<p>Everyone knows how popular Twitter is. Why not mix Twitter with the ability to make money?  There are many easy ways that you can make money on Twitter.  Here are some on the most common ways people are raking in the money.</p>
<p>Many people are charging for just a Twitter message.  If you have a private user name and password and only your friends can receive Tweets.  You have the ability to charge for information that no one knows about yet.  Often times you will find newspapers and bloggers doing this to allow people to be the first to gain juicy bits of information.</p>
<p><span id="more-1158"></span></p>
<p>You can sponsor a contest for advertisers.  They will pay you in order to help them gain information on how people are feeling about their products.  Throw out a question about a product.  Maybe ask people how a product could be improved.  You can make some money by adopting these strategies from advertising companies.</p>
<p>There are many companies out there who want to join social groups such as Twitter for advertising purposes.  There are people who spend their time as a professional Twitter contributor.  Companies will hire people who are great at blogging, research, and social media.</p>
<p>Keep an eye out for companies looking for people to place reviews on Twitter. Many companies will pay a certain amount per review that you post.  This saves them time on advertising.  They will pay you, because it is well worth it for them to have people out there spreading the word about the quality of products.</p>
<p>Twitter is a great place for all the affiliate marketers out there.  You can use your messages to send out website links.  Twitter is a great place to gain exposure and get clicks and sales on items that you have chosen to use from your affiliate companies.</p>
<p>Music is a great item to sell on Twitter. Music and video downloads are in the spotlight right now. Companies will pay you great money to post ads on Twitter.  They will often pay you a percentage of the sale, a set price per click, or a certain amount for placing the advertisement.  Twitter is a hot spot that almost every company is willing to pay in order to get their trendy products on the market.</p>
<p>People are actually being paid for Twitter consulting.  Companies that are looking to advertise will pay people to educate them about Twitter.  This is a great way to make cash if you are Twitter savvy and in the know.  Usually companies are just looking for enough of the basics to do advertising.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the ways that people are making money on Twitter.  If you are looking for some cash try these options.  There are many other ways that Twitter can bring in cash.

</div>--></div><p>Let&#8217;s face it, Spam sucks. It has plagued us for so many years through our personal and business email accounts. It tells us we should order viagra, it tells us we are fat, it even<br />
contains malware that attempts to phish out your personal bank and social media login credentials.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/The-7-Most-Effective-ways-to-Deal-with-Twitter-Direct-Message-Spam.jpg" border="0" alt="The 7 Most Effective ways to Deal with Twitter Direct Message Spam.jpg" width="285" height="421" /></div>
<p>The sad fact of the matter is that Spam is here to stay. As filtering algorithms get more and more sophisticated so does the methods in which spam is distributed. According to the <a href="http://eval.symantec.com/mktginfo/enterprise/other_resources/b-state_of_spam_report_11-2009.en-us.pdf" target="_blank" rel='nofollow'>State of Spam Monthly Report from Symantec</a>, on average,  87 percent of all email messages sent in the month of October 2009, were Spam. It&#8217;s in our mailbox&#8217;s and it now plaques us in our social media presence.</p>
<p><span id="more-1104"></span></p>
<p>If you find yourself frustrated by tons of Twitter Direct Message Spam here are a few simple alternatives to help you deal with this unproductive annoyance.</p>
<p><strong>1. Unfollow All Followers</strong> &#8211; This would be the most simplest solution, but I would not advise it. They are so many great Tweeps out there that you run the risk of missing out on some good information. Not to mention you take on the status of one who takes but never gives back.</p>
<p><strong>2. Turn off your Direct Message Emails</strong> &#8211; While this will not eliminate direct message spam completely, it will cut down on the number of email messages you have to sift through on a daily basis. Making it more feasible for you to actually read your legitimate emails.</p>
<p><strong>3. Get a Twitter Manager</strong> &#8211; Use a third party Twitter manager such as <a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/" rel='nofollow'>Tweetdeck</a> or <a href="http://socialite.emberapp.com/" rel='nofollow'>Socialite</a> to quickly filter your DMs. If your check your twitter account on a regular basis, having a third party manager will allow you to quickly skim over your direct messages and find the ones that truly interest you. Spammers are smart, but they are not too creative when it comes to making the actual spam messages. Many of them will follow a similar pattern and you will be able to quickly spot the ones that you really need to read.</p>
<p><strong>4. Don&#8217;t read your DMs</strong> &#8211; Make it public to your users that you do not read your DMs and offer them an email with pretty decent spam filter protection &#8211; such as gmail. Put your email on your twitter background. This makes it much harder for spammers to target you, because many of the custom spammer programs do not have OCR functionality built into them. While this is possible it becomes very costly for spammers to scan every tweeps&#8217; background for emails, not to mention it would be pretty fruitless for the spammer due to the time constraints and relatively small returns from emails collected.</p>
<p><strong>5. Block the user(s)</strong>- if someone is spamming you with such promises of getting 20,000 followers in 3 days and they have only 20 followers. Block the user. If enough users block the spammer, Twitter will eventually take notice and suspend the account.</p>
