United States and It's Fabulous 50

"The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!"

Henry Ward Beecher
1813-1887, Author

I just finished reading a wonderful article by Jim Rohn "Reaping a Multiple Reward". As I finished this article I started reflecting on one of my rewards from seeds that I had sown and I would like to share it with you.

It started when I was 21, I just got married to my high school sweetheart and had been working for one of the largest privately owned developers in Tulsa. To me my life could not be better, great husband and great job. I worked hard and gave 110% to my employer and I quickly reaped rewards. I started moving up the corporate ladder. I started as an administrative assistant in HR, then to administrative assistant to the CFO, then moved on to a assistant manager in the marketing department. I love my corporate job. I had a burning desire to learn and was always up for new challenges. My burning desire was paying off... I was rewarded with great pay and lots of respect. They valued my opinions and viewed me as a go to person. I did what it took to get the job done.

At age 25, I gave birth to my first daughter and now with that motherly instinct I had the desire to be a stay at home mom and raise my baby girl. It seemed like everything was falling into place like I had always dreamed. As a few months passed, something keep telling me that I needed to go back to work. Three months later, I did just that. I returned to work and I was able to resume my prior position. Within a month, I had mastered self discipline and was able to balance my personal life and work....so I thought!

This is when my life began to unfold, my young marriage would soon be something of the past. Not because I went back to work, but because I realized that my husband did not have the same desire to raise a family. He did not want the commitment of raising a family. Spending all his free time with his so called friends became his desire. That is when I realized I must do something about it, this was not how I had pictured raising my daughter. After several months of trying to reconcile with my husband and trying to get him to come home to be with his family, I could see that there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I filed for a divorce when my daughter was 6-months old, I was scared and did not know how I was going to raise a baby by myself, but I knew in my heart that is what I needed to do.

I was now labeled as a single parent. I had all the responsibilites of a new home, car payment, utilities, cost of raising a baby on my own, but I had the self disciple and knew that I could do it!

I wanted to have life balance and be able to teach my daughter values, that if you have the burning desire and the passion you can do anything that you want. I instilled in her at an early age to follow your Dreams, never give up.

Now 23 years later, I know that the seeds that I sowed paid off. My daughter is 23, she graduated from UofA with a BS in Family Studies and Human Development and a minor in Business. She has moved to Dallas to follow her dream since she was a little girl... to be a DCC! She has stayed focused on her dream and has not let go. I do take credit for that... and she always tells me that I am her ROCK! I am a very proud parent!

I left the corporate world four-years ago to pursue my desire to work for myself. I have a successful online marketing company working from home. It wasn't easy at first working from home, I had to apply self discipline. I soon realized that just because I worked from home I could not treat my business as a hobby. In order to have success, you have to apply self discipline and treat it as a million dollar business. Self discipline is key to your success.

You see, I did not wait for things to deteriorate so drastically, before I imposed discipline in my life. I seen that things needed to change and I took that leap and made those changes. I am grateful that I did.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this short reflection of my life and how "reaping what you've sown" can have a large impact on your life.

With that being said I would like to leave you with a excerpt from Jim Rohn's "Reaping a Multiple Reward" article that inspired me.

For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards. That's one of life's great arrangements. In fact, it's an extension of the Biblical law that says that if you sow well, you will reap well.

Here's a unique part of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. Not only does it suggest that we'll all reap what we've sown, it also suggests that we'll reap much more. Life is full of laws that both govern and explain behaviors, but this may well be the major law we need to understand: for every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards.

What a concept! If you render unique service, your reward will be multiplied. If you're fair and honest and patient with others, your reward will be multiplied. If you give more than you expect to receive, your reward is more than you expect. But remember: the key word here, as you might well imagine, is discipline.

Everything of value requires care, attention, and discipline. Our thoughts require discipline. We must consistently determine our inner boundaries and our codes of conduct, or our thoughts will be confused. And if our thoughts are confused, we will become hopelessly lost in the maze of life. Confused thoughts produce confused results.

Remember the law: "For every disciplined effort, there are multiple rewards." Learn the discipline of writing a card or a letter to a friend. Learn the discipline of paying your bills on time, arriving to appointments on time, or using your time more effectively. Learn the discipline of paying attention, or paying your taxes or paying yourself. Learn the discipline of having regular meetings with your associates, or your spouse, or your child, or your parent. Learn the discipline of learning all you can learn, of teaching all you can teach, of reading all you can read.

