Nice post! Myspace Promotion is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.

This is awesome stuff, Bill,

Just downloaded your videos and can't wait to delve into them – after already having watched some of your other teaching videos on your site. There are a lot of twitter aps and courses but none as comprehensive and take-by-the-hand as yours.

Thank you!!! Will let you know how fast I'm growing my followers list and business!

I saw a comment by a person who refers to their self as deaf millionaire. I would very much like to get in touch with this person because I’m a late deafen adult on disability that is strugglingly a great deal online to make money. Phone calls from people who want to mentor me just doesn’t work. Yes, there is now such a thing in my area as captioned phone calls that relye on a third party and a computer to caption the voice of the person talking to you. However the captioning is often times a lot slower than the voice and this often times greats long uncomfortable delays in conversation. If your trying to do business with a potential customer this is often times enough to kill the deal. I just would like to know what tools and techniques the deaf millionaire uses to do business.

This is probably the best general twitter marketing break down that I have heard in a long time. It makes me think twice about all of the automation hype that marketers are talking about. Perhaps its quality that will really drive up conversions versus moving alot of materials on twitter.

I used the system and grew my followers to over 300 in less than 24 hours. Still growing. Yes I promote the system, BUT my real goal is to promote the information my 30,000 page web site (REindex.com) provides to real estate searchers. Relationships will grow as people see the useful info my posts and site have. Thanx for the system. Thanx for the update videos and info. I’m on twitter @realestateindex

There are thousands of Deaf Twitters who will also benefit from your tips, information etc.

THANK YOU for the tips, but mainly for trying to curtail the DMs and Direct Ads that are burying Twitter. Looking forward to more helpful info!
Twitter should be about ‘people’, not classified ads!

We are very excited about your twitter traffic machine and have currently started promoting the program. We probably need to obtain a copy of the program, but wanted to try and make some money to purchase it.

If you have a special discount for persons on disability, we wouldn’t hold it against you.

we have also started a little marketing co. to help others like ourselves, looking to earn money online with real proven products like yours so they dont get scammed.

we know there are people that are disabled that really could use the extra income so we figured we could promote and support them in finding legitamate programs so they dont get scammed out of there money, and really earn some extra money.
Any assistance or advise would be greatly appreciated

I really like you videos bill. I really liked all of the points but the first one is the best. First when the people didn’t have trust in me and I didn’t engage in twitter I had no clicks or anything but now I get some clicks and get some response. I will keep it up.

I will also look out for bubble tweet.