<p><strong>6. Become a Hermit</strong> &#8211; Make your tweets private, if you are into twitter just for connecting with friends and family &#8211; you know beyond the virtual realm &#8211; this option may seem to offer you the best chance for spam freedom. By making your twitter feed private you are in control of who will and will not be able to DM you.</p>
<p><strong>7. Use the Spam button </strong>- If you notice that your are receiving spam from certain character and you are 100 percent certain that they are truly a spammer and not the victim of credential theft. Go to the user&#8217;s account and fire off the spam button. From here you will be asked to confirm your decision and the user account will be flagged for review.</p>

<p>It seems, no matter how many times it has been blogged about, tweeted about and emphasized, some people still don’t get it. Twitter was <em>NOT</em> invented as a market place, and while it certainly can be profitable for many there are some basic rules. No doubt I am preaching to the converted here but let’s say it one more time – “Twitter unto others as you would have them Twitter you.” It is all about interacting and building trust.</p>
<p>If you are a nOOb to Twitter or online business take a step back and consider the real world. Think about the products you buy and the services you use. When it comes down to having a choice what or who do you go to? The product and/or person you trust! This is where Twitter’s real value is for business, not for stuffing your product, blog or website in people’s faces. It is about the opportunity to build trust.<span id="more-951"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Do you think people are going to trust you if they never see you?</li>
<li>Do you think people are going to trust you if the only things you tweet about are your products or services?</li>
<li>Do you think people are going to trust you if the only tweets you make are automated links to your website?</li>
<li>Do you think people might start to trust you if you share something funny or interesting?</li>
<li>Do you think people might start to trust you if you show you are listening?</li>
<li>Do you think people might start to trust you if you thank them for listening to you?</li>
<li>Do you think people might start to trust you if you show appreciation and humility?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Ways to do it:</strong></p>
<p>Find interesting stuff to share and talk about: If you are working in a particular niche, find interesting articles based around that. Use the search engines, blogs, and sites like Digg. Sure it takes a little time, but not a lot more than “Here’s my site” or “Going to walk the goldfish” Use other people’s Tweets and retweet them too, they will love you for it.</p>
<p>Respond to other people’s tweets. If someone tweets about their blog take a quick look, maybe leave a comment (not just –cool –here is my site). Tweet back with something useful like – Never used brown sugar before must try it (something that shows you found something). Or again, retweet.</p>
<p>Thank people when they respond to your tweets or retweet you.</p>
<p>Thank people for following you (if they are genuine), give credit where credit is due. If you are using someone elses tweet or post from somewhere acknowledge them.</p>
<p>Always remember, it is OK to have an opinion, <strong>it is not OK to be rude</strong>. Be your self and be thoughtful of others. This is perhaps even more important on the internet than in real life.</p>
<p>By following these simple Twitter guidelines people will come to know and trust you. If and when they are ready for your product, service, or website they will go there with trust and goodwill.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_top_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><!--<div style="text-align:center;">
<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=553499&c=ib&aff=97709&cl=88539" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/ads/digwp-468-60-01.jpg" alt="image" width="468" height="60" border="0"/></a>
</div>--></div><p>Whether you are using Twitter purely as a means of socializing, or as tool to get your self or your site noticed you will need to have something to say. Now I am not suggesting your life is so boring you can’t think of anything but … you can only talk so much about your cat or the man at the local corner shop right? For marketers there is nothing that will kill you faster on Twitter than having nothing to add but a link to your own site. So where just can you find interesting stuff to twitter about?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/somethingToTwitterAbout.jpg" rel='nofollow'><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-866" title="Something to Twitter About" src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/somethingToTwitterAbout.jpg" alt="Something to Twitter About" width="393" height="305" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-864"></span></p>
<p><strong>Read Other People’s Tweets</strong></p>
<p>Follow links that other Twitterers use. You don’t have to read every page word for word. Learn to pick out keywords or ideas that are clear. You can then make useful tweets or retweets based on these.</p>
<p><strong>Keep up with Current Events</strong></p>
<p>Local, National and International News are always an area of interest on Twitter. Whether you are on the spot, listening to the news, or following it on the web, being informed is the best place to come from. If you are on the spot, take pictures and tell your story.</p>
<p><strong>Use other Websites</strong></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.digg.com" target="_blank">Digg</a> is a great source to find refreshing articles and blogs. If you interested in a particular niche, then search within that, or a related niche. You don’t need to read every article or post all the way through, or watch every video. Just get enough to give you a good idea of what is going on. Pick out key words and key ideas. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.stumbleupon.com" target="_blank">StumbleUpon</a> is another site that can bring up some interesting ideas to work from. Search through places like Yahoo Answers to see what people are wondering about and linking to as well as Twitter.</p>
