This review is from: 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter (Paperback)

While I am a regular user of Twitter, I've always felt that somehow I wasn't utilizing the site to its fullest potential. Twitter is fun and all, but there's so much more to it than the usual "Going out to lunch now."

Geekpreneur's "99 Ways to Make Money Using Twitter" is a fun book to read and get ideas from, and it's more than just the typical "ideas book" flooding the market everywhere. Besides explaining what the idea is, each method the book gives has a section on how to do it, what to do to get started, and some tips to get you closer to success. At the end of each entry is a model to follow, which links to a Twitter account so you can see exactly what an actual person is doing. You don't see that in every idea book.

I'm already starting to implement the strategies in this book, and I think it'll really make a difference in my wallet as well as my Twitter account itself.

I have a few other Twitter books, and once I really started to use Twitter, I put the the other books aside, since they were more like beginner user manuals. But this book is different. In this book -- lots of ideas and SUCCESSFUL examples of Twitter users using Twitter to make money or promote their business. I loved the chapters on Twitter coupons and joint ventures.

This review is from: 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter (Paperback)

This is a great book for those who are just starting out in the Twitter world, and are looking to use Twitter as a marketing tool. I swear, every time I thought there couldn't be anymore suggestions, I'd turn the page and there was another..... then I remembered that the title is "99 Ways To Make Money on Twitter". So there are 99 suggestions, from how to get traffic going to your blog using Twitter, to becoming a ghost twitterer.

I've already implemented a few of the suggestions on my Twitter account, like using the directories to get the word out about your Twitter, and "following" people that are like minded.
