Week # 8

-Which search words you used to find your connections? Did you have to play around with more than one key term to start seeing the right results? Who did you end up finding?

-What lists did you create and why? How does creating a list on Twitter help you stay organized or reach a goal?

- What time would more customers see your tweets. When are they most effective?

The search words I started with was realtor and chamber of commerce. I actually went to a chamber directory to start with. I did that because I was drawing a blank on what to search. Once I found a couple of businesses that has twitter and do business in the high desert I was able to find more from the pages I checked as following. I used the actual names of the realtors to bring up their twitter pages. I ended up following about 15 businesses total.  I tried searching bookkeepers to see if other people other than bookkeepers were following that category but I came up empty.

These are the results of my search for my connections as well as my lists:

(Realtor List)

Desiree Burgnon

Derek De Ville 

Dennis Shaw

Shear Realty

CBC High Desert

(Chamber List)

Adelanto

Apple Valley

Hesperia

Hispanic Chamber

I chose Realtors and Chambers because figured there might be a better chance of finding clients through them. They both interact with a large amount of different types of people daily and would make great connections for Mary to attend networking groups, and open houses.

It would seem that having lists would help you market categories instead of randomly going through each one. If you are trying to market a particular group, it would be easier to reach them all with one idea. 

As far as what time customers would see my tweets, I'm not really sure. I suppose morning and afternoon because if they are busy through the day they most likely would stop a couple times to check while taking a break and may not bother with it after work. Again, I'm not really sure.
