I had stopped by Side Street Cantina for a little lunch a few days ago. While waiting for my meal I decided to whip out the old iPhone and check my PayPal. I almost fail out of my chair when I saw a payment for $970 waiting for me to accept it. I didn’t have a clue who had sent it to me. After spending a few minutes researching the matter I discovered it was an affiliate payment (can you say cha-ching?)

After reading all of those so-called ebooks and reports on making money using twitter it was a simple system of sending three tweets a day that worked. To set up everything from beginning to end took about two hours. The even better part was it cost me less than twenty dollars to make $970. I don’t know about you but that’s a pretty good damn return on investment in my book. I’m so excited about this simple process and I’m about to give you the exact steps that I used to make that little twitter bird pay me.

I like most of the people on twitter use to make the same mistakes. In the beginning I had failed to track my results, which did nothing but waist a bunch of time. The second biggest mistake that I was making was I was forcing my sales pitch down peoples throats which did nothing but upset a lot of people.

If your going to do it you might as well do it right. I will explain step-by-step what it is I did and why I did it. Make sure you open up a word processor or get a pen and paper or something to take notes with. I’m about to give you the keys to the kingdom, the blueprint to the riches if you will.

The first step is to find an appropriate affiliate to do business with. I mainly use clickbank and paydotcom. I have always had positive experiences with both and I highly recommend them. When looking for an affiliate the most important thing to me is a high end ticket. It is going to take the same amount of effort to promote a ten dollar product as it would a thousand dollar product. The second criteria that a product must meet is they must offer at least a fifty percent commission from each sale. There are exceptions to the rule and I do promote lower end products from time to time.

Once I have found an affiliate that meets my conditions it’s time for me to get a domain name. I use godaddy, but there are a ton of places where you can purchase a domain from. Just do a search in your favorite search engine. Next you will need web hosting if you don’t already have a hosting provider I highly recommend host gator. The next step is to create a little mini-course to giveaway. This is how you get the people in the door and build your list. If you have been trying to make money online for any length of time you have heard the saying the money is in the list. Who would have guessed… They were right. The money is in the list. I hope you didn’t panic when I mentioned creating a giveaway. This probably one of the more easier steps to do because most of the work has already been done for you. If you followed all of the steps and found a product, you can just turn on the old web cam and talk about some of the benefits that the affiliate has on their sales page. Break the copy of the sales page into four or five parts or more if you wish and each benefit can be a little video. The last video will be your close where you ask them to purchase. If you do not have a web cam use PowerPoint (Windows) or Keynote (Mac) and create a little presentation for each benefit. If you don’t have one of those programs they offer a 30 day free trial you can use that. Once you have created your giveaway it’s time to make your opt-in page, which is often referred to as a squeeze page. Create a few follow up emails to send out to the end user and your done. Now it’s time to start promoting your squeeze page offer using your twitter advertising. I sent out three messages a day, one in the morning, the other mid day, and the last one early evening.

I don’t want anyone reading this article to be mislead by thinking that I just jumped on twitter on Monday and started making money on Tuesday. It took me months to figure out how all the pieces worked. I made all the mistakes that most people made including getting a few accounts banned in the process. If you follow the information that I have outlined you will indeed make money. PERIOD!

Twitter was introduced to the market in 2006 and in the past few years, it has shown extreme growth. In fact, in February 2009, the website ranked third alongside MySpace and Facebook. Many businesses are now working with the site to promote their business. However, a lot of them don\’t know how to make best use of the website to their advantage.

For the new fans of Twitter who owns any type of business, here are great strategies for you:

You can use the site for your general market trends. Every business has its target market. With Twitter, you can easily access your target market and get useful feedback from them. Many of today\’s businesses fail because they don\’t know the true needs of their market. With the help of the social network site, you can easily listen to the wants of your prospects, the issues they are currently facing and the kind of help they want.

These pieces of information are vital to your business. You can create blog posts or write articles about the needs of the market. You can also create a new service to meet such needs or perhaps you can conduct a tele-seminar on a topic that might interest the target market.

Build a list. Once you have your list, you can share your information like newsletter and free gifts. You don\’t need to promote your business every time you communicate with your target market but you can also mention it every now and then.

Whenever you meet someone on the website, try to establish an excellent relationship. You are a customer too. You buy from people who you trust and like. Your target market also behaves the same way. You must get to know your customers better and win their trust and confidence. Ninety percent of your updates or tweets should contain helpful contents and try to limit your promotion. By doing so, you can attract more prospects and later on, subscribers.

Learn how to create blogs. In order to show your expertise in the business, you need to post good blogs. Twitter provides tools that can automatically check the blogs you\’ve posted and share them to your target market.

Offer tele-seminars and events. In order to increase the number of prospects on your list, you should send out invitations for tele-seminars and events. The more people you invite, the more you can boost your business.

You must create your own twitter account first before you can use the website for business purposes. Making a profile page for your business is the first task that you should accomplish. Once you have your own account, you can let other users of Twitter know about your business. The twitter question that you need to answer is – what are you doing? You must answer this question so that you can let the world know about your business. After that, you can now follow the helpful tips mentioned earlier.

Studying the target market is very important for your business success. Identify their needs and wants so that you can give the right answer. Remember, you must try to build trust and confidence. Twitter has millions of fans from all over the world. Just imagine how many of them you can get to patronize your business. Getting clients through Twitter is not as difficult as you think.

Let\’s chat a little bit about ways to start developing a huge network of friends, clients, associates, and shoppers using the social networking website Twitter.

Quite a few new fans of Twitter are continuously asking how they can use the site more successfully for their internet business and since the website has grown into an Internet mega monster that is globally known and talked about, they are right to ask. The fact is Twitter is a fantastic tool for your IM internet business.

Internet relationships are very different from actual personal relationships. They are based primarily on like, know, and trust. Numerous people are reaching out to others through social network websites like Twitter, Facebook and many others.

If you are new to Twitter you may not realize that you can create your personal or company brand and virtually dominate your market, simply by building a list of followers.

Configuring Your Profile

Once you\’ve setup your Twitter account you will want to work on making your profile. Twitter lets you easily customize the look and feel of your profile page. You will want to pay close attention to your one line bio.

Bio Line

Because, besides your Tweets, this is what people will read and judge what type of person you are before they decide whether or not they want to follow you. You will only have 160 characters to describe who you are and what you do, so you have to make it good!

Photo

It\’s essential that you use a real photo of you over an image your company logo. I recommend you use a real photo because people connect with real people and trust a user with a face. A user profile that has a small business logo just screams sales and is a turn off for most people.

Background

You also have the option to upload a customized Twitter background to your profile. This is something you will want to utilize ASAP as this is a massive benefit and way to get free exposure for you or your company.

There are a ton of free Twitter backgrounds that you can download edit with photoshop floating around or you might want to get one made up professionally by a designer.