<p><strong>Read</strong></p>
<p>Reviews are great reading. Read reviews on books, movies, music – anything. Books are a wonderful source of information and thought-provoking material. If you are a marketer you are probably thinking you need to look within the niche you are working with but this isn’t necessarily so. On Twitter you are a person, not just a business. The more you read the more you have to bring to others.</p>
<p><strong>Be Real</strong></p>
<p>More than anything else on Twitter it is important to be who you are. This doesn’t mean filling your tweets with lots of lol’s or ‘I’m going to grandma’s house’ tweets. You can save that for private chats. You don’t have to be a super brain or an expert either. Just be who you are and show interest in other people.</p>
<p>Stay interested and you will be interesting and build followers. Twitter is a great place to enjoy and learn. While it is good to follow and be followed you don’t have to be like everyone else. It doesn’t matter if you are a shy wallflower you have something to say. Every <strong>real</strong> person on Twitter is human too, and each person has something to offer. Everyone is an ‘expert’ at something so don’t be afraid to show your true colors.</p>

</div>--></div><p>Thousands of people continue to jump on the Twitter bandwagon. It is a great place to meet people, and can be a good marketing tool if used properly. There are common traps that a lot of n00bs and would be internet marketers fall into though.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/twitterTraps.jpg" border="0" alt="twitterTraps.jpg" width="282" height="425" /></div>
<p><strong>Infrequent or dull tweets:</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-851"></span></p>
<p>There is no need to spend your whole day tweeting, but at the same time if you are going to join you might as well be there. At the same time have something worthwhile to say. No one really wants to know how often you go to the restroom, or that you are about to leave for work. You may find a few friends who are interested in what you should wear to work for the day or someone who will point you to their website with the latest designer trends but ….Yawn. To put a slight twist on the old saying “If you have nothing to tweet, don’t tweet at all”.</p>
<p><strong>Spamming:</strong></p>
<p>Fortunately, most people are becoming aware that this is just not on, but there are still more spammers around than needed. Many people don’t even realize they are spamming, they are just so keen to ‘make money online the easy way’ and following some inept magic formula that doesn’t work. Rather than following any spammer’s links, report them to Twitter.</p>
<p><strong>Focusing on gathering followers:</strong></p>
<p>Sure everyone likes to have lots of followers, but are they real ones?  Many people use auto follow, or similar Twitter tools to follow almost anyone (usually related to a search term). I know one person who joined Twitter and only ever made one tweet. 6 months later he is still gathering followers! You have to wonder who, if anyone is benefiting from this kind of ‘following’.</p>
<p><strong>Time:</strong></p>
<p>Either spending too much or too little time on Twitter is often a trap for new would-be marketers. Twitter is a great place but it is easy to become distracted and wander off following links or twittering for hours on end. At the other end of the scale are those who try to automate every aspect of their Twitter account. Full automation is very recognizable and won’t get the marketer anywhere on Twitter.</p>
<p><strong>Getting hooked into make money scams:</strong></p>
<p>With Twitter becoming more and more popular so ‘get rich quick with Twitter’ schemes are also popping up in abundance. This is not to say they are all scams or won’t work, but be very cautious following up on these.</p>
<p>Twitter is a great place for making new friends and extending your knowledge. You can make money on Twitter, but be sure you go about it the right way. If you are new to Twitter and/or<a href="http://bit.ly/l8I5A" rel='nofollow'> marketing</a> you need to decide whether to dip a toe in and test the waters or jump straight in at the deep end. For the person who wants to socialize jumping straight in is fine. If you are planning to use Twitter as a marketing tool, it might be better to be a little more cautious.</p>

</div>--></div><p>It’s not hard to see that Twitter is really popular.  There are countless numbers of people who have joined and more people are joining every day.  But not everyone knows that along with the website there are some really decent applications that can be used in conjunction with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. If you use these applications, you are going to find that you are getting the most out of your Twitter experience.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twittercounter.com/" target="_blank">TwitterCounter </a>– If you are someone who already has a blog and who wants to let your buddies on your blog know how many followers you have on Twitter, t his is something that is going to allow you to do that.   The only problem is this –if you don’t have a lot of followers you may want to wait until you get some more.<span id="more-790"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twittercounter.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/twitterCounter.jpg" border="0" alt="twitterCounter.jpg" width="500" height="387" /></a></div>
<hr /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twuffer.com/" target="_blank">Twuffer</a> – If you are someone who does a lot of travelling, then this is something that you are going to want to look into. It will let you preschedule the tweets that you are going to post on Twitter. This way you can go away for a few days and no one will be the wiser.   This also works well if you know one of your friends has a special day coming up and you don’t want to forget it.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twuffer.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Twuffer.jpg" border="0" alt="Twuffer.jpg" width="500" height="497" /></a></div>
