It's always fascinating to watch as something new 'beds down', and this time next year it will be interesting to see where twitter has gone. Casey: best of luck to you. Let me know how you go, and if I can help your journey any, ok? ProfessorBeej: You're pretty head on yourself, pointing out the community angle. It's way too easy to forget that when you're hidden behind a keyboard & a screen. Look forward to seeing more of your updates ;) PS Appreciate you guys taking the time to comment. It's always wonderful to see a one-way thought stream turn into a conversation :D I’m with you, Phillip.

I think one of the best tips is "know what your followers want" There is no point to keep tweeting about A when everyone really wants B. The only way to find this out is to keep testing different products and see what your followers want. Thanks! Great article!

I read an article a while back that 60 days is what it takes to determine if blogging is for you, and I think it's head on. If one can keep writing consistently on a schedule for 60 days, then there's a good chance that the ideas will keep coming, and readers will come if they haven't already. Twitter is the same. I'm new to the Twitter community, but the more I do it, the more I realize that it is just that--a community. The more I actually converse with people instead of updating my status egocentrically, the more I notice actual people following me and not just keyword spambots. Persistence and perseverance, like you said, are the words of the day. I think the most important of these is persistence.

Twitter is the same. I’m new to the Twitter community, but the more I do it, the more I realize that it is just that–a community. The more I actually converse with people instead of updating my status egocentrically, the more I notice actual people following me and not just keyword spambots.

Persistence and perseverance, like you said, are the words of the day.

That is why you only have a handful that are successful. Thanks you gave me some real points to work on.

There are a lot of people out there who are trying to make money anyway that they can make it. I'm not quite convinced that anyone can just join Twitter and start making money by tweeting, even with a brilliant business plan. I think that most people that are making money on Twitter already have a well established value proposition to offer people outside of the service. @JohnChow can tweet an affiliate link and make a few hundred or thousand dollars over night because he already has gained the trust of all of his followers through his blog. Dell makes millions using Twitter, but only because it has a well established following outside of the service. Dell understood this and has utilized Twitter to its advantage by simply offering great customer service, technical support and sales promotions.
