This is not a hardcore tip but, for many people, not an obvious one either. Of course, you can go search for tags like “marketing” or “ubc,” or else, if you like. But the following idea I got from Twitter. Remember when you checked whom your followers follow to see if there were any cool folks out there? This is just like that.

So, what I do is I go to a tumblr post like, say, the latest video from Gary Vaynerchuk. Then I look for notes on the page. Here they are:

All these people use tumblr and like stuff that you like. Now go and check out their blogs! This way I’ve found many interesting people like, for example, Derek Jensen.

On another note, I’m collecting blogs of my readers/followers to read them and connect better. So leave a link to your blog in the comment section below!

There is one singe awesome tip that will make it incredibly easy for you to get into conversations with people you follow (even when there are a lot of them) without reading tons of useless tweets.

I use HootSuite for this and I think that this is the best tool ever, but if you know some other app that you can use, go for it! On the image below you can see my Home Feed filtered by a keyword. The keyword is a question mark. This filter brings up questions which people that I follow are asking. And if there is a question, you can answer it!

It is this easy: in 2 clicks and 1 character I turned many tweets that I can’t work with into a few engageable ones.

Don’t get me wrong. I still have fun reading the other tweets, but when I don’t have much time, I use this super-simple and super-efficient tip to start engaging is seconds!

What super-tips do you have?