<hr /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitturly.com/" target="_blank">Twitturly</a> – Are you someone who is curious about the websites that other people are referencing on their Twitter accounts? That’s what this handy little tool does. It is tracking the websites that people are tweeting about.  If you are familiar with Stumbled Upon and Digg, this is similar.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://twitturly.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Twitturly.jpg" border="0" alt="Twitturly.jpg" width="500" height="437" /></a></div>
<hr /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tweetbeep.com/" target="_blank">TweetBeep</a> – Are you someone who uses the alerts from Google in order to keep an eye on your presence on the Internet? Then you are going to love this tool from Twitter.  It takes what Google alerts does and alerts you when you are mentioned.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tweetbeep.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/tweetBeep.jpg" border="0" alt="tweetBeep.jpg" width="500" height="331" /></a></div>
<hr /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://mrtweet.com/" target="_blank">Mr. Tweet</a> – This last application is something that just about everyone is going to want to use.  It is something that you can use to keep track of your relationships on Twitter and find people to network with in the business world.  Whether you are on Twitter for business or for fun, this is one tool that gets the job done.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://mrtweet.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/MrTweet.jpg" border="0" alt="MrTweet.jpg" width="500" height="428" /></a></div>
<hr />Even though Twitter on its own is something that is truly amazing, you are going to find that your experience is truly enhanced when you are combining this website with the tools that are listed above.  These are just five of the tools and applications that people are raving about, but they are some of the best.</p>
<p>Even if you aren’t the owner of a business and you are just tweeting for fun, wouldn’t it be interesting to know what others are tweeting about and if it has any impact on you?  Look into the applications and see what you think about them. you will not go wrong and you are going to find that you will enjoy your Twitter account much more because of them.</p>

</div>--></div><p>It&#8217;s funny how so many people go on Twitter and try to get followers, yet they do things that are completely wrong. They alienate their followers and then then wonder what that they did to make them leave.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/twitterFollower.jpg" border="0" alt="twitterFollower.jpg" width="425" height="157" /></div>
<p>If you are wondering how you should treat your followers on Twitter, here are some guidelines that you will find to be useful when it comes to followers.</p>
<p><span id="more-729"></span></p>
<p>- The first thing that you want to do is to make sure that you aren&#8217;t sending new followers an automatic message when they start following you. You should write the message yourself, but leave off any sales pitch. The last thing that the person is going to want is to be sold to immediately.</p>
<p>- When you get a new follower, follow them. This is common courtesy and it will show them that you have respect for them.</p>
<p>- If you are not following someone, don&#8217;t send them a direct message. It would not be fair, because they are unable to send you one back until you are one of their followers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that you should be treating your followers with respect. They started following you because there was something about you that intrigued them and made them want to know more. But if you are going to insist on treating them badly or all you are going to do is offer them meaningless prattle instead of tweets they can use; they are going to stop following you and encourage others to do the same.</p>
<p>Remember, there are real people behind the Twitter accounts. When we don&#8217;t see someone face to face, it&#8217;s hard to remember that ‚all	 is not automated. So you should treat the people that are following you as you would treat any person that you meet personally.</p>
<p>Your followers are going to appreciate your efforts to thank them and to reciprocate the fact that they are following you. If you have a business, having a good relationship with your followers is important and may lead to more sales. But even if your Twitter is a personal one, a little courtesy is going to go a long way. You never know when you are going to appreciate the fact that you have so many loyal followers.</p>
<p>Twitter, like so many other sites, is a place where you give and take. If you have people who have stuck with you through thick and thin, make sure that you are thanking them. Make sure that you are asking them how they are doing and do what you can to give them information that they can actually use.</p>
<p>The best way to do this is to start following them. Imagine their surprise if they post a problem that they are having and you post a solution to that problem. That is something that keeps your followers loyal and makes them want to read more of your tweets.</p>

</div>--></div><p>Almost everyone is familiar with or has heard of Twitter. They know that it’s a great place to meet friends and share your thoughts with others. But Twitter has much more to offer than just sharing your thoughts and meeting other people. You can also save money on Twitter as well.  The following paragraphs list just a few of the ways that you can save money with Twitter.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/twitterSaveMoney.jpg" border="0" alt="twitterSaveMoney.jpg" width="424" height="283" /></div>
<p><span id="more-554"></span></p>
<p><strong>Find Deals</strong></p>
<p>One of the best ways that you can save money with Twitter is to find good deals.  A lot of retailers are actively on Twitter now and there are more of them joining each day. There are some of these retailers who are giving out codes for coupons as well as customer support.<br />
