Twitter Influence - The Easy 5 Step Guide To Making Money With Twitter

Step 1: Figure out what you would do with that influence if you had it.

Step 2: Now think of some other reason because your first reason won't make you any money

Step 3: Great! Now we're talking. Wait, what? Fine, if you insist, but don't blame me when you see the size of your blogs ad check from Google.

Step 4: Be the very best at what you do, and make sure that isn't Multi Level Marketing or pitching Work At Home jobs for gods sake. 

Step 5: Perfect, you qualified your way all to the final step.  Now, since you're the best at what you do, since you can write, speak, consult, and sell at the top of your sector you are obviously already making a lot of money.  Go pay someone to figure this twitter thing out and get back out there making money.

Ok, I admit it, I'm just pissed. I decided to turn on Auto-Follow because I felt like there were some great people I was probably missing out on.  When I did so though my DM box immediately started filling with people pitching MLM and "Easy Work At Home Businesses".  So I'm unfortunately turning that back off.  If I should be following you then by all means send me a message to let me know.

Secondly, I'd be willing to wager that over time this post will see more hits than any other I have.  Which sucks, and is a little sad. But at least those people who come here looking for an easy, no hard work required, way to leverage social media will have wasted their time.  And that makes me a little happier.

Lastly, *I* have the secrets to twitter influence? Seriously?
