First my deepest apologies for not being consistent and staying away from my blog as long as I have. The truth is, I have been struggling with my marketing and making money online and just went into a funk and almost gave up. But I’m not a quitter and I truly believe that financial freedom can be attained online. So in reality, quitting was never really a part of the equation and I just needed to rethink my plan of attack for achieving my goals.

So I stepped back from what I was doing, cut back on some of the monthly membership fees that I felt provided No value, refrained myself from falling prey to any more of the marketing Hype for the “next” Big Marketing Secret, and some how ended up spending a good deal of my time building relationships on Twitter.

Twitter, you might say? Why would you waste your time on Twitter? Why not market “harder” instead of spending useless hours on Twitter? Twitter is just a “time suck.” No one makes money with Twitter.

If this is what you’ve heard and this is what you believe about Twitter . . . You’re WRONG!!


I signed up with Twitter in the beginning of May and slowly started “tweeting.” I’m not going to get into explaining what Twitter is all about, as there are a ton of really good posts that do a great job of breaking it down. Here’s how others in the sphere explained Twitter.

In a little over 2 months since being on Twitter, I have discovered some of the BEST online marketers in the industry. Some well known marketers we all heard of and others, “hidden gems” that have, for the most part, chosen to stay underground. But regardless of whether they’re well known or not, I have found some incredible marketers and have made some invaluable connections! I’m not talking your “typical guru marketers” that are constantly promoting their products, don’t really care about you and constantly TAKE from the innocent and unaware. I’m talking “REAL” people who market with the “Pay It Forward” mentality and really care about those they have relationships with.

I am so happy I have found a way to learn marketing that not only doesn’t require me to compromise my morals and values, but will take me where I really want to be. I was exposed to and tried to learn from the Dark Side marketers in the past and I never felt completely comfortable with what they taught or how they marketed. Up until recently, I thought it was me just being a stickler for, truth and honesty. I probably should have listened to my gut when it would get all queezy while listening to their conference calls on how to market. I make every attempt to stay true to myself and don’t make it a habit to compromise my morals and values. Yet, and this is a Big YET, I was trying to learn from those who were asking me to do so – DUH? Hello?

I can go on and on but I think you get my point. Twitter is priceless and can provide an endless amount of value if you follow the right people. Hook up with the right “tweeples” and you’ll soon be privy to all kinds of free training, get answers to questions, and most importantly . . . meet quality people and establish quality relationships that can go beyond Twitter. Not to say you’ll never run into a jerk or 2, but not my experience yet and you get to choose who you follow.

With that being said, after you sign up with Twitter, look for me @quickreply, and let’s start tweeting!


Peace and Prosperity!
