Open Mic Monday: Do You Twitter?

Just Make Money Online:
Twitter is something I’ve been writing a lot about on my personal blog. One of my post popular Twitter articles is: Top 9 Ways to Use Twitter.
If you think I’ve always loved Twitter… Well, I have to say that I wasn’t always a fan. When it first came out, I signed up for it. Tried it. Then, immediately discarded it. Tried it again, still nothing. I even ended up deleting my first Twitter account. A few months later, I tried it again. Liked it a bit better. But, still felt lost on why I should use it. Tried it again. And slowly, I found more and more uses for it. Now, it’s part of my work and social life.
What about you? Do you use Twitter at all?
Our current poll already asks whether you use social networking as part of your online business or not. And, I was wondering if Twitter plays a role at all in your online work? If yes, how?
And, if you do Twitter, please feel free to share the URL to your Twitter account in the comments section below. Maybe fellow JMMO readers can check them out too.

Making Money Online: What Keeps You From Doing it Full Time?

Just Make Money Online: While checking out the making money online as an occupation poll results, and found out that majority of JMMO’s readers are not doing it full-time yet, it got me thinking what stops one from fully jumping into the make money online wagon.
There are lots of factors to consider before anyone can decide to drop his current day job and get into making money online full-time:
- Viability of the online business or online job. What job or business you’re going to work on will greatly affect your decision. Does this online business interest you enough? How saturated is the market? Is your skill set enough to grow in this line of business? These are just a few of the important considerations if you are to gauge whether you can survive the online jungle.
- Financial status. If you don’t have an emergency fund, let alone seed money, it will be harder for you to follow your heart and start that web startup.
- Dependents. If you have, say five kids, some in high school, some in College, and you are the breadwinner, it will make you think twice whether you’re going to be all out in pursuing an online venture, especially if you’re not so sure if it’s viable enough.
- Tools. Same with financial status, an example is if you’d like to be a full-time transcriptionist but you don’t have the funds to pay for a foot pedal and a decent headset, it may…

Internet Business Tools

Just Make Money Online: Over the last few years, I’ve been following various products, articles and newsletters from Trent Steele. Trent is the manager of the Internet Business Tools, among other online products. It’s one of Trent’s latest sites.
Internet Business Tools has a list of online business products that target people who wish to make money online - from building software empires and owning website templates to targeted email lists and fax marketing. However, you do not need to buy any of those products to benefit from the site, as it offers a free newsletter where each issue contains news, latest updates, and a free downloadable gift. Some of these “downloadable gifts” may even be sold by you - and you get to keep the profits.
If you want to know whether I’ve bought any products recommended by Trent Steele or not, I’m happy to say that yes, I have. Some of them are really great - and had no regrets. I’ve found some of them useful.
Of course, there are products that will not appeal to certain people. I’ve bought some of those too.
But, it depends on where you are in your online business - and what you wish to do.
In any case, if you’re interested, do sign up for Internet Business Tools.
Disclosure/Disclaimer: The Internet Business Tools site is connected with myHelpHub. And, I am an affiliate of myHelpHub. However, I will not make any money if you sign up for the newsletter. That’s completely…
