Twitter 101 From A Pro Blogger

I joined Twitter back in October 2007 and up until now I only added fourteen updates. I’m not a big user obviously. Posting short (140 characters or less) updates on my profile just seemed like a waste of time.

Today I was looking at an article that SmartBrief sent me about Twitter. It was a nice piece by The Washington Post and it triggered my curiosity. I started a short search on how to use Twitter to draw traffic or even make sales. I’m going to add Twitter to my daily ‘to do‘ list. I guess I just needed a little inspiration.

Every blogger has heard of ProBlogger. I thought I’d follow the advice of Darren Rowse rather than buy another useless ebook promising to shed some light on the subject and delivering another waste of disk space. I’ll share the links I’ve used to educate myself. They’re all from Darren Rowse of ProBlogger.net. According to The Wall Street Journal Online, yes, I said The Wall Street Journal, Darren Rowse earned roughly $250,000 in 2007 off ads on three blogs he writes.