There are two sites that help you find your deals on Twitter.  There is <a href="http://twitter.com/CouponTweet" rel='nofollow'>CouponTweet</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/cheapTweet" rel='nofollow'>CheapTweet</a>, and they find codes and deals on Twitter that merchants have posted and put them in lists.  Both sites categorize the deals, let the users vote for the ones that they think are best, and give people tools to help them share the deal with others.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p><strong>Save Gas Money</strong></p>
<p>With summer being here and so many people doing a lot of driving, there are people who are looking for ways to save on gas.  There is a great application on Twitter known as <a href="http://www.fuelfrog.com/" rel='nofollow' rel='nofollow'>FuelFrog</a> that lets you log the mileage between your fill ups, how much the gas cost when you filled up, and how many liters or gallons you put into your tank.  Then the site creates a log of your car’s fuel consumption and graphs of average amount of miles per gallon.</p>
<p>This is information that can help you take a look at the driving habits you have and adjust them so that you can burn less gas and save more money.  It will also help you to figure out when you should get your car serviced and add air to your tires.</p>
<p><strong>Stick to a Budget</strong></p>
<p>An application that is known as tweetwhatyouspend is something that is like the <a href="http://www.fuelfrog.com/" rel='nofollow' rel='nofollow'>FuelFrog</a> application, but it applies to what you are spending.  This site encourages the users to record when they have made a purchase by direct message on Twitter.

But did you know that there are some really great research tools that can be used in order to get pertinent information.  Below are six of the most popular tools that can be used to find out stats and other information.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/twitterResearchTools.jpg" border="0" alt="twitterResearchTools.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></div>
<p><span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.trendrr.com/" rel='nofollow'>Trendrr</a> – This application is one that is becoming a favorite for analysts who want to keep track of the different trends and compare the information that they gather.  It’s something that tracks the different social media platform statistics, but when it’s used for Twitter, the search engine graphs provided are highly invaluable.  The graphs provide the graphing for the keywords that are mentioned on an hourly basis.</p>
<p><a href="http://tweetmeme.com/" rel='nofollow'>Tweetmeme</a> – If you are someone who wants to perform research on link-sharing and retweeting on Twitter, this is something that will provide the stats for retweeting articles.  It’s something that works best for the more recent events, but there is something that provides legacy.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p><a href="http://www.xefer.com/twitter/" rel='nofollow'>Xefer Twitter Charts</a> – This is another way that people and companies can research the individuals who are on Twitter.   This is something that graphs the tweets and replies using Google Charts and Yahoo Pipes in order to display the information hourly.  It also shows all the @replies that have ever been used by a person and it’s sorted by the person.  It’s an easy and quick way to find out who they favor the most.</p>
<p><a href="http://tweetstats.com/" rel='nofollow'>TweetStats</a> – If you are interested in knowing how often you have tweeted, then this is a research tool that you are going to love.   It’s one that makes a graph of when you are tweeting, how often you are tweeting, and the habits of your @reply.  This is useful for knowing how you or someone else is using Twitter. <em>It should be noted that this site is temporally down.<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.twellow.com/" rel='nofollow'>Twellow</a> and <a href="http://wefollow.com/" rel='nofollow'>WeFollow</a> – These are two directories of Twitter users, and they are both useful if you are looking for people who have similar hobbies or are in similar industries, as well as where they are located.  This is useful for companies who are interested in finding people who are interested in certain things or who work in a certain industry.  This is a good way to find potential customers.</p>
<p>If you are someone who owns your own business and you want to know about what people are interested in, the research tools which are listed above are going to help with running your business better. But they are also handy if you are someone who enjoys knowing the statistics of Twitter users around the world.  It’s really fun to take at the information and see what the hot topics of the moment are, and to get in on the conversations.</p>
<p>Whether you are looking for information about your business or you are someone who just is curious, the research tools listed above are something that can give you the information that you are looking for.</p>

</div>--></div><p>Are you someone who has a question that you want to have answered? Are you looking for an answer to your question on Twitter? Then you are in luck, because there are four other places that you can go in order to find the answers that you are looking for on Twitter.</p>

<p>This is a site that goes and searches the Twitter website for phrases like “why does?” and “is there anyone who knows?” and collects them all in one specific place.  There is an option for people so that they can answer the questions, as well as a list of the popular terms. The only bad thing is that the site doesn’t have the answers listed anywhere.  This makes it less useful than it could ever be.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p><a href="http://toanswer.net/" rel='nofollow'>ToAnswer</a></p>
