If you like this post CLICK HERE to Tweet it to your followers!

Tip #1: Set up an auto Direct Message with the a link to your affiliate site stating that your site is the best thing since sliced bread! (This is just bad form and people keep doing it! It is a quick way to get unfollowed)

Tip #1: Do not engage in any kind of conversation, instead just post links to your website/blog/MySpace/Facebook Page! (Learn to make friends! Learn the game before you try and play)

Tip #1: ReTweet every link you see without checking it out first! (You may not want to be associated with a link that gets busted for something bad)

Tip #1: Ignore people when they ask a question that you know the answer to! (You'll make way more friends or contacts when you help out)

Tip #1: Sign up for every singe program that offers to give you 1000 or more followers without doing any work! (As quickly as these get listed they get crushed! The TOS says no automation)

Tip #1: Log in to Twitter and post 25 links and log out! (People will figure out that you are just there to get people to click your links, fast unfollow!)

Tip #1: Pick a Twitter name that really says who you are like MakeMoney4Nothing or BestMarketer or ILoveAffiliates! (I know my Twitter name is ClearNetworking but I am giving out free info and not selling a thing)

Tip #1: Act like every one of your followers is beneath you! (You followers are your bread and butter if you are trying to make money through using Twitter so treat everyone like they pay your salary, because, well, they kind of do or don't as the case may be)

Tip #1: Totally ignore everything directed to you via @replies or Direct Messages! (answering questions and comments directed at you proves that you are not a robot)

Tip #1: Tell people that they are stupid for not using your tested program! (If you have a good program for making money then good for you! Don't act like you are the end all and be all because of it)

Tip #1: Use an automated system to Tweet ads every minute of every day! (You'll get the boot FAST)

Tip #1: Use a famous person's name to spoof an @reply to make it look like they posted your link originally! This one can get you banned FASTER than you can say "@Twitter says go to my link!" (I have heard of several people trying this and getting into serious trouble. It falls under spoofing in the TOS)
