I’m asked all time, “David, how do I find people talking about buying a car online?” So, I decided to make a quick video on how to use Twitter to find car shoppers in your local market. Keep in mind that you should be building relationships with people before you pitch that you sell cars. Having said that, watch the video and tell me what you think in the comments, HAPPY SELLING!

Wow! Great insight. I'm fairly new to Twitter and even newer to Twitter Search. That's a pretty powerful tool.
I'm glad you found it useful! People love to talk about what's going on in their everyday lives on Twitter and buying a car is bigger than most, that's what makes finding these conversations so easy. What other search terms, as it relates to car shopping, can you think of?
I have said it before and i will say it again: Dave, you da man!!!!! Your constantly bringing insightful information to people in the auto industry.
It is a great little principle and one that is super easy to implement, especially if you grab the feed. I'm not the man, you are the man!
That, my friend, was some really GREAT information; AND, if a person is creative in their thinking towards it, they can take this PRINCIPLE you've provided – Online Social Market Targeting – and apply it to other mediums besides Twitter in order to land directly in the midst of individuals and groups online (and who live in their regional offline area) who are concerned with an issue for which said creative thinker may be able to provide a product or service or merely make a Social connection. Indeed, if somebody wished, they could even apply your principle OFFLINE and stop engaging in "Spray-And-Pray" methods; rather, they can do the research to actually find their target market. Very valuable advice you've provided.
I'm glad it has got you thinking. Later I will be showing you how to use this same principle on other social networks. What makes this so great is how easy it is to implement, people just need to be aware that they shouldn't attack these tweeters and try to sell them, instead they should build rapport first.
I just started using Twitter not too long ago, since then I’ve begun to love it. What started out as a love hate relationship it’s allowed me to network with people in my business a lot easier. News and updates happen in right away which makes for a great social communication app.
