Not sure I understand. You're entertaining but don't want to go through the hassle of making fans? And then you want to make money? Or you're not entertaining and just want people to follow you, and make money that way? Either way, the best and most legit way to get followers is to be entertaining enough that people will follow you...but you want the best and most legit way other than that. If you're not entertaining, or if you're not willing to spend the time to make yourself popular on your own, maybe you should try to make money doing something else.

Guys were making a killing on Pinterest up until recently. They've changed their system around recently to make it less profitable for us and more profitable for them but there is still some pretty decent money to be made.

There are always new and exciting ways to market online. Once YOU know about it though you're probably too late to the game and the method is going to be saturated

That's why I'm asking.

I checked out Pintrest recently and I don't get it. Reddit gave me much more traffic and real engagement.

Not his problem but it was his question (2)

I didn't say it was his problem.

mobile. fb is set to release their mobile advertising platform...should be a game changer (at least for a short while)

I just have tons of fun on Twitter. Followed by a few well known pros. Localize. I tweet most anything. Twitter just fits my personality. There are lots of bored people with nothing to do however. Slowly growing REAL followers. Been blogging a bit through another link.

Haven't been on Pinterest much but curious how people were making a killing on it before they changed things?

According to Barry Carter, you only have to twitter to famous people and when they retwitter you, you will get popular among their followers and lots of them will join ya.

Didn't read the article but I'm assuming this talks about what I was hinting at. Basically Pinterest is now running all Amazon links through a system that changes the affiliate ID to their own. So as a affiliate marketer, you first have to get the Pinterest user to land on one of your own domains and then click through your Amazon link. Obviously a huge blow to guys who were using Pinterest.

The times when I got famous people to retweet me I got almost nothing to nothing at all. I've also got retweets from other sources and got plenty, it all depends.

One thing you might get though is non-quality followers that simply follow you so you can follow back.....And then a week later they unfollow you. Watch out for those.

Or (for the real fast money): you fake it. Take over Sharlie Cheens account and tell your 8 mio follower that you are back...............................and stoned.
