Anybody can make money by using Twitter. You will need only three things to do this - a Twitter account (which is free), your own website or another way to monetize your Twitter account, such as affiliate links systems, and a knowledge of social networking channel marketing.
The first two of those are simple enough to set-up, but the third one is more difficult to implement. You can certainly teach yourself how to market through Twitter though, and these tips will get you going in the right direction...
- Do not just advertise, talk to your followers
Understand that your Twitter account is not to be used as a digital billboard. You will see some people doing this - they post tweet after tweet of links to products and services - but that does not mean that they are making any money.
- Market products or services that your followers need
If you market a product that your audience do not need or want, then they will not buy it. It is as simple as that. Make sure you know what you are selling and that the potential customers will want to buy it. Research is key.
- It is not about the number of people, it is about your relationship with those people
There are various tools available on the internet that will enable you to gain followers very quickly over a short period of time. Though as we mentioned earlier, it is important to actually get to know your customers, so having thousands of people following you that you do not know could ultimately be pointless.
OK, so you may not be making money immediately, but if you follow the tips given above, within a month or so you should be seeing the fruits of your labor. Who knows, within a year you could be earning enough to give up your day job!

Build Thousands of Links to Your Website and Improve Your Search Engine Ranking
There are two kinds of links that we are going to talk about today, one way back links and reciprocal links. Both of these are very important to your websites success and search engine ranking.
One way links or back links, certainly the best of the two. One way links are great because they don't require you to list the other site on your site. This gives the link more value to the search engines. Below I have listed my favorite methods for getting these valuable links.
1) Write and submit press releases about your products or website. When you submit your site to the press release directories they in turn send them out to other major directories and search engines. With your submission you include the url to your site, every time the directory sends your press release out your back links are multiplying.
2) Participate in niche related forums, you can include your link in your signature file for one thing. For another every time you make a relevant posting your link is also posted giving you more back links. The same thing applies to blog posting.
3) Write and submit niche related article to article directories. This establishes you as an expert in your field as well as gets you numerous back links to your site. You can also publish your article on your own site or blog, this provides an easy way to constantly update your content and keep your site fresh.
The other type of links we will discuss are reciprocal links, this is where you exchange links with other niche related websites and blogs. I recommend placing a category page on your site, this will look more professional to your visitors. Then place each link you exchange in their proper category. Try and exchange links with higher page ranks then you, remember quality over quantity.
By following these simple steps you will over time advance in your page rank which will drive more organic traffic to your site or blog, this is the most highly targeted traffic you can get because they are looking for what you have.

How to Find a Work at Home Job Without Being Taken For a Ride
When it comes to working from home, there are real jobs out there. Unfortunately, there are even more scams out there. The internet and computers are wonderful technology and together they have opened a whole new world. However, with the good comes the bad. The internet has made it easier for more people to be cheated than ever before. Unscrupulous people love to prey on the desperate ones.
Sadly, some people make themselves perfect targets because they tend to believe almost everything that they read on the internet. If you honestly believe every email that you receive, and even worse forward them to everyone you know, then you are exactly the kind of person a scammer would be targeting. I'm sorry if that offends anyone, but I'm trying to enlighten, not win a popularity contest.
About 90% of these job scams are pretty easy to spot because scammers are fairly lazy. They'll just reuse the same old scams that have been around for awhile. They may change the wording a little but the gist is the same. So what should you be looking out for? You should be cautious when you see mention of:
1. Training materials.
I'm going to throw my own made up statistic out there and say that 99% of all jobs that charge you a fee for "training materials" are scams. These are usually described as data entry jobs but there really is no data entry involved. Once you pay the scammer for "training materials," they'll tell you how to go out and scam others the same way that you were just scammed. Sweet, huh?
2. Data entry jobs that say that you will earn "between $300-$500 a week".
For some reason, scammers love to quote the $300-$500 range and I have no idea why. Maybe it's what they teach in Scamming 101 or maybe it's because it's an amount that would satisfy a good percentage of job seekers. Either way, when you see an ad like this, lace up those Nikes and start running.
3. Payment processing jobs.
This is a bad scam because this one could actually land you in jail or prison. It's so ridiculous that anyone who really stopped to think about it, should be able to see it for what it is. This scam involves an "employer" contacting you and basically saying that they want you to receive payments for them. A few days after you accept this "job", you will receive a (usually large) check in the mail. Your "job" is to go to your bank, cash the check, keep a small percentage (usually 10%) and send the rest back to your employer. Sounds simple, right? Wrong!
The problem occurs when your bank finally figures out that the check is not real. This could take days, it could take weeks but they will figure it out. Once they figure this all out, who do you think they will come to in order to get their money back? That's right, you. But that's not the worse part. Not only do you owe the bank money but you've cashed a counterfeit check, which usually means the police will be contacted. So now, you're out of money and you may be in trouble with the law. Common sense would tell most people that something about this "job" just seems wrong but they still fall for it.
4. Outrageously high pay.
Yes, we all would like to sit at home, work a couple of hours and make $5,000 a week. For most of us, though, that is and will always remain a pipe dream. Scammers say things like that because they know that some people are greedy, really greedy. And the really greedy won't stop to think that this is a ridiculous amount to be paid for doing nothing. To make it worse, a lot of these jobs will say they require, "no degree, no experience and no skills" Does that make any sense at all? To some people, it does.
5. Your personal documentation. I can't believe I even have to put this here but I've seen this happen, so I'll throw it out there. If a job tells you that they need you to mail in your ACTUAL social security card, drivers license and/or birth certificate. DON'T DO IT! For tax purposes, many legitimate companies will require copies of your personal documents but they have no need for your originals. However, anyone desiring a case of identity theft should go right ahead and send it in.
In closing, I would like to say that if a job description causes you to throw up red flags, you should keep moving. Likewise, if you feel compelled to ask if a job is legit then it probably isn't. Use your instincts, think about what makes sense and don't let desperation lead you down the wrong path. Scams nowadays cannot only cost you your money but also your freedom or your identity.
I have been working from home for over 10 years and I love sharing what I've learned with others. If you're interested in working from home but don't know where to start, I have something that will send you down the right path. I know what companies are looking for telecommuters and I'll tell you who they are. http://workathomewisdom.com/default.aspx
