Twitter is the hottest phenomenon right now in Web 2.0 and on the Internet in general right now. If you are unfamiliar with this service it is merely an online communication tool similar to text messaging on cell phones. It caught on like wildfire and has exploded into pop culture from Wall Street to Main Street and was even instrumental in the 2008 presidential election.
So how can you use this resource to explode your business? This quick discussion will focus primarily on affiliate marketing, network marketing and Internet marketing.
Step One is to set up your website or landing page that all your Twitter visitors will be funneled to. This is important because you want to provide value to your visitors and make their visit worthwhile. You can have a free course, a free report, a free evaluation, some samples of your work, some great articles, some great information or something that will grab their attention.
Step Two is to find the Twitter profiles of the top people and leaders in your industry. These people will usually have thousands of followers. When you follow them a certain percentage of these people will follow you back. You can get several hundred followers immediately after doing this or at least within 24 to 48 hours after following a respected leader in your chosen niche or industry.
Step Three is to grow your list. This will continue upon your initial quick burst of followers. You just repeat this process to grow your list. Market and promote your Twitter profile in your signature file or resource box all over the Internet. A good place to do this is on forums. You can also put your Twitter link in your resource box on articles. You can also put your link on your blogs and websites.
Step Four is to clean out your list of followers. Be aware that Twitter puts a cap on how large you can grow your list. The limit is 2000 followers. Give the people you are following about two weeks or so to follow you back. If they don’t return the favor within that time you can’t waste your follow space on inactive or non-responsive followers. Just unfollow them and repeat the process with more Twitterers in your targeted niche.
Step Five is to drive traffic to your website by interacting with other Twitterers. Don’t say something like “Hey come to my website and buy stuff!”. This process is methodical but simple. Just tweet about what you are working on throughout your day. Alternate that with social tweeting about your family, pets, hobbies, funny stories ,etc. Alternate also with replies to specific individuals about their tweets and comments about non-business topics and business related topics. This will show you as a real person and build relationships with prospects and future clients and customers.
Step 6 is not to get banned from Twitter. Don’t spam people your sales link in private messages. Don’t spam your sales link or affiliate links in your tweets. Don’t mislead or trick people into clicking sale links.
Step 7 is to rinse and repeat this process. Get a schedule for your tweets. Stick to this schedule for your business and information tweets. A schedule is good but not necessary for your social and non-business tweets as well. This helps to build up relationships with your tweeters and presents you as a likeable and respected person as well as an expert and a professional in your field and industry.
There is much more to marketing on Twitter as well as other social networking sites. I’ll be posting more info on this and other methods. Stay tuned for more helpful tips and tricks. It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ and I'm out. Peace!

Hey what's up guys? It's Kev back on Monday for some inspirational self development to help us all build, rebuild or maintain The Winner's Mentality.
I just heard a very inspiring podcast today over at Chuck Bartok's Focus Society on Talk Shoe that you may want to check out. You can go here to listen. I do want to offer a few thoughts on their consideration and discussion of Chapter 4 of the book "The Miracle Of Right Thought" by Orison Swett Marden back in 1908.
The principles I will touch on are faith, persistence and action. The author Mr. Marden used the example of a ship on the ocean in a storm or dark dense fog. Faith is like the compass in dark or foggy seas. As long as the crew or captain have their compass they can use that to guide them as they go through the sea toward their destination. The storm waves may bash and crash against the ship but if they maintain laser focus on that compass they will go straight to their destination.
I am not a sailor so I haven't been on the high seas sailing in storms. The author said he had personal experience on stormy seas. I kinda pictured the stormy ship scene in the film "Forrest Gump". I'm a movie fan and some of you may remember that scene from the film. Faith is the compass on stormy seas. It's scary and dangerous but you have to keep your hands firm on the tiller during this type of weather.