For each discipline, multiple rewards. For each book, new knowledge. For each success, new ambition. For each challenge, new understanding. For each failure, new determination. Life is like that. Even the bad experiences of life provide their own special contribution. But a word of caution here for those who neglect the need for care and attention to life's disciplines: everything has its price. Everything affects everything else. Neglect discipline, and there will be a price to pay. All things of value can be taken for granted with the passing of time.

That's what we call the Law of Familiarity. Without the discipline of paying constant, daily attention, we take things for granted. Be serious. Life's not a practice session.

The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose upon yourself. Don't wait for things to deteriorate so drastically that someone else must impose discipline in your life. Wouldn't that be tragic? How could you possibly explain the fact that someone else thought more of you than you thought of yourself? That they forced you to get up early and get out into the marketplace when you would have been content to let success go to someone else who cared more about themselves.

Your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. A warning of the consequences of neglect, self-pity, lack of direction and ambition... or an example of talent put to use, of discipline self-imposed, and of objectives clearly perceived and intensely pursued.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

When you first look at a network marketing opportunity most people are struck by the money that can be made. They get all excited and decide to start but they soon find out that there is more to it than just making money.

Every network marketing opportunity if done correctly is a chance to have a home based business that will eventually yield financial freedom. This happens over a period of time if you work the business.

The Key To Business is Lead Generation

Many businesses will tell you that they are successful because they know how to generate leads. Leads are easier to use than cold calling because if you find the ones that are already looking for an opportunity, you have less to do.

Some people purchase leads through Goggle and others have great systems for generating them. The more leads you have the more people you talk to and the more people will join your organization.

You must understand that generating leads is just one part of the process. You will also have to talk to people and know what to say to them when you call them to follow up on the lead.

The Key To Business is People

People do not like to be sold anything by a stranger. Because of this the way to get solid leads is to build a rapport first. By talking to people and letting them get to know you, you become someone they can trust. Once you have their trust you can find out what they need and see if you can fill the need.

Many people in network marketing make the mistake of trying to tell someone everything they could ever want to know about a business and more. The trick is to tell them a little and if they genuinely seem interested, you put them on with someone who knows more than you.

There are people in any network marketing business who have been in for a very long time. These people know the intricacies of talking to people and can help you with your calls.

When you start talking to people and they decide they want to join you in your business by creating their own business, it is very important to continue to talk to them. People have different learning curves and often the best producer will be someone who others will give up on.

In our experience, you can dig up dirt on any business online. Some of it reflects legitimate concerns and some of it is just people venting because building a REAL business takes REAL work. When our team members did their due diligence, some of them found unfavorable posts, but they chose to make up their own minds, rather than just believe the posts. So, they proceeded through the information and application process.

As they did, they found the process to be informative and fully transparent. For example, each of the concerns or complaints they found online were explained on the informationalwebsite in fully understandable terms. This really increased their confidence in the business.

So, we would encourage you to take your time on the site, be thorough in your review of the business, and make the best decision for you and what you want for your future. And remember, this business application process is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee; you may obtain a prompt refund if the program is not for you, so there is absolutely no risk for serious applicants.

This is a tough one because network marketing is about people. It is about talking to people who have an interest in a home based business opportunity and helping them see one that works for them.

Most people would say that you have to at least like people of you are going to be in network marketing. The reason for this is because you will be talking to hundreds of people over time. The good news is that if you find people who are already interested in an opportunity you don't have to talk them into anything.

Networking to Success

If you have ever gone to a networking event on or offline, you will know that it can be awkward. You don't know the individual and you are not sure what to say. You will meet people who are very friendly and they put you at ease. These are the people who are very successful because they have learned how to make people feel at ease with them right away.

If you totally do not like people you probably will not make it in network marketing. However, if you are willing to learn how to talk with people so that you can develop rapport easily, you will have no problem working within network marketing.

Lead Generation Helps Success

Most people do not have a strong method of lead generation. They think that they have to talk to their friends and family who usually are not interested in anything but going to work everyday. Those people who are the most successful in network marketing spend their time talking to people who are currently seeking opportunities.

