Just bought this amazing necklace on Etsy.com!!!
Palmer’s gambit worked for two reasons: 1) she interacts with her fans regularly and openly… 2) she is not afraid to ask for their help. That might seem a trivial or stupidly obvious point, but it shouldn’t be.

Alright. This is amazing. Could Amanda Palmer be any more of a badass? No.
But I must say that I believe her Twitter success goes beyond simply using the service. It’s because (a) She is Amanda Palmer (b) she treats her fans like friends (c) Her goal with Twitter is not to make money.
I’m afraid people will read this article and think they should jump on the Twitter bandwagon so they can score some cash. That’s not what its about. It’s about connecting with people. You might make money, but first you have earn the support of your followers.
That said, I don’t think you have to be famous. You just have to be real. I made $2000 in 10 hours, $4000 in 24… and I am so very far from famous.
It’s all about believing in eachother! I’m now having a blast making this album thanks to the help I got on Twitter and Tumblr. You guys are the best.
