Re: Using Twitter to Make Money

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.

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.

Re: Using Twitter to Make Money

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.

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.

Re: Using Twitter to Make Money

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.
