Wanna Know How I'm Trying To Make Money From Twitter?

I've always been an entrepreneur at heart!

And Twitter... well, it's a very exciting place for me to experiment with business ideas - I guess with anything else, you just never know until you launch it.

So I'd like to maybe share with you couple of business concepts I've got underway on Twitter. It's actually one business concept but being used in two different metro areas. Here it is:

I've taken the Garage Sale / Yard Sale RSS feeds off Craigslist in both Atlanta and Houston. Both cities of which do not have "sub" cities within the main metro areas (like Los Angeles, Chicago, etc...)

So Atlanta and Houston are two huge cities and the yard sales categories are being flooded with new listings every hour.

The problem:

With so many listings being generated in just one category, in one huge metro area, it's very difficult to determine easily if the garage sales are in your neighborhood, or 3 hours away on the other side of the city. Craigslist just has the listings posted as they are generated.

The Solution:

I'm able to take the RSS feeds for the garage sale categories and dissect them by any subsection I want - zip code, neighborhoods, counties, cities, etc... So now I'm able to take the feeds, and organize the information so you could see, for instance, garage sales that were only in your neighborhood and not be inundated with thousands of others that aren't.

How Twitter Fits In:

So on Twitter, I've created an Atlanta yard sale profile and a Houston yard sale profile. Each profile on Twitter is automatically updated via Twitter Feed with new yard sales from Craigslist.

The Business Concept:

Of course anyone can follow the profiles for free and get updated every 30 minutes with new yard sales in Atlanta or Houston. But if you wanted to pay only $2.99, you could subscribe to receive yard sales, garage sales, and moving sales (whatever is listed on Craigslist) for whatever specific area you wanted - city, neighborhood, zip code, county, etc...

Have I made any money yet, you might ask???

NO

However, both of the profiles have grown to over 100 followers each in less than a week - which I see as somewhat promising.

So we'll just have to see how the business unfolds, and I will keep you posted.

So what do you think about the concept?
