I wrote about using Twitter to build your business interests before. But that information is almost useless if you don’t know how to write effective tweets. You have to know what you’re doing, and the inner workings of Twitter, in order to garner the most attention. The biggest part of building interest and your account, is using your tweets as effectively as possible.
Building an audience isn’t so much about what you write yourself, but how you communicate. Your Twitter account, if you’re using it to sell an idea, business, or product, needs to become a community forum. Your tweets are only useful if you can guarantee people are reading them. The way to do that is to build followers, and the best way to build followers is getting them involved.
Make use of Twitter’s search function. See what people are saying involving your concepts or business, and reply to them through your page. Ask questions, or comment on tweets that they’ve made regarding you. Start a running dialog, so that they’ll gain more interest and also mention you on their page, which will also build interest with a new audience.
Consider how useful the ability to re-tweet really is. By re-tweeting you draw attention to a comment someone else made, and put your own spin on the material. This will be noticed by the original tweeter, and your audience. Both can work to build the traffic on your page, and the more meaningful views you’ll garner.
Finally, everyone likes pictures, especially search engines. The more pictures you use, the more people will be drawn to your page. I’m not talking about pictures of anything. But try to upload meaningful and visually insightful pictures that relate to your Twitter page as often as possible. These will get more comments, and more chances for re-tweets. Both of which are necessary to build your page.

Twitter is essentially the biggest thing on the internet right now. The ability for any person to have abstract conversations and musings with one another has really caught fire. But have you thought about the ways that Twitter could help you professionally? Twitter is actually a really good way to do market research, and even promote yourself or your company. Because Twitter is so widely used you can reach, and also receive feedback from a global community, if you know what to do.
So obviously the first step is to create a professional Twitter page. Whether for your business, or personal business ventures, make sure that you update often. The quickest way to be forgotten is to tweet only once every few days. You have to keep your Twitter page active, usually with multiple tweets per day, so that there is always more content for an interested party to keep tabs on.
Use Twitter search to narrow down people, or other businesses that might be interested in finding your Twitter page. Try and contact them, either through mention on your Twitter account or via personal message to let them know about you. This way you can gain more and more followers. Your efforts won’t be very successful if you don’t have very many followers accessing your tweets.
Remember to take care of your followers as you gain them as well. Respond to them, mention them, etc. Make them involved, as they will become interested, and also mention you in their tweets, and that’s free advertising. Keeping your followers interested is key to building the Twitter page, and increasing your effectiveness.
Finally use Twitter’s search function to see how many mentions you are getting on other pages throughout the site. This is a good way to keep up on how successful your efforts have been. Also you’ll be able to keep track of what you should change to accommodate the greater interest. Twitter feedback is valuable, so take full advantage of the ability to see accurate feedback so quickly.

If you find yourself strapped for cash, the internet is a great place to make a few extra dollars. Creating a passive income can be very helpful in a bind, especially if you’re a college student. Being a student, your workload is obscene and you just don’t have the time for a regular high paying job, if you want to maintain school success. By exploring your options online, you can find some great ways to make money right from your computer, no matter where you are.
Think about writing articles for example. There are quite a few websites that offer payment for submission of articles, as long as they meet website standards. Places like Bukisa, and eHow are great places to publish a few articles, and depending upon popularity, rack up a decent paycheck. Plus these articles stay up for a very long time, and you are paid a percentage of the page’s earnings. So these turn into decent passive income makers, which you can use to make money without you having to put in extra work hours.
More ways to earn quick cash is to take advantage of work from home opportunities. They don’t always pay a lot starting out, but the work is usually pretty easy. Take for example, companies like to hire telecommuters for online Customer Service Representative positions. All you have to do is take the initiative to find the work. Search online CSR jobs, but stick to the more major companies, to make sure you don’t get scammed, or have your personal information stolen.
Finally, try writing blog posts for money. There are a wealth of opportunities for finding blog work, where you could be paid as much as $5 for every blog post you submit. Sites like Blogitive, Today.com, and work resources like Elance and oDesk also have great paid blog offers. Blogging is easy, and who wouldn’t welcome the extra cash?
