Before Making Money on Twitter
- Okay, it is common sense that if you want to do anything on Twitter, you need to create an account. But that alone is not enough. If you just put a name and nothing else, you simply won’t be interesting. Make sure to put your photo or company’s logo, appropriate username and bio, and a link to your website or blog.
- If you are not following anyone and don’t have any followers, it won’t matter how much or what you tweet. To make money at home using Twitter, you need to build a significant base of followers.
