In all honesty, does having a larger twitter following help with much? If we're talking about the value of influence, then it's very hard to really quantify how much more you can charge for your product from your twitter brand alone.

Yeah - I was going to include an entire section on that, but left it out because I thought it may deserve its own post.

I avoided "building an audience" for a long time, because I wasn't sure that I wanted to do that - but as I do less and less consulting, and more and more education and instruction - it's become clear to me that the way to have the most impact is to have get people to actually know who you are 🙂

Plus - I knew I wanted to help as many people as possible, and not many places on the internet have the built in network effects that twitter has; which makes it valuable in itself.
