Twitter Powers

“The earth seemed to move with me. I found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never knew existed.” Roger Bannister

In my last post I gave you some great websites and blogs to follow and learn from to help you get a strong foundation on Twitter. In this post I am going to show you Twitter Powers and begin the “how to get Twitter Powers” process.

Remember what it was like in high school or college? Learning was actually a lot of reading. Well, to learn about Twitter Powers you have to start learning from some real Twitter Powers. You need to study what they’ve done…and what they’re doing…NOW!

This will mean doing some reading. Are you up to it? If so let’s start.

These Twitter Powers are by no means the only people on Twitter you can learn from nor are they the only ones you should learn from. BUT, if you study them and what they have done and put some of it into practice…POOF…you’ll be the Twitter Star we talked about last time.

By the way, POOF stands for:

P – practice until you get it

O – occupy your space on Twitter

O – overcome every obstacle and failure

F – finish on top

We’ll spend more time on POOF in my next post, now to the Twitter Powers.

@williger is a Twitter Power you may have overlooked. He has quietly built a following in the millions for his Twitter accounts. His personal account @williger currently has over 160k followers. He uses every tool at his disposal to accomplish extraordinary Social Media feats.

Here is one of his videos which went viral:

It’s called “Twitter DM lament - I won't join your Spymaster Mafia!” and it is hilarious. You want to keep him in view and learn as you do.

@CiaoBella50 is a Twitter Power who adds wit and Twitter expertise to her 85k followers. Although she is "just a girl with a dream" you can learn a lot from this dream-girl and her blog, Ciao Bella.

@Scobleizer is a Twitter Power with 123k followers who understands what being a Geek is all about. In fact he’s interviewed more than 3200 of them. He says “Make every tweet magic.” He also understands using video. He recently had 500,000 views of a 17 minute long video. There are many "teachable moments" with him. Just for grins, check out his Profile on Google.

@GuyKawasaki is a Twitter Power who has grown his following to over 232k and he’s done it organically. He gives amazing tips on his blog “How To Change The World.” He also started Alltop which is basically an aggregator of all things Hot in "Social" and "Tech". Keep him on your radar.

@ProBlogger is another great example of a Twitter Power. He actually makes a living from blogging and tweeting and all things Social, and has more than 96k followers. I'm sure you can learn a few tricks by studying what he does.

@ModelSupplies is a Twitter Power who has grown her following to over 58k by providing great and interesting content as well as conversations with her followers. And if you need more twitter tips, you have to read her blog. Here is an excellent example, "How To Get Listed On Follow Friday Twitter Lists." She is well worth learning from.

This is a good start. Visit these Twitter Powers and learn from them all you can. I will have more Twitter Powers for you next time and we will go over POOF.
