Has The Internet Become The New Economy?




A couple of months ago, I was having a discussion with one of my brothers about the state of the economy. We both agreed that our economy/economic structure would be changed forever. The way most people rely upon making money was going to have to change, our economy has just suffered the equivalent of a hurricane. Rocking the foundation like Katrina did.



That being said. We agreed that the internet was going to become the new economy. Think about it.



The unemployment levels are at its highest. Some states are suffering more than others, I believe Michigan leads the nation with more than 15% rate of joblessness. Going to get a job has become more and more difficult.



Stephanie Hood of Detroit, was a manager for a major wireless company before she was given the pink slip. Receiving a half way decent severance package from her old job, Stephanie decided to take the plunge into owning her own business. She had heard from another family member about making money online. Stephanie just didn't know how.



She and her husband had tried lots of make money from home programs, insurance, pre-paid law, cosmetics, you name it. And none had provided the riches they were seeking. Tired of looking for something and failing, Stephanie sat down with her cousin to find out what he was doing to generate such a huge monthly income. She knew he was always talking about something called 'Twitter.'



With her debts swelling out of control, Stephanie looked into a program that would teach her how to make money using Twitter. Twitter has taken the internet by storm with many business professionals working hard how to use it. The epitome of social networking, Twitter was providing her cousin with a way to make money.



"We were so disappointed, all we were getting were more and more bills, and no money. My husband wanted to give up."



Stephanie decided it was time to give Twitter a try. First she signed up and received 10 followers intstantly, people who just wanted to listen to what she had to say. Not saying much in the beginning, Stephanie hadn't figured out how to master the social networking site. She kept thinking to herself, 'who is interested in what I do all day?'



Armed with that thinking, little did Stephanie know, would bring her out of debt and receiving for the first time, an income that would help get her family out of bill trouble.



Of course, everyone may not be as successful as Stephanie, any amount of success you achieve is based upon how much time and effort you put into it.




Stephanie sent off for the Easy Tweet Profit kit for $1.95 (shipping and handling). She and her husband felt comfortable with the program because both CNN and USA Today had featured Easy Tweet Profit on their news shows. It was a risk free trial, and if all else fails, the couple realized they would only be out of $1.95, and they could keep the kit! They decided to make a go of it, because the investment could lead them to make an income of $250 to $800 or more a day.



Stephanie sent off for the Easy Tweet Profit kit in February 2009. She admits, she and her husband spent just a couple of hours a day with it. However, in April of 2009, they received their first check 0f $250 from Easy Tweet Profit. The jubilation they felt was indescribable! Finally, a way to make money online.

It's So Lonely On Twitter

It feels lonely when you post a tweet or update your status and no one responds. Can you imagine standing in the world just hollering and no one listens to you? That's what it feels like to some lonely tweeters and facebookers. I'm not one of them, but just suppose I was...this is what my day would look like.


Get up in the morning at 7AM checking my Tweetdeck for direct messages and replies. There are none. But, how could that be?


I mean, I posted some pretty interesting stuff all day yesterday. I poured my heart out into it. Where are you people? You must be tone deaf and Twitter deaf! Maybe I just need some new followers.


Is there a program out there that will get me more followers who will pay me some attention? I'm willing to pay for friends and followers. No matter what the cost!


Forget Twitter, let me go over to Facebook. I know they love me over there!


Checking Facebook, ok, ok, no responses to my status updates? What, there is even one of my friends who sent out an angry update in all caps talking about how he doesn't want to receive unsolicited party invites, and marketing messages to his inbox. The nerve! Everybody should like to party. And why are you on Facebook if you don't want to receive marketing messages?


I am so lonely. I wish someone would listen to me.


The above is just a scenario into the day of a Facebook/Twitter member who does not understand the rules of engagement. You've seen them; you've read their messages and updates. They hold no value to your life, so you don't reply nor do you retweet those updates.


One big thing many people forget that use Twitter and Facebook is, be engaging. If you are constantly shouting sales messages of your products or services, you will be avoided like the bubonic plague! Let your personality shine through, if possible.


I know that may be hard for some of you, because as a rule, we know that the internet is full of nerds and geeks. But, it is also home to a lot of non-geeky, non-nerdy types who know how to hold a conversation in real life...you know, day to day stuff.


There are rules of engagement when you use social networks, and if you find yourself feeling alone on Twitter or on Facebook, then you've probably been ostracized, silently. Similar to how you are in real life.


Here's a tip: change your ways, and you'll change your life. Quit doing the stuff that hasn't gotten you a response in the past, and try something new, like try to be a real person for once. See what that gets you.


That's real talk, and a Home Business Success tip.

How To Use Twitter As A Great Writing Exercise While Learning


One of the latest social networking phenomenons is Twitter. It seems to be on the mind of every celebrity, politician, student, business owner, and social maven.


If you aren't aware of what Twitter is, here is a brief description. Twitter lets you post (the catch is 140 characters total or less) what you are doing, thoughts on a subject, a plug for a product, or a hello to your friends. You follow Twitter users and they can follow you as well.



Here is where I have found a new use of the site. One of the exercises I am currently teaching is how to say what you need to in articulate sentences while still staying in the 140 character restriction.



Yes, there are ways to circumvent the limitations such as using u for you or 4 and not 4 but when you can get a full impact to the reader without having to abbreviate your thoughts, you have learned a valuable tool.



When you speak or write the key is to keep the attention of those that you are communicating with. We often find ourselves endlessly explaining something that could be stated in more concise patterns.



The exercise is can be advantageous for the sports commentator that has to get his point across between each pitch of a baseball game or in between downs of a National Football League broadcast. It can help somebody on a job interview think faster and better their choice of words. Maybe you are a business owner and need to get the attention of a future client in a couple of sentences, or you are writing a headline for a blog post.



Whatever the reason why not try this. Think of a message you want to get across to friends, family, co-workers, and so on. Start to write the contents in Microsoft Word. When you have finished check the character count and if it is over 140 try to condense it without using abbreviations and losing the meaning of your thoughts. The next thing you can do is to take something that you have already posted or written that is over 140 characters and see if you can truncate this as well. It is not always feasible to be effective with a word or character limitation but for practice it can only benefit your speaking and writing capabilities today, tomorrow, and further down the road. What have you got to loose but a few words. Good luck!
