Is Twitter Worth One Billion?

Today I’ve read on TechCrunch this headline ‘Twitter Closing New Venture Round At $1 Billion Valuation’ and I asked myself is twitter really worth one billion?

When you ask this question from the side of actual revenue, than not! But this is not the resent point of view to watch twitter from.

The valuation is more set to the future and the potential revenue which twitter will be able to produce with the actually mentioned and the planned revenue streams.

For the US only, the marketing monetization value for one registered user is about $112 per year. Twitter has more than 50 million users.

You can simply multiply the mentioned $112 with the user count of 50 million, and growing!

It looks like that the real future potential valuation of twitter goes far above the actual valuation of one billion dollars.

In my opinion this will also depend of the monetization strategy and the revenue streams implemented by twitter in the near future.

Is twitter worth one billion? In my opinion, far more …! Go ahead twitter you will make it!

Everyday I read these messages in my Google alerts, now I see them on Facebook and LinkedIn as well. And I am sad of this!

…Become an internet millionaire hands free for only $97 one time payment…
…Groundbreaking Millionaire Making System, Reserve your position now….

Did you bought ‚How To Make Money Online’ products like these mentioned above?

If yes, I would like to know why you do that? Was it to shorten the way to acquire knowledge and to save efforts?

So you hoped to become rich quick….!? That’s exactly the reason why so many people fall on these schemes out there!

Didn’t you asked your self why those scammers sell their ‘Moneymaking, Million dollar, bla bla bla BULLSH****, top secret system?

Those people try to sell you the How to become Rich on the Internet without any effort, without any knowledge when you buy there product for only $97.

Would you sell anybody the exact step by step system for lousy $97 if you had such system what makes you daily $5000, or would you keep it as a secret to make the most money for your self?

Those folks make their money by blowing smoke into your face!

They have no idea on how to make you rich! They don’t know you, they don’t know anything about the things you are interested in, and they don’t care about you! They are simply interested to get your best thing, your cash! They know if they pretend they have the knowledge, YOU and thousands like YOU will make THEM very rich!

Here are some tips to save your self of this kind of scam!

If you get an offer and the other side pushes you to buy now ‘otherwise your spot is gone’ than let it be gone. If it is legitimated business, the option to make cash will be there later also. There is no rush!

Google
Go to Google search and type in the search field this kind of search request (example): Compliant: Get Rich, Inc.
If there are complaints about them, the chances are good that they are listed there.

Alexa and Alexa Way back Machine:
Go to Alexa and check the traffic rank of this ‘breathtaking, millionair making, etc.’ opportunity. If they pretend to be successful, the Alexa graph can show you how. Check out how long they are online and compare this with the traffic rank. A very successful side should be und 100k and a super cool breathtaking, millionair making, etc. opportunity should be better than 20k in Alexa rank.
Use the Way Back Machine of Alexa to see how long they are online and how did the looked like in the beginning!

Check out forums, what is discussed about the seller there!
Better Business Bureaus http://www.bbb.org

Payments
Be careful when you pay those products, especially through pay pal.

Why?

I tell you: Digital products and services which you pay through pay pal you can not chargeback in case of something goes wrong with the seller. For example some of them offer 90 days money back. In the case they do not refund your money back, you are not able to get your money back which you have paid for the ‘digital product’ or service. Pay Pal will not give your money back. Read their terms of service.

If you pay by your credit card, this problem does not occur. Read the TOS of you CC provider.
