Narrowcasting: How to Make the Most of Existing Connections
The document discusses the concept of 'narrowcasting,' which focuses on targeting specific, limited audiences rather than broad broadcasting. It emphasizes the importance of research and engagement to grow one’s network by connecting with relevant followers and their connections. The author, Amy Vernon, provides a formula for growth involving daily routines, list creation, and the use of scheduling tools.

Editor's Notes
- #5 We use hashtags, very often, to help filter that broadcast and also to find other conversations
- #7 The word has been around a long time; the overall concept is not new, and it seems every time we create a new means of communication, we have to re-learn narrowcasting/targeting/segmenting.SLIDE 16
- #10 Search by bio, location, other aspects. PRE-REQUISITE: You need to know who you’re trying to talk to.
- #11 What topics is Steve tweeting about? If he’s not involved in conversations relating to your topic, it likely isn’t worth reaching out over that topic.
- #12 Don’t have to just look at who’s following you, and look at different kinds of people, locations.
- #13 See what other topics they’ve self-selected as specialties
- #14 These are the topics I want to be associated with
- #15 Twylah helps find content in the subjects you ask them for
- #16 oneQube content
- #17 See who your friends are talking to
- #19 See what topics a person is talking about (not just what they *say* they are talking about) on Twylah
- #20 I love Tweetdeck for daily engagement.
- #21 Monitor your Twitter lists on Hootsuite
- #22 IFTTT helps me automate the small details of tasks so I can focus on *finding* the content instead of moving it from one place to another
- #23 Buffer allows me to schedule so I don’t bombard people with a ton of content at once.
