When it comes to finding out how to make money with Twitter, there are a wealth of people out there purporting to be experts.

Some will tell you that in order to make some Twitter cash, you need to set up tons of accounts and then create automatic tweets in order to reach as many as possible. Others will tell you that you need to build a relationship with some core followers and grow from there.

The problem is that most of the information is either

• conflicting
• or created by people that aren’t really making much money from Twitter at all.

I was recently looking for a definitive guide to making money and building a monetised following from Twitter from people who not only know how, but are actually doing it.

True to form, I found a few products and checked them out. Most weren’t great, and some were just downright spammy.

One that I found that I really like (Twitter Cash Blueprint) was created by a young guy who’s just 15 years old. I actually met him at one of Mark Anastasi’s events in London and was impressed by how bright, intelligent and go-getting he was.

I wanted to show you exactly what Maksud has to offer so I’ve created a video review that takes you through the product, and shows you the entire thing. I’ve spent my money and time on this in order that you can see if it’s right for you. I’ve applied some of the strategies and listened to some of the interviews numerous times, and they work. They’re informative and actually contain great information about the business of internet marketing as well as Twitter marketing.

Enjoy the video. If you want to go straight to get Maksud’s product, click here.

OK, so first of all, I know it’s been a couple of weeks since I wrote on here. There’s a good reason for it.

I’ve been working on a strategy using Social Media (Facebook and YouTube mostly) to make money with affiliate marketing. I’m going to keep building this and working on it until I’ve got it cracked, then I can show you guys the results (which are already coming in). Better still, once it’s making me some good money, I can teach you how to do exactly the same thing to make money in your chosen niche. And in case you’re curious, no, I’m not targeting the ‘make money online’ market, but a little goldmine that I’ve found that very few people are exploiting.

All will be revealed soon. In the meantime, I’ve found a little gem that I wanted to share with you…

One of my first products online back in October 2009 was a guide to using Twitter to generate a following and visitors to your site. As part of the course, I shared the original version of this video with those that subscribed to my list.

The original video showed the incredible power of social media and the rise of ‘Socialnomics‘, a term coined by Erik Qualman in his new book.

This is the updated version and it shows you the amazing power that social media has. Just imagine if you could get even 0.001% of the traffic on Facebook to your website every month.

This will blow you away…

I asked my subscribers for their feedback recently. I simply posed the question: ‘What do you want to learn?’

One of the many replies I recieved was from a guy called Ian who asked a couple of very good questions. I thought that rather than just answering him via e-mail, I would share the questions and my answers to them.

So here goes:

Do you look for the niche first then create a product around it or do you have an idea for a product then research it’s viability?

This is an interesting one. The truth is, I’ve done it both ways but from my experience, there’s only one way that is very likely to work:

• Find a niche that you have some interest in – The interest isn’t vital but helps to determine where you start looking.
• Find out if there are people selling to that market – Run a search for all the terms you can think of relating to that niche and see if there are Google ads for it. Also look to see if there are people on the first page with things to sell on their site.
• Find out if there are people buying in that market (this is vital) – Forums within your niche are a good place for this. Also, look on Clickbank and Amazon to see if there are products out there. On Clickbank you can see if the product is actually selling.
• Find out what they want to buy – Note that I didn’t say ‘need’ to buy. Again, best way is to ask them. Go to forums and see what they’re discussing and what problems aren’t being solved well enough by others.
• Then create a product around that and place it on Clickbank.

When I first started, I created a product that I thought the market needed. It was a lot harder to sell than subsequent products because I was attempting to sell them something I thought they needed. In fact, I should have looked into what they wanted to buy. I also needed a market full of rabid buyers – ideally people who are obsessed by their field of interest. The classic example are golfers, but there are hundreds out there.

One advanced strategy that my mentor shared with me is

As you know, I’m a big fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. I was just watching this and wanted to share it with you:

Leave a comment below and let me know if you agree with what Gary’s saying.

‘Twitter Lists’ is the latest feature to make Twitter one of the best ways to disseminate information online. Not only that, it’s a great way of starting conversations with people in your niche.

And what better way to interact with them than grouping them together all in one place. You could have a variety of lists.

Let’s explore how to do that and some of the list possibilities:

I’ve just finished reading Gary Vaynerchuk’s book about social media marketing, where he also tooks about authenticity in business and as a brand.

Here’s the review! Thanks to Steve Watson and Nicola Cairncross for the book which I won at their event last year.
