Such fabulous posts. I skimmed through them but will be back when time permits to read them thoroughly. I’ve heard a lot about FriendFeed, but never researched it. It appears you have all I need to know right here, so I’ll bookmark this page and also subscribe to your blog. Thank you so much for the great resources that you undoubtedly spent a lot of time compiling.

@Barbara When I shared links to your excellent blog Derek asked me how I always managed to find such awesome bloggers. I do hope my readers head your way and I’ll be sharing your posts at FriendFeed and on Twitter too. You can expect to be linked into blog posts here as an additional resource.

@Matthew FriendFeed already IS really cool. I have ideas that could make FriendFeed the only Social Networking site other than Twitter that anyone would really need. I’ve got to get to work showing them what I mean.

@Mikes I just read a post that indicates that each Tweet is only seen for an average of five minutes. Even when you have thousands of Twitter followers any one Tweet is only going to be seen by a small fraction of them and only a few will take action.

Focus on making quality Tweets that contain keywords that are important to you because serious Twitter users use search to find what they want. If it weren’t for Twitter search it might send little to no traffic.

There are many posts that explain how NOT to use Twitter – and one important point is that you can’t just Tweet your own links. That will not work. You have to develop relationships.

Earning money online is NOT a fast or simple process. Don’t believe everything you read. DO focus on creating quality content and traffic in a specific niche that you have personal knowledge in.

Add affiliate programs specific to your niche. See the affiliate post I’ve linked to this comment for more tips.

Very useful information. Thanks.

InternetStrategist from GrowMap.com May 30, 2009 at 11:43 pm Twitter: @GrowMap: Hello Forex,

Either Forex trading is a huge niche or something I write and Tweet about appeals to that niche. I’ve seen more and more Twitter followers who have sites related to Forex. If you happen to know why I’d be curious to hear.

Forex is a massive niche and a lot of marketers are using things like Twitter a lot more to promotoe new products, which it seems are being released all the time.

Gail from Social Media Marketing February 7, 2010 at 4:37 pm Twitter: @GrowMap: Thanks Simon. I wondered why I get so many comments and followers interested in Forex. Now I know.
