Balkhis - Vision For Success

Now Twitter can make you money too…

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter

Ah well, I expected this to happen. For those of you who don’t know I am not a big fan of twitter. I tried it and never really liked it a whole lot. Twitter gained quiet fame among the bloggers like Myspace once did among everyone. I remember people selling myspace accounts for money and then those accounts were used for spammy advertisement. One of the reasons why I deleted my myspace account.

So let me announce the innovator of this idea, Andrew Baron with a PR 5 twitter page, is selling his twitter account on ebay. O yeah, the current bid of $1,125.

Apparently one of the funny things I found in the auction

The winner of this auction gets my account with all of my followers. The account is in my name now, but the winner of the auction can pick any other name that’s available on Twitter for the transfer. For example, you could have http://www.twitter.com/x where x=any name thats not already taken. You can change it yourself at anytime too, one of the cool features about Twitter settings.

Heck atleast myspace was a little better than this. They atleast prevented changing that last name. I should start a few twitter accounts, and start following 2000 people, and I am sure 1500 will atleast come back and follow me. Great way to make some quick cash.

Another funny bullshit I found in the auction was

I really love my Twitter account but I feel like I haven’t been using it the way I want to. Quite honestly, I feel sorry for all of my followers because they wind up with my tweets in their timelines and I haven’t been able to utilize the medium the way I want to. I also participate in another Twitter account over on Rocketboom so I’m thinking I’ll post more over there and start up a new account to do what I want to do next.

Umm, and the next account you will use it the way You want to. I wonder what is the real deal there. You are sure utilizing now. Work hard and find people you want to follow. Utitlize and make more money. Props to you.

Wait a minute, He gives props to his followers

Finally, I’d just like to give props to all of you out there who are following me on Twitter. No offense what so ever – we can easily find each other again.

You best believe if I was in that list, I would never follow you again. I wonder who would … Selling your profile page is a great way to build reputation. If it was a website I would understand, but a profile page.

Beginning to the end of the quality era of twitter. I am sure many will follow this leader to get some quick cash. Considering $1,125 is alot of money in some other countries.

1,125.00 USD = 77,175.00 BDT (Bangladeshi Taka)

1,125.00 USD = 552,768.75 CRC (Costa Rica Colones)

1,125.00 USD = 71,066.25 PKR (Pakistani Rupees)

I am going to hire someone in Costa Rica to add followers for me and have 60 – 40 partnership. I get 60% and they get 40% … Heck they’ll still be pretty rich.

I read about this article at another blog just now. Dunno whether Andrew Baron is acting stupid or like an idiot. Both the words sound convincing for his name. :D LOL

People would go to any levels to earn that extra money. Heard of people selling domains but this is too much!
