Thanks for coming back to visit my blog. If there is anything that I can do to make your experience better just let me know!

Some people don’t realize it but branding your Twitter profile plays a big part in building your credibility as an expert on Twitter. If you don’t have a brand know one knows who you are, and the bad thing about that is nobody is going to remember you. And that’s no good for you.
Why brand your profile?
Just think about it – if all of the restaurants in your neighborhood looked the same (building, paint, and all) would you be able to tell which restaurant was which? Nope. And that goes for your Twitter profile as well. You have to stand out from the crowd if you are going to make your mark as an expert in your field. And that’s why you need to brand your Twitter profile.

I know that there are a lot of you out there that are trying to figure out how you can make money with Twitter, but you are having trouble coming up with ideas. Well the truth is, you are thinking too hard. You can do a lot of the same things that you can do across the Internet, right from Twitter just the way you go about doing it is a little different.
Now before I go into how you can start making money immediately with Twitter, I have to give you a fair warning. Twitter is not a marketplace, it is a social network. The point of Twitter is to build relationship, drive traffic, and grow you reach in order to enhance your business presence and make some conversions. So direct sales might not work if you have not put forth the effort in building your target market on Twitter.
Now let’s get down to business...
The first thing that you need to do is follow @twitpay on Twitter. This is the only way to receive your PIN so you cannot skip this step. Shortly after you follow @twitpay you will receive a DM that looks something like this:

First is was the Twitter Lists and then today when I logged into my Twitter account I was welcomed by the message above. So it looks like they are in the beta testing stage of changing how Retweets areĀ sent and received. As Twitter explains in the image above, you are going to be able to see who is retweeting your tweets.
If you ask me, this is a good move on Twitter’s part because it can definitely aid in the productivity of those that are using Twitter for business. And for the other people that can see who is retweeting your tweets it can get them to look a little closer at what you are tweeting about, as well as allow them to jump on the bandwagon and retweet your information as well.
So I am excited about this little feature, and I think it will be beneficial to those that use it.

My mind is one that NEVER rests. I mean I am think of new money making ideas day and night. And it is not on purpose, but it has become like second nature to me. And truth is, I think of things that I know I will never used because I am already so tied up with all of the other things that I am doing right now. But anyways, here is a money making idea that I know that I won’t use…
As you may already know there are a lot of awesome things that you can do with PLR Content. But one thing that I have noticed is there is almost no PLR Content related to Twitter. I actually did about 2 weeks worth of research on this and I am surprised that Twitter PLR Content is not overflowing the Internet because it is a hot niche.
So here are some things that you can actually do with this idea…
- You can write articles about how to use Twitter for Business, how to market products and services with Twitter, or simply some fundamentals of using Twitter. You could create business related Twitter articles and market to business owners and Internet Marketers and make a killing, because a lot of these professionals are trying to
- You can create reviews of Twitter applications.
- You can even create PLR Tweets if you want to. Now in giving this some thought this would be better used if you create tweets in various niches such as Internet Marketing, Consulting, Blogging, etc. and then sell maybe about 50-100 tweets per pack.
If I were you, I would buy a good domain name and decent hosting. I use Go Daddy to purchase my domains, and if you are on a budget you can get a .info for under $1 and for the hosting use SecureSignup. With SecureSignup you can pay as little as $2.99 per month without having to make an annual commitment.
If you need help with this just let me know!

I know that some of you out there think that Twitter’s 140 character limit is a bummer, but it actually has it’s benefits. For starter’s it makes you a better writer because you have to sometimes use your brain power to figure out how you can say what you need to in the least amount of words.
And not only that but, shorter posts keep your ideas flowing more fluidly. Have you ever noticed how you can write one good blog post and run out of ideas, yet you can get on Twitter and your ideas are popping one after another? It’s because you are leaving all of the garbage out of your tweets and only providing the most important information that your followers need to know.

Normally, when using Twitter people will take a look at your tweets before determining whether or not they want to follow you. Why? Because in order for someone to follow you they want to make sure that you are adding some type of value to their network. Now you can actually look at this from either a personal or business viewpoint.
For personal use, if you are looking to meet new friends through Twitter then you are more than likely looking to meet people that share common interests with you. And the reason for this is because you can actually connect with people using that interest that you have in common. It works the same way if you use Twitter for business purposes.

Keeping your tweets protected becomes a bigger issue if you use Twitter for business than if you use it for pleasure. But nonetheless, it can be done and here are a few things that I would suggest if you are looking to make your tweets more secure.
1. Visit TweetCC where you can obtain a free Creative Commons License for your tweets. Now there are different types of licenses that you can get so make sure you take a look at what is offered before making a decision.
2. Protect your tweets through your Twitter Account. Now in doing this you can control who is able to see your tweets and who is not, but keep in mind this may decrease the number of new followers you have because people will want to be able to see your tweets before following you. If the number of followers you have is not a pressing issue you can go to your Twitter settings and at the bottom their is a box that you need to check in order to protect your tweets.

I’m sure you have, at one time another, been devastated by the loss of Twitter followers. This is just something that happens in the Twitter community, so it is normal to lose a few here and there. But if you have 15-20 unfollows in a days time then there is a reason that your followers are running for the hills and we are about to find out what the problem is.
1. Are you keeping your followers attention? If you are boring your followers to death then they certainly won’t stick around. You have to make sure that your tweets have value, that you keep things fun with your personality, and provide information that your followers are interested in. Keep in mind that your followers looked at your bio before following you so make sure you are giving them whatever it was that attracted them to your bio.
2. Can your tweets be perceived as offensive? It is ok to laugh and joke with your followers, but you will want to keep things respectful and you don’t want to say anything that could possibly offend your followers. This is especially true if you use Twitter for business, you have to be careful with your tweets.