<p>This is the most elegant of the different sites represented by far.  This is a site that allows you to ask questions on Twitter simply by prefixing the questions with @toask.  The answers to the questions are displayed in an interface that is like Twitter, and the questions are through a window that is lightbox-style and it opens with your own Twitter account.  The only problem is that there aren’t any real answers, and this means that the Twitter community hasn’t taken notice of it yet.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitqa.com/" rel='nofollow'>TwitQA</a></p>
<p>This is one of the newer sites, and it allows you to ask questions in different kinds of categories, like travel, business, finance, sports, health, and cars.   This is a site that recognizes the questions that people ask and fetches them right from the feed of Twitter.  This makes the job of populating the database for questions much easier.</p>
<p><a href="http://twtpoll.com/" rel='nofollow'>Twtpoll</a></p>
<p>For people who love to create polls, this is one site that they are going to love.  You create a poll, add some answers for that poll, and voila, you are done.  All you have to do then is to share the poll, whether it’s through Twitter, <a href="http://www.facebook.com" rel='nofollow'>Facebook</a>, or email.  When you are on the site, you have the ability to look through the recent and popular polls, each of which has its own link and a graph.  You can also upgrade to another service which is going to let you brand your own poll page.  The price of the upgrade depends on how much you want o send.</p>
<p>As you can see, there are quite a few ways that you can have a question answered on Twitter.  Explore each of these different options, and see which one is going to work best for you. You may decide that you want to use all of them, depending on what your needs are.  You are going to find that each of them have their good traits and things that they have to offer.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter which of the ones you are going to use, because you are going to get the information that you need.  When you are interested in getting other peoples’ opinion, you are going to find that the Twtpoll is one of the best you will find.</p>

</div>--></div><p>With so many people becoming members of Twitter, both young and old, there are some people who wonder how they are going to be able to enjoy using it &#8211; and still keep themselves and their families safe.   But even though you may be a member of Twitter, it does not mean that you have to compromise your safety or the safety of your family. Below are just a few tips that may help you to maintain peace of mind.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tipSafeTwitter.jpg" border="0" alt="tipSafeTwitter.jpg" width="462" height="260" /></div>
<p><span id="more-220"></span></p>
<p>- <strong>Restrict Who is Able to see Your Tweets</strong> – The first thing that you want to do is to restrict who you are allowing to see your Tweets. You can go into your privacy settings and only allow the people- who you trust &#8211; see the Tweets that you are posting.  Once you are comfortable with your followers, you may expand your list.</p>
<p>- <strong>Restrict Details When Not at Home</strong> – The second thing that you may want to be sure to do, is to restrict what you say when you aren’t at home. It’s not too hard to find out personal details about someone, and if criminals know that you are not at home they are going to take advantage of that knowledge.  With the use of applications like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tweetlater.com" target="_blank">TweetLater</a>, you don’t even have to tell people that you went anywhere.  You can schedule tweets to post &#8211; as need be &#8211; and tell them about the trip when you are back at home.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p>- <strong>Don’t Say Where You’re Headed</strong> – Along with not telling people that you are going to be away; you also don’t want to tell them where you are going on vacation.  If they live in that area and you have posted a picture of yourself, they may use that to do you harm.  Again, you can tell them about your trip when you return safely.</p>
<p><strong>- Don’t Spill the Beans</strong> –The final thing that you want to do is to limit the posts that you make on Twitter to yourself. You don’t want to go blabbing about your friends and family unless you have their permission to do so. The last thing that you want to do is to risk someone you care about being harmed because you accidentally said that they were going on vacation.</p>
<p>Twitter is something that is a lot of fun and can help a lot of people, but it‘s important that you have fun doing it without risking the safety of your home and your family.  Nothing is worth that, and with so many people on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, you never can be certain if they are there dishonorable intentions.</p>
<p>With so many people losing their identity these days, of course you want to make sure that you never give out credit card information or your social security number over Twitter, no matter how well you trust your followers.  Never tell them your address or your phone number; it may put you and your family in danger.  Even though you know that you are harmless, the people that you are talking to on Twitter may not.</p>

<ol>
<li>The first thing that you want to do is to get logged on to your Twitter account.  This will involve entering your username or email as well as your password.</li>
<li> Next, you want to select your followers from the sidebar on the right hand side of your screen. The area that you will want is the column in the middle, which is going to be right under the image you chose for your profile.  When you click on it, it will take you to those users who are currently following you.<!--adsense--></li>
<li>Look through the followers to find the one that you have decided to block. Depending on how many people you have following you, this may take several minutes. You will find that it’s easier thanks to the scrolling option at the bottom of the page.</li>
<li> When you have found the person that you want to block, you will then need to choose the block option next to the name of the follower.  After making your selection, you are going to be taken to yet another screen that is going to make sure you really want to block the person that you have selected.</li>
