Is Internet Marketing Really For You? Value of Twitter
Has someone recommended that you should write a list of family and friends, so that you can contact them about your product and/or your business opportunity? If you’ve been in MLM for awhile, it’s likely you’ve done this already.
With the internet, there are much easier and more fun ways to creating lists. The best part of creating lists on the internet, is that you don’t have to approach people who haven’t asked about your product or opportunity. Instead of approaching people, you can provide information to your list, and those who are interested will check it out.
Build A List With TWITTER
One fairly new tool where you can build a very large list is Twitter. You might be wondering what Twitter is? It’s called a micro blogging tool, which means it is similar to blogging, except you write very small messages each time. It’s also different from a blog because when you write a post on a blog, that post (if it’s public) is displayed on your blog’s web page for anyone to see. With Twitter, your short message is available on a twitter page, as a “Tweet”.
In our next message, I will show you exactly how to set up Twitter and use it to build your list.

You can have a Very Large List with Twitter
With Twitter you can have a list or a following of hundreds (thousands eventually) of people and the list can grow every month. And, these people will share something in common with you. Perhaps these followers are scuba divers or musicians, wind surfers, or some other hobby that you are crazy about. Perhaps they are interested in a home business or in health or travel or real estate.
These people will grow to like you if over time you earn their trust and you prove to be a very credible resource. If you help them get something they want, without asking for anything in return (that’s a very important part of having a list), they will remember you.
Here’s an example of how you could make money from Twitter. Lets pretend that you sell something called “Acne Treatment”, acne being that horrible thing which often happens to teenagers, who get very upset about it.
What Happens With Your List of 10,000 Followers
You have a list of Twitter followers of around 10,000 followers that you’ve gathered over time. I am on your list and we might have sent each other private messages or public messages a number of times. Perhaps we’ve even spoken on a chat program and maybe we have never spoken personally at all.
You might have shown me a website which has some valuable information (valuable to me anyway) about music or scuba diving. I might have laughed at one of your jokes on Twitter or looked at your pictures and we shared some great places to go diving. You provided something useful to me, and I like and trust you much more than that guy who keeps sending me adverts on Twitter.
One day my daughter gets really upset about her acne, and she won’t even go to school. She won’t go outside the house, she’s so upset. She’s getting teased at school and none of the cures for acne are helping.
A Post on your Blog from a Tweet You Sent Out
Then, I remember a post on your blog. I remember at sometime you sent out a tweet showing your blog post about treating acne. So, I send you a message on Twitter and ask you about this Acne stuff you recommended sometime ago.
You write back a message saying “Why don’t you try it and if it doesn’t work I will give you your money back?”
So…. I buy the acne stuff because I’ve grown to like you over time and because I trust you.
I Buy The Stuff Because Of One Of Your Tweets
This stuff might not work for my daughter, but it doesn’t matter because at least we tried it and I know you cared enough to offer it to me. More importantly, this stuff just might work and my daughter will be really happy, and you have added some value to my life and to hers. You would feel pretty good about that and I would think you’re a pretty nice person. ( We certainly like each other more then we like the other guy who tweeted us to sign up with him immediately )
So what can happens now? Nothing else might happen and maybe every time I run into a friend with a teenager who has acne, I tell them about you. My teenager might tell all her friends, and they all buy the stuff from you. Perhaps my best friend is a skin specialist and the stuff works for her teenager! Maybe all I ever do, is recommend you, your Blog, and your product. I might tell my 20,000 Twitter followers, and lots of them have teenagers with acne also.
I might have thought it was so great how you help people like this, and I find out you make well over a $100,000 a year from doing this. I want to join your business and sell this acne cure stuff also. Now remember you have a lot of people following you on Twitter. And those people all have people following them on Twitter. Perhaps my happy skin specialist friend was following me on Twitter, and that’s how she found out about this acne cream.
If 1% Purchases Out of A List of 10,000 You Would Make $2000
Lets say you make $20 on each sale of this acne cream. With your following of 10,000 even if only 1% of those followers each month needed your product, that would be $2,000 a month for you. If each of those people recommended it to 3 people who liked it, then you would make an additional 6,000 every month. And, you would get more customers each month, so your income grows.
Teenagers use this acne stuff daily and it is bought every month for years. Some of your followers or my followers may want to join you in business and market the product also, so your income grows even more.
Build People or Relationship Power In Your Business
In summary, if you have an ever growing list of Twitter followers you can offer something of value to, with no strings attached ( this part is critical), and these followers have common interests with you, you can build “people power” or “relationship power” in your business. This works especially well, if followers on your list grow into friendships and partnerships.
Once you understand this concept of building relationships, you have an unlimited source of money, ideas, creativity, partnerships and ways to make a difference in the world.
It’s Fun and Exciting!
And once you get a taste for it, you will not want to go back to working a job in order to trade time for money again. You will have a passion for your MLM Home Business Opportunity and will want to continue it forever.
