Why we need to move on from basic influencer identification
based on Twitter bios, to finding people based on their network
connections.

Discovery:
- Search Twitter bios for key words
- Search Twitter conversations
- Search blogs based on blog title and content
Prioritisation:
- Follower count
- Klout influence score
- MozRank or inbound links

Basic influencer identification outputs

- Self-proclaimed experts/obsessives who define as such
- Highly vocal people around a key topic
- People who are generally influential online
- ...but not necessarily people who are influential around the key topic

An improved measure of influence/relevance:
network follower count
The number of connections within a network of influencers

Network follower count
A = 0
Not followed by anyone in the primary network
B = 2
Followed by 2 other followers of @measurefest

Discovery:
- Same as basic plus...
- Who does your initially discovered influencer/target list follow?
- Who is your initially discovered influencer/target list followed by?
Prioritisation:
- Number of relevant mentions
- Likelihood to be followed by / follow initial influencer list

Drawing networks on NodeXL to visually
communicate relevance to senior stakeholders.

NodeXL is a free, open-source template for Microsoft® Excel® 2007, 2010 and 2013 that makes it easy to explore network graphs.
With NodeXL, you can enter a network edge list in a worksheet, click a button and see your graph, all in the familiar environment of the Excel window.

When the primary influencer list is broad, @stephenfry normally
comes up as top by network follows
32
So, calculate network follows as a
PERCENTAGE of total followers, to get a more reliable relevance score

Sort and filter by network follows as a percentage of total follows

Using conversational data from influencer networks
to inform and evaluate content strategy.

Author based query (not keyword based)

Inform:
- What are your target audience / influencers talking about?
Evaluate:
- Have you managed to influence the conversation with your content?
- What volume of mentions from your target audience relate to your content?
Using conversational data from influencer networks to inform and evaluate content strategy

In summary...

Basic influencer identification
- Finds generally influential people online
- Who define themselves as experts, or talk a lot about a topic
Advanced influencer network mapping
- Considers the relevance of an influencer within a niche network
- Creates a visual to illustrate the value of the method to senior stakeholders
