Finding People to Tag

Tagging relevant people can significantly boost the engagement of your tweet. But how do you find the right people to tag?

1️⃣
Start with your friends and followers. Tagging people who are already in your network can increase the likelihood of them engaging with your post.
2️⃣
Identify influencers and accounts relevant to the content of your photo. For example, if you’re at a tech conference, tag industry leaders, speakers, or brands present at the event.
3️⃣
Use event-specific hashtags to find people who are tweeting about the same event. This can help you tag attendees or notable figures related to the event.
4️⃣
Create or follow Twitter lists that group together relevant accounts in your niche. This can be a quick way to find and tag people who might be interested in your content.

Then connect your Twitter profile with your Circleboom account.

Step #2: Navigate to the left menu and open the “Search” tab.

Then, proceed by clicking “Find Influencers”.

Step #3: Here, you can type in any keyword and pick the engagement levels of the influencers you'd like to find.

You can apply advanced filters and narrow down your search results.

I did this search. Typed “SEO” for the keyword, and looked for verified accounts with a minimum of 5000 followers and a maximum of 500 friends.

Most of the accounts that came with this query will probably be Twitter influencers.

You can easily export them in Excel and CSV.

Once identified, engage with these influencers by participating in conversations, retweeting their content, and building a relationship before pitching collaborations.

Now, you can tag the influencers in your photos.
