How To Find People Talking About You And Your School

If you watched the video in the first part of this module, you will have seen how I use Twitter Search to find people talking about the subjects my various businesses are centered around.

For my website at www.bicycletouringpro.com, I use Twitter Search to find people talking about “bicycle touring, bike tours, bicycle travel, stealth camping, world travel, eco-tourism” and more.

For the website at www.socialmediaschools.com, I use Twitter Search to find people discussing “education, social media schools, social media education, education and technology” and a number of other related terms.

In much the same way that I use Twitter Search to find people talking about subjects related to my various businesses, you should be using Twitter Search to find people in your community who are talking about you, your school, and other important community events and happenings.

For example: Let’s pretend for a moment that your name is Dr. Jim Moore and you are the Principal of Union High School in Salt Lake City, Utah.

If you were to use Twitter Search to find people talking about you and/or your school/community, you would use Twitter Search and search for the following terms:

• Dr. Moore
• Dr. Jim Moore
• Doctor Moore
• Doctor Jim Moore
• Principal Moore
• Principal Jim Moore
• Union High School
• Union High School Utah
• Union High
• Salt Lake City Schools
• Sale Lake High Schools
• Salt Lake City Education
• Utah High Schools
• Utah Education

You get the point?

There are likely a number of other terms I could be searching for a well. But what I’m mainly trying to do here is to see if anyone in the Twitter world is talking about me, my school or my community.

Once you find someone talking about you, your school, or your community… the next step is determining how you want to respond – if you want to respond at all. And that’s what the next article is about. Click here to read it now.