Granted some people are only interested in looking but there are a few people who will be willing to take a chance on your opportunity if they see it as something that will benefit them. Your job is not to convince them but to show them the opportunity and help them use it to resolve a problem they need to resolve.

You do not have to be a people person to be successful in network marketing but it does help. You will need people to help carry the message about your opportunity to others and you will need to be able to talk to many people about how you can help them.

The myth of network marketing is that you have to sell products in order to make it work. Although there are many sales people in network marketing and there are people who sell it like it is a product, network marketing isn't about selling.

Network marketing is about building rapport with people and helping them resolve a problem. For many people a network marketing opportunity will help them get to financial freedom. For others it will help them make a comfortable living. If done well, an individual can be very successful.

Selling and Network Marketing

Many people would say that selling is the most important aspects of network marketing and in some cases this is true but there are two aspects of an opportunity that you must take a look at to see what you need to do.

On the one hand there is a product that can be sold. People can sell vitamins, travel, soap, natural drinks and more. These products are available for sale but most people do not sell them. Instead, they show people how their product can benefit them and can help them save money.

On the other hand there is a business opportunity. Many people try to make people jump into their business by pushing them to buy the beginning kit and getting involved. Those who are successful talk to people about the opportunity and wait for it to create a spark within the prospect.

Selling should have nothing to do with network marketing if you are able to build the rapport with people and present an opportunity that they can see as something they need.

I Don't Know Enough People

No one knows the many people who will be interested in a network marketing opportunity. If they did money would be made a lot faster. However, there are hundreds of ways to generate leads and the best ways tap into people who are all-day looking for an opportunity.

Lead generation is one of the many criticisms that people have with network marketing but it does not have to be difficult. There is a system that you can use that will generate more leads than you can imagine. This system allows you to talk to only people who are already looking for an opportunity so you do not have to sell anything.

If you want to earn thousands from your blog, a little bit of creativity will not hurt. If you have a sense of what works visually, you have one ingredient needed to succeed in this online money-making business. Why? Because creative and well-made ad banners can work for you. Here are tips on making ad banners that are simply “clickable:”

1. Make your ad banners straight to the point – You do not have write an intriguing tale to suck your readers in. A simple “EARN THOUSANDS EVERY MONTH” is enough.

2. Direct your ads to specific people – If a certain type of reader know that he can get something out of the ad, his chances of clicking on it is higher.

3. Use creative lines – Again, an intriguing tale is not needed. But if you can muster a creative line or two that can pique your readers' curiosity, that would be great.

4. Use familiar names – Instead of using “search engines” use Google. Instead of using “video sites,” use YouTube. Everybody knows what these are and you will benefit from using their names.

5. Make sure that your ad is easy to read – This sounds logical but it has to be mentioned. Do not use fonts that you like because it has swirls or smudges or things like that. Opt for easy-to-read fonts. Let's face it, if your reader can't read an ad, there is no point in putting it up.

6. Convey the benefit – You have to let your readers know what they can get from the service or product that you are advertising. Again, your banner ads must be straight to the point and the point should be the benefit that they can get out of the service or product.

You own a blog and you are thinking of ways to earn from it. You already have Google Adsense. You have signed up for an affiliate program. If you are wondering how you can earn more, perhaps it is time for you to try paid blogging.

One of the famous paid blogging sources online is Pay Per Post. Signing up for an account as a blogger is very easy. Here is the step-by-step guide:

2. Click I AGREE on the user's agreement. You can read it or just pretend to read it.

3. You will get a confirmation email. Click on the link they provide.

4. Once they confirm that you are a person with a working email, they will ask you to register your blog. It is perfectly fine to register more than one blog. Be prepared to provide important information such as blog title, categories, blog description, RSS feed, and others.

5. After you register your blog, wait for Pay Per Post to review it. This will usually take a couple of days.

6. Once your blog is approved, you will now be able to view opportunities for paid blogging. These opportunities are posted by advertisers. Choose jobs with rates that you can accept and requirements that you can meet.

7. Post a blog and get paid through PayPal.

Once you get the hang of it, making money through Pay Per Post would be easy. As stated on their website, paid blogging through Pay Per Post is one of the easiest ways to earn at least $500 every month. Not too shabby, isn't it?

