Make Money With Twitter – Is It Possible?
There are a lot of people jumping on the Twitter bandwagon and for good reason. Twitter is a great vehicle for creating relationships, posting questions, answering questions, finding JV partners, and more. The problem is that there are many “would be” marketers that think that just because they can promote a product they will make money. As with any other medium it takes time and trust before people will fork over their hard earned cash. If you’re going to be successful using Twitter, you want to make sure you’re not doing what most of the clueless Internet marketers out there are doing. This article will give the details.
For starters, if you’re going to head on over to Twitter with the intention of spamming the heck out of the place, you can forget about it. If enough people report you (and they will) your account will be deleted so fast it’ll make your head spin. The key to being successful with Twitter is by actually participating in the community. Now isn’t that a novel concept. By participate I mean talk about yourself and what you’re doing with your life. Share information that might help others.
One way to do that, if you have your own blog, is to make them aware of when you’ve posted a new article on that blog. Maybe you have a free report on the subject you’re an expert on. Why not offer it to your Twitter followers? If you find out about a piece of news from somewhere on the Internet, share the link with them. Go out of your way to actually contribute to the community. What you’ll find out is that your followers will grow in great numbers just by word of mouth.
Of course, to help this along, publish your Twitter profile wherever you can…on your blog and any forums where you attend. The Warrior Forum is a great place to start. You can setup your Twitter profile right in the member options. If you write articles and submit them to Ezine Articles, they have an option where each time an article of yours is published, it will be broadcast to all your Twitter followers.
Ultimately, what all this is going to do is build up your reputation. Once that reputation is built, you will find that the trust you’ve gained will get you quite a few sales if you plan your promotions carefully. You don’t want to promote more than you contribute. That’s the key.
How long Twitter will actually last is anybody’s guess. But for now, Twitter can be quite profitable if you use it correctly.

Twitter is like just about any online tool–it can be very useful and helpful, but the power isn’t in the tool. The power comes from how you use it and the creativity that goes into your marketing efforts.

Thanks for the tips. I actually do some of the things that you said. And they really are effective.
Twitter is good not only as a tool to socialize but also to promote your business.
Twitter is a lot of fun. I find if I’m focusing on enjoying the process of learning things and meeting people then I’m getting connected with the right followers. If I’m putting too much pressure on myself, then I don’t have as a successful week.

I have seriously been getting into twitter and its great for creating a community around an interest. As well as using it to broadcast what you are doing… use twitter search to find others who have shared interests with you and enter into their conversations… you can win lots of followers this way as not only them but their followers will wonder who you are (as long as you have relevant things to say) and drop over to your profile to have a look.
