It looks like I’ve fallen behind again.  I’d first heard about Twitter back in August of last year.  I signed up with an account, but I never did anything with it.  It seemed a bit mundane to me at the time.  Why would anyone want to know what I was doing throughout the day, and why would I be interested in what someone else was up to?  So, although I knew people who were using the site, I decided to forget about it and move on to other things.

But the talk about Twitter has been increasing in recent weeks, so I suppose I can’t resist any longer.  I have to join the “in” crowd and become a twittering fool.  Actually, I do see the tremendous benefits of Twitter clearly now.  Email marketing still has its place, but spam has really but a damper on it.  Blogs are great, too, but Twitter adds something a little more personal to the concept.  I can see that, with the right approach, Twitter could be used to make mountains of money online.

Just how could you make money with Twitter?  Maybe I’ll write a few posts to detail methods for using Twitter to make money online.  I certainly see the potential for it.  Once I put things in place myself to test my theories, I’ll report back to let you know how it all works.  For now, I can see that pulling together an audience of like-minded individuals with varying interests and ideas has more potential for profits than anything I’ve seen recently.  If you can build a solid following by providing good ideas and content, you’ll quickly establish a reputation in your niche.  You can then leverage this to sell your products or services, and your pool of potential customers is following you each step of the way.

It’s time to start Twittering…
