In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Michelle Held from MetroNY discusses how to make money on Twitter.

The first step Held recommends is to build your following -- the more people who follow you, the better. The goal of a large following is to turn over these potential customers to your website. You can jumpstart this growth by investing in paid ads to help build your following or get traffic to your website.

After your build this following and focus in on your target audience, make sure you've got something to sell. Make your website aesthetically appealing, easy to use and mobile friendly -- a beautiful landing page will help focus your site.