<li>The last step will be to confirm that you want to block that follower.  Once you have selected the confirmation, the person will be removed from the list of your followers.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you have decided that you are going to block someone who has been following you on Twitter, there are a few things that you should keep in mind.</p>
<ul>
<li>You will only be able to unblock someone after you have added them back as one of your friends again.</li>
<li>If you want to block everyone from following you, you can go select the option to protect updates on your settings page for your account.</li>
<li>When you have blocked someone from following you, they will no longer see you on their friends list.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you get upset with one of your followers, don’t make a rash decision unless they are really bothering you.  It may have simply been a misunderstanding. Let yourself sleep on it for a night or so and then look at the situation in the morning.  Usually things look brighter in the morning, and you will feel better knowing that you didn’t make a decision that you would react when you were still angry.</p>
<p>Blocking a follower on Twitter is something that you should think about thoroughly before deciding to do it. It may lead to bad feelings and put you in a worse position than you are in currently. Weigh the pros and cons and then make a rational decision about what to do.</p>

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=553499&c=ib&aff=97709&cl=88539" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/ads/digwp-468-60-01.jpg" alt="image" width="468" height="60" border="0"/></a>
</div>--></div><p>One of the biggest mistakes when it comes to Twitter is that people assume that it isn’t a good copywriting tool because you don’t have a lot of room to say what you want to say. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are smart and post intelligently, you can use Twitter extremely effectively to promote your business or your knowledge.</p>
<p>Here are some good tips to remember when you are using Twitter for copywriting purposes. They are going to help you make your readers interested in what you have to say and keep them coming back for more.<span id="more-147"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Fotolia_15305296_XS.jpg" border="0" alt="Fotolia_15305296_XS.jpg" width="346" height="346" /></div>
<p><strong>Personal</strong> – The first thing that you want to do is to be personal with your readers and followers. That doesn’t mean that you are going to tell everyone about their private lives. It means that you should thank them by name for their questions and for following you.  You can also ask them how they are doing and remember their birthdays or other special events in their lives if you are aware of them.  This will show them that you are interested in their needs.</p>
<p><!--adsense--></p>
<p><strong>Speak clearly</strong> – One of the biggest mistakes that people make when it comes to Twitter is that they use Net speak in order to conserve space.  Even though a lot of people are aware of what the abbreviations mean, there are still some who will not understand.  Use complete words when you are Tweeting. It looks better to your readers and it won’t frustrate those who are not versed in Net speak.</p>
<p><strong>Keep Tweets Relevant</strong> – If you have a business, you are going to want to make sure that you are Tweeting about things relevant to your business. People are following you because they want the advice and the tips that you can give them, not because they want to know what you are eating or drinking.  The more information that you offer them, the more they are going to follow you and the more likely they are going to be to become customers.</p>
<p><strong>Keep Up With It</strong> &#8211; The worst thing that someone can do when they are using Twitter for copywriting purposes is to become lax in their posting.  If you don’t keep writing, at least once a day, people are going to forget about you and they are going to lose interest in what you have to say.  If it helps, make a list of relevant posts that you want to Tweet about at the beginning of the week and set up reminders to yourself to post them.</p>
<p>Even though Twitter only allows for short posts, it’s easy to see why it can be a very good copywriting and marketing tool for any business. Sometimes less is more when it comes to information that people want to know.   Give them information that they can read in a short period of time and that they are going to be able to use, and it will keep them coming back again and again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_top_1" style="margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"><!--<div style="text-align:center;">
<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=553499&c=ib&aff=97709&cl=88539" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/ads/digwp-468-60-01.jpg" alt="image" width="468" height="60" border="0"/></a>
</div>--></div><p>If you have signed up for a Twitter account and you don’t have anyone following you, you may be wondering why.  You may be wondering what you can do to remedy this, and if there is anything specific that you  can do in order to make people want to follow your posts.</p>
<p>Here are some things that you may find useful in getting people to sit up and notice you on Twitter.</p>
<div id="attachment_53" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-53" title="Follow Me" src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Fotolia_990739_XS-300x215.jpg" alt="Follow Me" width="300" height="215" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Follow Me</p></div>
<p><span id="more-52"></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Create a profile</strong> – The first thing that you should do is make sure that you have created a profile on Twitter. List your interests, your age, your gender, anything that may make people interested in getting to know you better. People are going to be more likely to follow someone if they find that they have the same type of interests that they have and not a blank bio.</p>