There are a lot of people who will tell you that working from home is not the utopian situation most people think it to be. And that’s true enough. But being self employed (as opposed to telecommuting) and working from a home office has its advantages. What is important is to recognize them for what they are and then maximize them.

First of all is the time saved on the daily commute to office. Even with a conservative estimate of one hour of travel each way, that’s two hours a day you are gaining for yourself. And since you are you own boss, you can use it how you want. Just be careful not to let the time slip through your hands. One good idea is to designate some daily tasks that you MUST complete in the one extra hour of the morning. Depending on your work load and how much you want to take on, there’s nothing wrong in using some of the time saved on yourself to relax and being able to function better the rest of the day.

Saving on commuting also means saving on transportation costs.  Depending on your other transport needs, you may even be able to do without a car. Either way, you can save hundreds of dollars every month.  Work out the amount of your savings on transport and make sure that at least half of it is actually saved in the bank. As in the time you save, you can spend part of the money on yourself. After all, it’s your money and whom are you working for anyway?

One of the biggest problems of going out to work everyday is that you soon get tired of eating the food you carry from home and start eating out. That’s not just expensive but also not so good for your health. Now you’re working from home, not only is the temptation to eat out removed, but perhaps you could use some of the time you are saving on commuting to make nice healthy lunches for yourself? Another way you save by working from home is the less you are out around town, the less temptation there is to be lured by an attractive display window into buying things you don’t really need.

Obviously when you are self employed, all the profits of your work come to you. With the direct relation between the effort and the income, you will be motivated to be as productive as you can be and hopefully, end up making a lot of money for yourself.

A home office means that you won’t be wasting time on water cooler gossip and all the other negatives of the formal office environment. Not only does this save you time, you won’t get distracted by the non essentials involving other people and will be able to devote all your energies into making your business a success.

And finally, there is one huge advantage of working from home that cannot be measured in time or money. And that’s being able to devote more time to your family. Of course, family should not distract you from your work, but being self employed means that you have the freedom to schedule your work to ensure family priorities are not ignored.

Sure being self employed and working from home can be very tough, demanding and at times very stressful .But if you appreciate the advantages you will have for what they are and not take them for granted, you will find that working from home can be extremely fulfilling.

To get more people you need to get leads and then convert them into sales, right? In order to get leads you need traffic.

The big "Gurus" who are making alot of money online always say "The Money Is In The list", they are absolutely right.

Your list can be your very own GOLDMINE because you have people who gave you their name and address because they are atleast curious about what you have to offer. This can be a very big ADVANTAGE for you.

So now you have the list and you can email them and tell them about all the advantages of your products and/or services.

If you can convince them that you have the best product and/or service, you now have a relationship. These relationships are important because they could potentially bring you more customers through referral and OFTEN times become a repeat customer.

We definetly need to take care of our customers and deliver on everything we PROMISE. This is a very important step in building a business and gaining the respect of our customers and future potential customers.

This will reduce the risk of customer returns. If your customer returns your product, how likely would it be that they return or even refer you to other people especially if you make it real difficult for them to return their item(s)

Through studies we have found that it takes about 7-10 emails before someone responds, so we have to be patient with our prospective customers and only send about 1 email every week or two. This is not true for all of them, but it's very important to build trust and by about the 7th email, they start to feel like they know you.

This is actually what the "Top Dogs" online are doing

An average 20% of Back-End Buyers also buy on the Up-Sale

With any great website shouldn't you get a bonus or freebie, I Think So!!!

You should always have something on your site that has real value to give away. This is very important for your customers to know they are getting what they paid for and then some. It's WIN-WIN, you have something they need and they walk away with the PRIZE.

Here's My Point:

So what if there was a website where you can find out how to help you achieve all these things. Marketing and Making Money taken to a whole new level.

We are ready to help you achieve the level of success that we know you can achieve. This System has been tested and proven to be the best system on the internet.

How did the wealthy people become wealthy?   I’m sure that some probably had money handed down to them through their families or were bred for a great career in the family business.  Still there are many “entrepreneurs” that had an idea, a vision that there was a product or service that had not yet been offered or developed.  They then had to take a chance and a risk, they had to invest time, money and energy into that product or service’s birth without the guarantee that success would be the end result.  They truly had a lot at stake and I’m sure that many of them put everything they had on the line for what they believed in.  I’m sure that they did not all succeed on the first try, it probably took several failures or they overcame some problems along the way, but they kept getting back up and trying again because they truly believed in their idea.  I believe that the wealthy people deserve to be wealthy for that reason.  They did not give up when times became difficult, they forged ahead with the same drive and desire they had when they started, when it was just an idea.  What are you going to do?  How will you make it happen?

