It started out just as so many stories like this do, I lost my job and had no idea what to do with myself.
It was late in 2010 when the economy collapsed that I found myself jobless for the first time in my adult life.
I had no skills, had dropped out of college and the only skill I really had was actually a non-skill. What was this skill? A keen knowledge of hotels. Not just basic info I am an encyclopedia of hotel knowledge.
I literally had no idea what I was going to do but seven years ago Twitter was a popular social media platform and I didn't know how it was going to be important to me but somehow felt (100%) that it would be.
Long story short... I was right.
I built a six figure career on a platform that many have long considered dead. It's not dead. Not by a long shot and I'm going to show you why, where my tweets have taken me and how it all almost came crashing down.
My name is Kat Von B and I tweet for a living.
Twitter is actually quite cool, I don't use it nearly enough, but I really like it! Tweet and Steem on!! Following, so I hope we will see some advice :)
Awesome! The two are quite similar. I'm loving this platform. Followed back :)

As someone who is really new to this whole social media thing and certainly not a money maker I look forward to hearing your story. Perhaps I can learn from your experiences and apply them to myself and maybe drive some success here for me.
There's a lot of money to be made! I hope you enjoy what I have to say. :)

Welcome to steemit Kat :) You have quite a story of overcoming the recession to change your life for the better. I wish I read about it someday :)

I will be writing about it because honestly if someone would have said to me five years ago that I would be tweeting , for a living, I would have thought they were crazy! thank you for the kind words!!

Welcome to Steemit!
So how exactly did you start making money on Twitter???
I am a travel writer and I kept tweeting about hotels, openings, happenings so much so that PR firms took notice and started to hire me. I had no money and nothing but time. :) I wasn't sure what Twitter was all about but my gut told me that it would be important to whatever direction I was headed.
With this upvotes you can earn some money here, if they provide a value. That's what I am testing for new Steemians !
And that with just an investment of $1.96 !
So if you want to see the results of my work, feel free to follow me @minnowhelp