You sailors may know what a tiller is. I guess it's the wheel. At any rate the scene he described and the analogy he used were inspiring to me. Chuck then asked "When is the best time to act?" The answer is now. But you want to act quickly and decisively without being rash and impetuous. Do you have a successfully proven plan, a strategy as some type of foundation? You need the step by step plan and more importantly time lines and deadlines on when step 1 begins, step 2 and so on.
What if your plan doesn't work or you run into some problems and difficulties. If the plan has been proven you just keep following the steps. You just stop, focus and look at the actions you did or did not take and see where the holes, flaws and misjudgements and miscalculations were. You then make the proper corrections and adjustments and begin again.
It may sound a little to simplistic to some. Think about it. Success has always been simple. It just hasn't always been easy. There is a difference. Chuck said you will have one of two outcomes. You can succeed quickly and greatly or you can succeed as you correct, fine tune and adjust any imperfect and raggedy mistakes and errors. This means that failure is not an option. It sounds like a cliche but this just begins to describe the mindset of faith, a plan of action and persistence.
There were more things that they talked about but these were a few of the kernels and some of my reflective thoughts on the principles and concepts they discussed.
Thanks for the visit. It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ. I'm out. Peace!

The 90 Day Challenge Is On!
This is the DK 90 Day Challenge and today is Saturday October 4, 2008 at 2:20pm CST. I began my challenge on Wednesday Septenber 17, 2008 and it has been quite a rollercoaster. I have been on Dennis’ list for some time now and he always sends out quality info, news and updates. He is one of the few that I will open everything he sends me. He doesn’t bombard me with daily emails either.
I have a lot to say but due to time constraints and other issues I will speak on all of that one bit at a time. Let’s just get right to the chase. I have done many 30 and 90 day challenges. They can be very effective but can also be devastating as well. He is doing pretty much the same thing I have been doing. He is more high profile than I am at this point. So I welcome this challenge.
I have my own challenge issues but I have some suggestions for others too if they wish. I work evenings so my schedule is built around that. My areas of focus are Spiritual, Emotional (during periods of solitude), Physical, Financial and Relationships and also Recreational.
My work schedule is from 4pm until 10pm or 12am. I am off on Sundays. My day’s schedule begins after work. Let’s say I get home at 12am.
Monday - Friday
12am - Success Creation Hour (Power Hour or Planning Hour) for the following day. I believe in advance planning and not waiting for the morning to arrive. I am not an early riser.
12:45am Closing prayer
1am - I finally get to sleep and can’t wait until the next day begins.
9am – Morning Prayer, Gratitude and Acknowledgement session
9:15am Success Creation Hour (Power Hour or Planning Hour)
10am – Gym Workout Hour
11am – 3pm CEO of Cash Flow Hustles Entrepreneurial Empire Hours
4pm - It’s off to work I go
Saturdays
12am Success Creation Hour (Power Hour or Planning Hour)
1am - I might get to sleep I might not. This is still Friday night.
9am – Morning Prayer, Gratitude and Acknowledgement session
9:15am Success Creation Hour (Power Hour or Planning Hour)
10am – Driving customers (another business I work) or Music customers (another business I work) or offline local promotions for my CFH Entrepreneurial Empire. I also may be out of town on a business trip for my CFH Empire. (Please excuse me if I sound elitist or condescending but this is part of my dream.)
Sundays
I'm supposed to be off on Sundays but that depends on whether I am needed or not.
This is my Radio Show recording day and semi-relaxing day with family, friends, associates, companions and the like. This is also a day for more spiritual activities and introspection.
Well, this is a rough draft of my schedule. It is flexible but is a guide and not strictly enforced.
The Challenge
Today is Day 18 of The Challenge so far. The exercise routine has not kicked in yet. What am I waiting on? Motivation of course and circumstances. Both of these I can create myself.
Alright, it's time to get cracking! It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ. I'm out! Peace!

What's up everybody! It's Kev The Cash Flow DJ comin back at ya! Hey I am back from hiatus but we are ready to roll here guys. Much thanks goes out to Dennis Karganilla for his 90 Day Challenge. Those challenges are highly motivational for me and I am game for a challenge.