                Recently, we were driving through a suburb of Des Moines during rush hour.  Des Moines is not a big city compared to many, but while we were driving down the interstate I noticed all of the traffic that was backed up, extending to the interstate.  I noticed the many people just sitting there and I thought about many things.  How much money was being spent at that very moment?  There were probably several hundred cars in my field of vision going in all different directions.  All of those vehicles had or needed probably $20-$40 worth of gas, many probably needed some sort of repair or service done to them (oil changes, tires etc.) and many of those people were probably going to be spending money later that evening at ball games, restaurants, shopping and other goods and services.  I thought about all of the items in those vehicles, the cell phones, CD’s, DVD’s, soda’s, coffees, GPS systems, emergency items and the other things that we all have in our vehicles.  Then I thought about them eventually getting home, to all of the goods that they possess and the services that they purchase to live in today’s society (The point to all this, and YES, I do have one, will be explained in further detail in my next blog).  At that moment, I realized how much money really is involved in our economy and that life is going to go on whether we can afford it or not.  So, what are you going to do?  How will you make it happen?

                Think about these same thoughts where you live.  Think about all of the individuals and families in your town or city and what products and services are purchased and used on a daily basis.  Every home, every vehicle, every person contributes to the economy in some way.  Some contribute in very big ways and others contribute in smaller ways, but they all contribute.  Many people and businesses are profiting off of what these individuals and families spend, whether it’s on groceries, gas, car payments, car insurance, CD’s, DVD’s and the list goes on and on.  Think about your own contributions to the economy.  You probably have a house payment or rent, possibly a vehicle payment(s) and the expenses that go with that including insurance, maintenance, fuel and other services, food for yourself and your family, the satellite or cable TV, electric, water, credit cards, the list seems endless!  You already contribute to the economy more than you may realize.  Now think about how you can make that economy work for you and help you enjoy life even more than you already are!

                It really is a great big world out there!  There is a lot of money available to earn!  What is it that you want?  I read once that you bring about what you think about.  If you are struggling financially, you probably think about that constantly and, you guessed it, you bring about further financial struggles.  Are you tired of that struggle? 

What are you going to do?  How are you going to make it happen?  If you are tired of thinking about your financial struggles and you are ready to take action, either enter your basic information for the free offer that is included on this page or click on the banner ad below.  Do you want to work.......Or not?

By re-energizing and renewing yourself frequently, you will avoid burnout and become much more motivated and productive. Don’t keep your nose to the grindstone for years and wait for retirement to travel. Balance and consistency are the keys. Enjoy the process, not just the result. Don’t fight the passing of time. Don’t fear it, squander it, or try to hide from it under a superficial cosmetic veil of fads and indulgences. Life and time go together. Do enjoy each phase of life. Do make the most of each day, and draw maximum joy from each moment.

Many people today are concerned with quality time – time generally defined in part as that spent on recreation, personal pursuits, time with children, spouses and friends. While I certainly believe quality time is important, I believe two other aspects of time are equally important.

First, one must also spend quantity time. The average father spends less than 30 minutes each week in direct one-on-one communication with each of his children. How can we possibly expect good family relationships with so little communication?

Second, one must spend regular time. Many supervisors and company presidents go for weeks, even months, without seeing many of their employees. There’s no substitute for regular meetings and open forums in which managers and team members can share ideas.

Time has a dual structure. On one hand, we live our daily routines meeting present contingencies as they arise. On the other hand, our most ambitious goals and desires need time so that they can be assembled and cemented. A long-term goal connects pieces of time into one block. These blocks can be imagined and projected into the future as we do when we set goals for ourselves. Or, these blocks of time can be created in retrospect as we do when we look back at what we’ve accomplished.

It’s not in the image of our big dreams that we run the risk of losing our focus and motivation. It’s the drudgery and routine of our daily lives that present the greatest danger to our hopes for achievement. Good time management means that you maximize the daily return on the energy and mental effort you expend.

