These tactics are practical. I have used BuzzSumo and I find it to be the most effective tool in searching for influencers to follow.

Thanks for sharing this I have learnt a lot from you especially on how to create a list.

Howdy sir,

Looks like http://twtrland.com/ has now changed to http://klear.com/ and the whole site is different now.

Are you still using this strategy, and if so, what are you using now for that ‘finding their friends’ part?

Thanks,

Vic Maine

It’s always a pleasure to read such useful and helpful tips! Never heard about the tools mentioned in this post – except for Buzzsumo – but I’m certainly willing to try them out.

Before Twitter “banned” auto following a lot more people were auto-following friends of friends and then ditching them if they didn’t follow back– 100 a day. Today that’s a little tougher…I dont’ know I don’t do it.

I’ve definately noticed more of the “inspirational speaker” types who I pretty much dislike as a group constantly doing this, and with me, to get the silly 90K follow:90K Following

In reply to Sonia Pitt. You definitely don't need so many tools. You can get pretty much with Google Keyword Planner alone, but if you want to be more thorough these other tools help...A LOT.

In reply to Ian Anderson Gray.

Thanks Ian!

I specifically went with Free tools here, but I’m sure there are some paid ones which might help as well.

If you wanted to get more accurate with the Tweet times, I’d probably query the Twitter Search API and run a search for each influencer I’m targeting with a query that filters out all automated/scheduled tweets. Perhaps something along the lines of this: “from:fighto -source:buffer”. I might go as far to filter out links with “-filter:links”. Then I’d mix the data all together and find the times with the highest usage frequencies and target those times.