The site will be going through some much needed decorative changes in the next few days. We will be changing our look for the third time. We are always open to growth and improvement though so it's all good. i will be importing some of my old articles and releasing some new stuff too.
I just wanted to give a proper introduction of our CFH world here. The following is part of a business summary I did for some in interested investors in our business here. It does break down a little bit of what we do here. So I decided to use some of it as a lil intro of sorts to visitors here. So here it goes.
Cash Flow Hustles is the headquarters of a small business empire. Our focus is to provide assistance and training to small business owners while also providing some entertainment and enlightenment. Our goal is to provide a means of economic empowerment to the average individual. We have a minority or urban theme but our services are not limited to any single group.
The CFH Empire includes the following:
The CFH Radio Show is an Internet radio show or podcast. We discuss small business and entrepreneurial topics in a talk radio format with listeners calling in. We also conduct interviews with guests on entrepreneurial topics. We also discuss entertainment topics and interviews with a specific focus on music.
We speak on a few other entertainment topics like film or books along with some occasional social issues that are affected by poverty and economic empowerment. The Cash Flow DJ (my branding business personality) is the host of the show. We also feature DJ and deep house music mastermixes as an entertainment part of the show.
One of our business philosophies is to combine a hobby or passion of yours with your entrepreneurial pursuits if at all possible. This is why DJ mixes and musical entertainment are prominent features of this business. This is also a form of branding that stands us apart from other businesses of this type.
In addition to this talk show format we also advertise and promote our other business ventures. We also provide entrepreneurial news, updates and training for our students and clients.
Cash Flow Hustles Excursions- These are monthly trips to different cities that include an entrepreneurial training seminar called CFH Business Starters. These trips are intended to combine business, travel and entertainment together. The seminars will mainly feature outside vendors like Site Build It or SBI training and Mentors In Motion or MIM training and also some higher ticket travel businesses.
It is suggested that those participating in these excursions prepare in advance for the trip to the designated city by setting up deals for their businesses in that city in advance if at all possible. High ticket items of $500 or more are also suggested. Seminar attendants are welcome to market their own products like real estate, stock investments, commodities, forex trading, mortgages, insurance or other higher ticket items during the trip.
It is suggested that they schedule their appointments accordingly in order to be able to enjoy the fun and training provided on the trip. Their deals and offers would have to be reviewed in advance if they want them included on the CFH Excursions CFH Business Starters seminar program for that particular trip. We are open to opportunities if we feel they may be a good fit for our people.
Participants can either market our products on this trip or a product or service of their own choosing and just enjoy the training and the fun. The parties are complimentary for seminar attendants. We sell advance tickets to the seminar and offer commissions if they sell seminar tickets to other people. These are business events and are therefore tax deductible. We suggest you consult your accountant to properly benefit from any tax advantages.
Deep Soul Paradise- These are the social mixers featured as part of the CFH Excursions. They are basically dance parties held in each city we visit after the seminars are concluded in that city.
Underground Soul Fest- This is like a dance party/concert held either quarterly or bi-annually. These are at different locations nationally and globally. They are also part of the CFH Excursions.
Cash Flow Capital- An opportunity to raise capital for any legal business or non-profit organization.
Franchise Business Builders- Set up your own franchise selling any legal product or service of your choosing.
Cash Flow Financing- Finance any product purchase of $500 or more. This would include electronics, auto or real estate.
Cash Flow Credit Builders- Credit repair services and low credit financing. This is actually a department within Cash Flow Financing.
The following are online networking communities:
The Winner’s Mentality Mastermind Group- Intense personal development training community
The Little Guy/Building Leaders- Small business networking and masterminding community working on and developing specific business projects
That’s about it. There are a few more on the back burner but these are the main entities at this time.
Well alright fam that's about all I have time for right now. We will continue this probably Monday because my weekends get pretty intense sometimes. But I'll holla. It's The Cash Flow DJ and I'm out! Peace!
We'll be networking and hanging out for now at www.mastermindgroup.ne1.net. Talk to ya!
