Rather than our usual ‘Friday cool site of the week,’ I want to share a cool link I found that could help a lot of you profit from Twitter. Our own free advice channel – @hmarketinghelp – has grown in popularity, and I find myself using the service a lot more in recent weeks. Yet with the explosion in popularity, I know many of you are still looking for ways to monetize the platform.

John Jantsch has written a very useful post on how to use Twitter to turn up new business.

By using Twitter’s advanced search feature, you can find people looking for solutions you can solve. Maybe they’re looking for a hotel in your city and you can offer them a special rate. Or maybe they’re just looking for things to do on their vacation, and you can provide some tips. I can think of a lot of possibilities here.

It’s even possible to set up RSS newsfeeds to get this information delivered to your reader. This would save a lot of time and automate the process.
