Now if you havent been on twitter yet its a fairly simple platform to use, in fact its very similar to the news feed on Facebook, the big difference with Titter is that you have a limited number of characters you can use in each post.

Every user on Twitter gets a profile page where you can add some personal details, a picture, and a link to any site of your choice. There is a button on your profile for others to click to begin "following" you, and doing so the will then get your updates as you post them.
The more followers you get the better your networking capabilities get, Twitter is a very viral source of networking, as each person interacts with their following, who then connects them to their own group of followers and on and on it goes.

So how can you make money twittering? well tweeting I should say.
to be honest I dont really understand why it works, but it does.

Twitters mini blog platform of 140 characters means that you have to think about what you can say to your following, for this reason you post more informative tweets, you have to write powerful statements in that short burst.

Maybe its because your tweets are received in real time by your following and therefore you get instant updates and can stay on the pulse of new events and offers and deliver them as they happen worldwide.
Above all else you can post a web address link in your tweet, its a good idea if you use an url shortener like bit.ly or Tiny Url to do so, these cloak your long web addresses and make you a shorter url (web link) and as space is an issue with Twitter these are very valuable resources.

I know you all still thinking so how do I start making money from Twitter?
making money from Twitter is never guaranteed just like every business opportunity but heres the low down for you.

1. Open a Twitter account, fill in some details, add a picture or avatar, let the world you are a real person. maybe even personalize you twitter home page.

2. Search for followers interested in the same topics, niches, subjects as you or your business and follow them, generally people you follow will follow you back.

3. Build you following over a period of time, like everything its not going to happen overnight, put the time and effort in you will see some results.

4. Post good content, valuable, fun, interesting and helpful content that gives your following a reason to stay followers.

5. Keep in touch with your followers, be a friendly, helpful, keep them up to date with any thing good, interesting, funny, helpful, just be likable, think of them as your friends and treat them as such.

6. After growing your following a while start to post offers, freebies and general good stuff to them, send them to your webpages (if you have them) squeeze pages or opt ins, but deliver good deals.

If you dont have your own offers send them to affiliate deals, from Clickbank, amazon, CPA offers, affiliate offers are easy to find search google for affiliate promotions in your niche, subject or business.

7. Grow your following and repeat steps 4-6.

Twitter is also great for list building and traffic generation just send them to a squeeze page (opt in page) before an offer. Or send them to your blog or informative page on your website.
You can even send them to a facebook fanpage, or Youtube video. The Sky is the limit really, think of all the content you have out there published online, you can send them to any of it best of all...All of it.

Now I know its going to take time before you build a big following and start making money from twitter, but you do get out of it what you put into it, so be patient.

If you need a hand with building your following you can outsource building your following by using someone from Fiverr.com, they be able to get you extra followers for $5, but try to get followers within your niche or business, you need a targeted following for real success.

You can also boost your following by signing up to sites like
hitfollow.com
tfollow.com
letgetmorefollowers.com
plusfollower.com

But these followers will not be so targeted, and would be better used for offers like CPA or surveys.
