IPHONE, WHY MY METHOD WORKS, HOW TO TURN SPARE TIME INTO MILLIONS! By getting you to listen you are a qualified target for their sales That is SO OLD SCHOOL, and not what Twitter is about. That is what you may have but need to ignore. This makes up the other roughly 15% Twitter trac. Sometimes this can feel like 90% of the trac if you dont know what you are looking at, or understand what you are looking for! 4) BONUS The Dabbler This is the person who dives in, tries to friend a few people, read their news feed, and say I DONT GET IT! sound familiar? 40% of you

are considered LURKERS! Out of 200 million users, 80 million log in less than once a month. Active users log in more than that! That is not too dierent for all other Social Networks. When you post to Facebook, less than 30% of your friends, fans, or likes actually sign in on a regular basis and see your posts. SO WHY BOTHER? When you chip or putt a golf ball, you do your best to get it in the hole but once it leaves your club, its up to the course and gravity! When someone logs into their social media, you want the best chance to be seen! Traditional media has a 10% view before the commercial is skipped, the postcard is recycled, the radio commercial is replaced with the IPod music, and so on. Out of them, 10% is the best you can hope for meaning 1 out of 100 people will respond to you advertising (.5%2% is normal returns on traditional advertising). That does not mean they BUY SOMETHING that means they will contact you and inquire about you or your business! Social Media Matters So if you can get 20% or 30% of people to pay attention to your messages, and 4-10% total to connect or re-tweet or share your messages, would you see the value in that? Social Media is not the panacea that some claim it to be but can be a very eective tool in your arsenal of sales and marketing. But its a two way street a commitment, A CONVERSATION. You have to create messages that people want to share and comment back to! Unlike the get rich quick schemes You have to throw out some gold nuggets for others to pan in order to get them to return them to you to create conversations and ultimately business! In the next post, I will share the hows of Twitter such asHashtags, Direct Messages, ReTweets, and other tools that help you convert this form noise to a conversation!

1) The Communicator This type of user is trying to talk to his or her family, friends or tribe. If you look at most celebrities, this is what they do. They are followed by millions and follow a few. The more average user talks to their family and friends and allows others to listen in and monitor (and occasionally comment) on the conversations. DONT CONFUSE THIS with people who try to advertise. This in a rough estimation is 25% of people on Twitter trac. 2) The Propagator

quickly. You should have the option to narrow your job search by region, industry and duration, and, oftentimes, you can narrow it even more

by keywords, company names, experience needed and salary. 4. Go directly to the source. Instead of just applying for the posted

job opening, one of the best strategies to finding a job is to first figure out where you want to work, target that company or industry and then contact the hiring manager. Also,

Job Hunting Tips

1. If you build it, they can come. Instead of simply posting your rsum on a Web site, take it one step further and design an easily-navigable Web site or online portfolio where recruiters can view your body of work, read about your goals and obtain contact information. 2. Check yourself to make sure you haven't wrecked yourself. Google yourself to see what comes up -- and what potential employers will see if they do the same. If you don't like what you find, it's time to do damage control. 3. Narrow your options. Many job boards oer filters to help users refine their search results more

Kendall Weekly Times

many employers' career pages invite visitors to fill out candidate profiles, describing their background, jobs of interest, salary requirements and other preferences. 5. Find your niche with industry Web sites. Refine your search even more by visiting your industry's national or regional Web site, where you can find jobs in your field that might not appear on a national job board. More and more employers are advertising jobs on these sites in hopes of getting a bigger pool of qualified applicants. 6. Try online recruiters. Recruiters will help match you with jobs that meet your specific skills and needs. Not sure where to start? Sites such as recruiterlink.com, onlinerecruitersdirectory.com, searchfirm.com and i-recruit.com provide links to online headhunters for job seekers. 7. Utilize video rsums. Video rsums are just one more way to stand out to employers. Intended as supplements to -- not replacements for -- traditional rsums, video rsums allow job seekers to showcase a little bit of their personalities and highlight one or two points of interest on their rsums. 8. Run queries. You run searches on everything else, from your high school sweetheart to low-fat recipes, so why not jobs? Enter a query that describes the exact kind of job you're seeking and you may find more resources you wouldn't find otherwise (but be prepared to do some sorting). 9. Utilize job alerts. Most job boards have features that allow you to sign up to receive e-mail alerts about newly available jobs that match your chosen criteria. Or go a step further and arrange an RSS (really simple syndication) feed from one of these job sites to appear on your customized Internet homepage or your PC's news-reader software. 10. Get connected. How many times have you been told that it's not what you know, but who

you know? Thanks to the emergence of professional networking sites like LinkedIn.com, job seekers no longer have to rely on the old standby of exchanging business cards with

strangers. These sites are composed of millions of industry professionals and allow you to connect with people you know and the people they know and so forth. (A word of caution:

When you sign up for online social networking sites, you are in a public domain. Unless you are able to put a filter on some of your information,
