Today I am celebrating some great blogs and bloggers I have found links to on Twitter.
This isn't because I am too idle to write something myself, but because unless you follow these particular people on Twitter or subscribe to their blogs, you might otherwise miss them and they really are important topics.
The first blog is dedicated to giving its readers good tips about using Twitter to the best effect in their marketing. The blog is edited by Darren Rowse, but includes guest writers. The post that caught my eye is by Crystal N Woods who demonstrates how Twitter helps to identify and reward good bloggers and those who have particular skills in specific areas of internet marketing. See here. This is the second in a series and you'll find the links to the other one at the end, along with some excellent basic tips for Twitter beginners that you should also read and absorb.
The next blog I want to mention covers an area that I've never got into - video marketing. Most opportunity websites you visit these days has one or more videos, so at some stage I may have to.
This post is a useful and intriguing reference to how to use a bit of psychology to do it and make your production stand out from the crowd. This will make you think a bit - how could you promote your business or product without actually MENTIONING it? Find out here. Kudos goes to Andy J Hunt - link is to his Twitter page.
The last is a site rather than a blog. Most of us will now be members of a whole variety of social networks - OpenNetworker is a useful way of tying all your networks together and 'cross fertilising' so that your friends discover new networks when you do.

Discounts, coupons and an income
So many things hit my inbox every week, I don't have the time to read most of them, and to be honest I can't recall why the email introducing me to MyWorldPlus made such an impression.
I've flirted with opportunities before that have a powerline and promise you that your upline's recruiting efforts will make money for you, but the results have been disappointing and I've left, having made very little.
Within a few hours of joining MWP absolutely free as a pre-enrollee, a constant stream of notifications arrived that promised me that I had money coming if I would only upgrade. I looked at the payplan and did the maths. It certainly looked like I was on to a winner, so decided to give it a try.
The payplan actually consists of a number of different income streams. Let's say you upgrade (and you must go for Member/Associate or you get no income). Then you don't do anything, just wait for your upline to carry on recruiting people into your line. There is a cut-off every Thursday at midnight Pacific Time. If at that point you HAVE upgraded, you will jump above anyone in your powerline who has not done so. They will carry on getting emails from MWP for everyone who joined the powerline after them who upgrades.
So the persuasion to join is very good, and it isn't just YOUR direct upline whose efforts you benefit from. The 74 people who I am earning on (as I write) who are not my personal enrollees were originally recruited by a whole load of different people. The percentage you get for each of those people every month, depends on your rank, and that depends on how many personal enrollees you have.
Another very attractive income stream is the retail bonus. You get a one off $25 for every person you bring in who pays the first month's $19.95 subscription and the one-off entry fee, so it only takes 3 people to come into your personal line, to be in profit. At that point your rank increases and you get a higher residual every month.
There are other bonuses too, which increase your income monthly and weekly. Retail bonuses are paid down several levels and they get paid weekly which is really good for putting you in profit fast. Other income is paid monthly. All income is paid by check in the US or GlobalXchange outside, and there is a low-cost ATM card so you don't have to worry about bank transfers.
That's the income side, but I didn't even mention the discount card yet. The main product you are paying for is a discount club. Now I have to be brutally honest. Inside the USA, the discounts you can get are wide and varied. In the UK, they are very limited, and if you don't play golf or stay in USA-based hotel chains, there really isn't much for you at the moment which is disappointing. Again, only inside the USA, you can also get money off coupons for the sorts of things families buy every week. Hopefully the range of benefits outside the USA will increase. The card is claimed to be worldwide, so look on the relevant page at what is available where you are.
However, if you look as the discount as a kind of icing on the cake, then any savings you make will be a nice extra, rather than the whole reason for joining. I can see in the USA, you could very easily make $20 worth of savings a week just on the sort of shopping and casual eating out you do now, which would cover your monthly sub more than 4 times.
I'm really impressed with the speed that you can earn money in this opportunity and the fact that you can sign up as a pre-enrollee and upgrade when you know you will be earning, and on that basis I would thoroughly recommend it.

Time for Twittertime
Apps for Twitter emerge almost daily, but I found one today that really floats my boat.
Twittertime, written by Howard Mark Mandel gives you the possibility to set up any number of tweets to fire off when you want them in the future. So, say you are on holiday and want to keep on tweeting without having to text them in or spend time promoting your business when you want to be relaxing by the pool and sightseeing.
You can set up tweets before you go, no limits about how far in the future! You could be on the 'other side' but if your Twitter account didn't get cancelled, and tweets are scheduled, they'll happen - spooky!
The app is still in beta, and Howard is keen for people to use it and email him about any bugs. The only one I have found so far is that the membership confirmation URL didn't work, but I could schedule tweets anyway.
Thanks Howard, well done.
