Fort Myers Twitter guy Ray Higdon here and I have some cool twitter tips for you! This blog is geared toward you local business owners and local business marketers.

Fort Myers Twitter Guy tip number one:
Use coupons in your tweets. Coupons with a call to action and with a timeline. This way you can actually track your results. There are numerous stories all over the internet where local business owners are tweeting coupons and getting a great response.

Fort Myers Twitter Guy tip number two:
Build your followers! What good are your tweets if hardly anyone sees them? Everyone will tell you to build your followers, start following others and you will get anywhere from a 30-40% follower return, however, there are applications that help you with this. http://www.twollo.com is one of them that will allow you to follow people based on keywords you want that people talk about in their own tweets. If you are a local business, targeting your city names that you cover are smart ways to get local people.

Fort Myers Twitter Guy tip number three:
Wanna find people that would make sense to follow? Searching for people in your niche and then following THEIR followers is a good way, does this mean finding your competition? YES. The easiest way I know to do this is http://www.twellow.com
