If you are not familiar with Twitter, it’s a social network with a single purpose – Tell the world what you are doing, in 140 characters.

Internet Marketers already discovered the potential of Twitter for making money. I decided to try too, and I’ll share it with you.

There are lots of ebooks and manuals telling how to make money with Twitter, so I will not try to tell you everything. Just the basics.

The way a network is built on Twitter is one following another’s tweets. (a tweet is that 140 characters message). The more followers you got, the more people reads what you tweet.

If you tried some product or service, and you are very satisfied with it, you may tell your followers about it. If you are using an affiliate link for this purpose, you might make some money…

There are tools that send direct messages to new followers as soon as they start to follow your tweets. This message is usually a ‘thank-you for following me’, but may also contain a link to a gift. This gift may be a report, ebook, piece of software or service. The gift may also contain affiliate links so here too, there is a potential for profit.

I set up 8 useful reports as gifts for my followers, with affiliate links in them. Those who download the reports may or may not buy anything from these links, but still they receive some useful information.

If you wish to receive these reports, just follow me on Twitter. If you still don’t have your Twitter account, you may create one by following the above link.

When ever you tweet something, others look for keywords in your tweets and starts to follow you if it matches their niche. For example, yesterday I twetted something like ‘I’m going to cook some pasta’… Soon after I started to see followers in the cooking niche, restaurant equipment, vegetarian cooking etc. Not that I mind – I love to cook…

Building a good, niche targeted list of followers, may be a nich source for profit…

‘Till next time…

However, since I was close to the launch of PPC Bully in the last week, I thought I’ll try to go with the big guns and promote an upcoming launch. I searched and found a new product is about to launch within two weeks. This is the PPC Evolution membership system.

So, I created a lens on Squidoo, promoted it in social networks and directories, and now I have to wait for the launch and see if I did everything as it should be.

Cross your fingers for me…