<p><strong>2. Post regularly </strong>– The second thing that you can do to make people want to follow you is to post regularly. Share intelligent ideas and links to interesting web copy. This is going to let people know that you have things you want to say and you are not just another automated “twitter bot”.</p>
<p><strong>3. Be yourself</strong> – Thirdly, make sure that your are not acting like someone you are not. That is, you should act naturally. Don’t post a bunch information and thoughts and then turn around and change on people. This is not cool.  Just be yourself and you will find that people are going to like you for you.</p>
<p><strong>4. Don’t Post Inane Posts</strong> –Yes, people are interested in what you have to say but you don’t want to post something on Twitter simply to post something. Don’t post things like what you are having for lunch or what you are watching on television unless you are really excited about it. People are going to get turned off by nonsense posts, and they would rather not read anything at all.</p>
<p><strong>5. Don’t Get Upset</strong> –If you see someone has stopped following you on Twitter, don’t get upset. It’s not the end of the world. Don’t go begging them to come back and follow you again. Maybe they just need to take a break.  Try different tactics in your postings and give them time.</p>
<p><strong>6. Build Relationships</strong>- Many users think the only way to get followers is to blast an innate amount of auto posts from blog feeds and/or other automated software. This could not be farther from the truth. In fact, some may find this type of behavior to be considered “border line spam”.  Instead, try engaging some of your followers. If someone new follows you, send them a reply and ask them how they day is going. If they post a tweet about something interesting, <a title="ReTweet" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/Retweet.html" target="_blank">Retweet</a> there post, ensuring you give them the proper credit.</p>
<p>Twitter is a great place where you can meet other people, exchange ideas and information. Whether you are looking for an online friendship or something more, you are going to be able to find people who share your interests and your passions.  Just ask yourself what it is that you are interested in reading about on other people’s Twitter pages. If it’s something that you don’t want to read, chances are others aren’t going to want to read it on your Twitter page either.</p>

<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=553499&c=ib&aff=97709&cl=88539" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/ads/digwp-468-60-01.jpg" alt="image" width="468" height="60" border="0"/></a>
</div>--></div><p>Everyone knows that Twitter is a good place to meet people and to get updates on news.  But there are also a lot of different things that you can do to help yourself.  Here are some of the things that you can do on Twitter to help your health.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-33" title="Hot Stone Treatment" src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/twitterHealth-300x200.jpg" alt="Hot Stone Treatment" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>-Look for Recipes</strong> &#8211; The first thing that you can do is search for healthy recipes on Twitter. With so many different people on Twitter, there are going to be a lot of tasty recipes that they are going to exchange.  Chances are that the recipes are going to include the calorie counts as well.</p>
<p><span id="more-31"></span></p>
<p><strong>-Look for Diet Tip</strong>s – The second thing that you can do to help your health on Twitter is to look for diet tips. Chances are good that there are going to be a lot of people on there who are trying to lose weight, so diets should be a very hot topic on Twitter and should yield a lot of results. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any diet.</p>
<p><strong>-Search for Home Remedies</strong> – If you have a lot of health problems and you aren’t keen about taking pills, you can look into different natural remedies for what you can use to achieve the same results.  Again, you should consult a doctor to see what your special needs are going to be.</p>
<p><strong>-Get Exercise Tips</strong> – Another thing that you can do on Twitter is to find exercise tips from other Twitter users.  There are people on Twitter who are personal trainers and who will more than likely be willing to give you some advice.</p>
<p><strong>-Network With Others</strong> – The final thing that you can do with Twitter is to network with other people who have the same type of illnesses that you have. It always helps to know that you aren’t alone and to learn about others’ experiences.   You can share what has worked for you and what hasn’t worked, and you can also lend support to those who are having a hard time with their diagnosis.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-36" title="The red cross inside the tablet" src="http://www.webdoctus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/twitterRedCross-300x168.jpg" alt="The red cross inside the tablet" width="300" height="168" /></p>
<p>When it comes to your health, getting different advice can always be encouraging, especially when you are scared and unsure where to go.  There are a lot of doctors and other health professionals who are also on Twitter, so you can get some advice on what you are looking for.  Just remember that not everyone on there is going to know what they are talking about, so make sure that you consult your own doctor before trying something new.</p>
<p>Health is something that should not be taken lightly, so think carefully before you choose to change your regime. Check with your doctor, start out slowly, and talk to others about what you have learned.  Share your experiences with other people and give back to people the way that others have helped you.  It’s important to impart your own knowledge to those who are looking for it.  Twitter is a great place to exchange information and ideas, to help and be helped.</p>
