The Golden Rule
If you are a spammer and spam your followers, you will FAIL. Period.
Ok, with that out of the way, let’s talk about Twitter for a second. Twitter is about opt-in relationships between people. No one is under any obligation to follow you, or listen to what you say. And they wont, unless you are adding value to their feed in some way.
How you choose to do this is up to you, but take some time to immerse yourself in the Twitter community. Understand the culture and participate every day. Once you’ve established yourself as an authority, you will find that your Twitter growth becomes viral.

How I Earned $250,000 With Just One Membership Site
In the year 2007 I finally made the leap and decided to release my own membership site. During the prior two years I was making a good living as a professional blogger. I wrote regular articles to my blog, Entrepreneurs- Journey.com, built up an audience and made money through advertising programs and affiliate marketing.