Ways to maximize your time productivity:

• Write down in one place all the important contacts you have and all of your goals and priorities. Make a back up copy, preferably on CD, DVD or Zip disc. Write down every commitment you make at the time you make it.

• Stop wasting the first hour of your workday. Having the chat and first cup of coffee, reading the paper, and socializing are the three costliest opening exercises that lower productivity.

• Do one thing well at a time. It takes time to start and stop work on each activity. Stay with a task until it is completed.

• Don’t open unimportant mail. More than a fourth of the mail you receive can be tossed before you open or read it, and that includes e-mail.

• Handle each piece of paper only once and never more than twice. Don’t set aside anything without taking action. Carry work, reading material, audiotapes and your laptop computer with you everywhere you go. Convert down time into uplink time.

• Spend twenty minutes at the beginning of each week and ten minutes at the beginning of each day planning your to do list.

• Set aside personal relaxation time during the day. Don’t work during lunch. It’s neither noble nor nutritional to skip important energy input and stress-relieving time. Throughout the day, ask yourself, “What’s the best use of my time right now?” As the day grows short, focus on projects you can least afford to leave undone.

• And as we said at the beginning of this message, take vacations often, mini-vacations of two or three days, and leave your work at home. The harder you work, the more you need to balance your exercise and leisure time.

Action Idea: Plan a relaxing 3-day vacation within the next three months without taking any business work with you. Reserve it on your calendar this week.

This blog is about going the distance by “getting your head” in the game. It’s too easy to set goals and then watch them never materialize. Why? Because we simply aren’t committed … our head, heart and actions are not in alignment.

I’m a runner and here’s what I know about running. I can wear the best shoes and running apparel. I can be consistent with my nutrition. However, if my head is not in the game, my performance stinks. So, I have learned over time that before I take that first step to take a few minutes to visualize my run for the day. I can see the route; I know the exact location of every hill, straight away and curve. I can visualize my body moving, breathing and taking in the smells of the countryside. I do this to achieve peak performance. And it works!

So, if it works for running why not apply visualization to all aspects of your life? To go the distance I have found there must be an alignment of your head, heart and actions.

If you don’t have the alignment, you might can go the distance, the HARD way. There will be a struggle with every step.

I’m not into creating more work for me to do. I’m into simplifying my life. Getting my head in the game and being totally committed to what I choose to do makes the difference.

How's it going these days with all the choices of Social Media at your fingertips? I'm sure you have heard by now that Twitter  has taken the world by storm, and everyone is...

Tweeting ~ Twittering ~ Twexting ~ and the list goes on and on...

Hey before I drop the goods on you today, just so you know...people in my business are using Twitter to make some serious connections that are leading to bundles of cash.

The real cool thing about Twitter is that everyone is Tweeting for FREE!

Statistics show that 40-50% of the people that you follow on Twitter will naturally follow you back in return. This means all you have to do is start following friends and you can build a huge Tweeting Community that follows each other.

You see, unlike a traditional Blog, Twitter is a bit more instant… like an online pager.

In the event you hook it up to your cellular phone it turns into one instantly!

Here are my Top 10 Golden Nuggets you can start using right now to optimize your results with Twitter:

1. Honesty is the best policy. If you're genuine you'll attract more people who want to follow you.

2. For copywriting, the three assets to an effective title are; curiosity, urgency and fear. Keep this in mind when creating your tweets.

3. Show your followers your diversity. Tweet on different topics to inspire interaction.

4. Just about anything is acceptable to share on Twitter. From links to new ideas, questions and answer to
questions... it's all good!

5. Don't make the mistake of being in the shadows. Twitter is best when used for sharing ideas with others, as often as you can.

6. Use the @ symbol before the name of a user and start getting into the many conversations all
over.

7. With such a stringent character limit, (140 per Tweet) make each word count!

8. You can use Twitter to test Blog ideas. A great tool for this is: http://search.twitter.com

9. Another great tool for Twitter is http://popurls.com. It allows you to find the most popular headlines from the top social networking communities.

10. Get to the point in your Tweets. Messages that are multi part are not as effective as straightforward one-liners.

Now that you have some of the basics down, time to open an account  if you have not yet grabbed one...

Have fun, grow a huge community of followers, and update often!
