What is Twitter and How Can It Make You Money?

The Twitter Traffic Machine

Hello Readers! I am writing this article whom was a completely frustrated Internet marketer that has been in the business for now about a year. I have not made any money in internet marketing but have recently discovered all the fuss about twitter and how Twitter can make you money no matter what type of business you're in. So, what is all the fuss about being on Twitter and is it really all what most people say it is? I would like to answer all of those questions for you now.

1. Twitter is easy to sign up. You sign up, post a picture and write a very short bio. That's it!

2. Twitter is a social network that allows only 140 characters per post. Why is this important? Because it is not time consuming or frustrating like facebook, myspace or other internet social sites. It's like sending a text message over to all your followers. Easy and Quick.

3. Twitter is for everyone. Old, young, entrepreneurs and domestic work at home people, students and grand dads. It's that easy and non-technical.

4. After joining, find people of like-minded interests, and click "follow". Then, some of those followers will want to also return the favor and follow you. You may follow a few, or you may follow a million, as Ashton Kutcher, Oprah Winfrey and CNN recently reported.

5. So, now, you have a list of targeted followers. You have heard…"the money is in the list". Now you have your list. For example, Southern Greenhouses is a Greenhouse brick and mortar company based in Texas. The owner, Steve Reno has a twitter account and he trades off "follows" with orchid growers, gardeners, hobbyists and other greenhouse owners. Now, he has his targeted list. He may post a discount, and coupon, or some products he is trying to sell. Or he may just get some good ideas from the expert gardeners and use the relationships to help him run a top notch, client driven business.

So, basically, that's it! Twitter is easy, twitter is fun and twitter can make you money! Want to find out more about tools and tricks to make you money using twitter? Then follow me!
