As per Allen's request, I'm making a "How to make money with Twitter" post
![]() The first thing I can say about "Twitter Marketing" is that it CAN NOT be Twitter Marketing! You can't really go there and just post links and set up a wordpress plugin to Tweet about new blog posts but not do anything else and expect to do well - unless you're Seth Godin The rest of us have to actually take the time to form relationships, just like normal people ![]() Relationships are the key for all social networking. These same things go for Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc You can't approach any of the social sites with a "Ohhh! If I get a bazillion friends, and send out my link, I'll make TONS of cash!" No, you have to spend the time to build the relationship with your followers (or friends if you're talking FB, etc) How do you do that? Use Twitter like it was intended! - Tweet at least a few times each day about what you're doing. - Keep up with friends you've met at seminars, through forums, etc - Ask questions to the people you're following - Share sites you're reading, and what you like - Reply to people who talk to/about you - Be yourself! - Keep yourself in the loop - Comment on what others are saying But, most of all, don't forget that you're talking to PEOPLE - treat them how you'd want to be treated. And then, when you do post a link about a product you just lauched, or a product you finished that you want reviewers for, etc, you'll get replies. Heck, if you're good, you can get people to BEG you to give them a link And then you're in like goldRecap: Don't use Twitter like an email list, and just send out broadcasts with aff links Don't be a doucebag (or a tool)Don't include a link in every tweet Do use Twitter to build relationships - these relationships could lead to more sales, more affiliates, and more JVs down the road! Do use Twitter to show people who YOU are Do reply to people who tweet at/about you Do tweet at least a few times a day, unless you're on vacation or something! There's a TON of power in the social websites, but you can't abuse them, or you'll just be spinning your wheels and wasting time. |

Good post Jason...I actually hated Twitter and Myspace...etc...but now I see the use for Twitter for things like quick updates to projects you are working on. I just kind of use it as a newsflash.

DEVELVIS,
CAN I SHARE INSIGHTS MY FRIEND. Twitter does not directly correlate to making money. Twitter is a relationship building tool - a solely communication based tool. It is not a big marketing channel for income. Twitter does not offer the same retention rate as most other popular social sites do. It is only good for building relationships with potential prospects & current customers. OK I LET THE CAT OUT. Discuss. PS. No kool-aid replies. |

Building relationships with potential prospects & current customers?Those relationships are what turns into money. Edit... Hey, no editing your posts to make mine look like I'm crazy

Hey guys,
I've made money as a direct result of using Twitter. Jason, nice post. You're right. It IS all about the relationships. Turn this post into an article-- quick! Wanna know what happened? Well, I'm telling you anyway. Someone introduced me via Twitter to a new friend. That new friend saw my work and tweeted about me with a link to my site (no aff link). 5 minutes later I made sales and 15 minutes after that had a testimonial from one of my new customers thanking me for my product and telling others it was good. What was that about you can't make money on Twitter? Felicia |

Nice post Jason.
I agree you can't Just be a marketer, but at the same time I would rather have somebody post links to products, or blog posts, or something interactive every once in a while at least. Some people Only post what they are doing throughout the day, like going to the store, feeding the dog, reading a book, writing a report, etc. I appreciate not being spammy, but if that is all you are going to post, I am not going to follow you. I don't have time to keep up with the mundane things in most peoples lives. If you Twitter, you need to keep in mind that most people only care about "what's in it for them". Start to think about what you twitter and ask if other people will care about it, or find it valuable, or at least usefull in some manner. Figure out what You like and want to get from the people you follow on Twitter, and then try and give the same type of info out to others. Or simply, would you want to follow yourself? Just my 2 cents |

Under your picture there is a scale icon (between green "online" indicator and infraction icon) that looks grayed out. People click on that and can give you rep power when you make a good post. Or take away from your rep power if you make a crummy one.
See the attached image if you don't find the icon. |

I believe you click on the scales icon and approve people's posts. Also, someone mentioned adding friends and being added to other friend lists. I don't know how to do that yet. Also, I don't know anyone who likes me except maybe Steve W.

Twitter is an excellent tool for building relationships.
It would be a shame to see it reduced to a mere marketing weapon when it is so invaluable at helping strangers develop meaningful lifelong relationships. |

I believe it takes multiple clicks of approval to boost one's rep power. I had already clicked yours. Couldn't stand seeing you with a zero. Would hate to see a grown man cry.

There are so many cool features and buttons and icons and stuff here on the forum that I forgot we were supposed to be talking about Twittering.
