Behind the scenes of AdvisorTweets.com
Who To Follow
Every Twitter user remembers the feeling—the account’s been created and you’re looking at your Twitter page and wondering, “Now what?”
You can use the several Twitter directories on the Web (WeFollow.com, Twellow.com, etc.) to find accounts to follow based on keywords, but be prepared for some iffy quality.
AdvisorTweets is your source to find U.S.-based financial advisors who are using their Twitter accounts for business purposes—with the possible exceptions after business hours during high sporting event periods (e.g., March Madness, Monday Night Football, etc.).
Twitter Lists
While logged into Twitter, click on these lists to follow the following Twitter lists (see How To Use Twitter Lists for an explanation):
- All AdvisorTweets advisors
- Advisors on AdvisorTweets who are investment advisers/RIAs
- Advisors on AdvisorTweets who are certified financial planners (CFPs)
If you want to branch out and follow more than financial advisors, take a look at the @RockTheBoatMKTG FinancialAdvisorsResource list. This list is a virtual treasure trove of advisor technology specialists (e.g., @BillWinterberg), advisor and investment communications professionals (e.g., @SusanWeiner), 401(k) specialists, etc.
We meet many of these Twitter users when they begin to follow @AdvisorTweets. Because the AdvisorTweets Twitter account follows financial advisors only (otherwise the stream and trending tags and themes would be skewed with non-financial advisor content), our Rock The Boat Marketing Twitter account @RockTheBoatMKTG often reciprocates an AdvisorTweets follow and consistently adds to this list, which we’re making public now. (See About AdvisorTweets for an explanation of the relationship between AdvisorTweets and Rock The Boat Marketing.)
