Think Twitter is just for people with too much time on their hands? Well, think again! Twitter is so much more than just “I had a balogna and cheese sandwich for lunch this afternoon”. Since starting up in early 2008, Twitter has grown from 500,000 users to around 10 million users, and is used by enthusiasts, professionals and businesses alike. Twitter has turned into an extremely flexible marketing tool, one that is being used by everyone from companys the size of Comcast, to high-profile celebrities and politicians, (like the President of the United States!), to individuals looking to increase their website visitors or move a few handmade items.
99 Ways to Make Money Using Twitter was written by the editors of the entrepreneurial blog Geekpreneur, and covers 99 methods of using Twitter to boost your income. Illustrated with case-studies and proven examples, 99 Ways to Make Money with Twitter shows you how individuals and businesses are using Twitter to build their brands, land sales, and win new customers.
Not just a simple list of “99 Ways”, each chapter goes into rich detail, explaining where to begin and how to do it, and even provides a real-life, successful commercial example to copy. At the conclusion of each chapter is a model to follow, which links to a live Twitter account so you can see exactly how an actual person or company is doing.
The book is clearly written, and does not use hard-to-understand technical jargon. It uses a rating system that informs us of the difficulty of the various procedures. This lets us know if a novice can handle the project or if it would be better to hire a professional.
Some of the methods show you how to earn money directly through sales, commissions, payments for services, and more. Other methods act as a branding tool, community builder, or viral marketing channel that spread a company’s name and image further – and for less money — than it could have been done otherwise.
