As a student entrepreneur or student in general using Twitter, there are a few people that I think you should definitely be following and reading their tweets, to pick up great bits of advice or to be able to read articles that they may share. Here they are.

- Guy Kawasaki – @guykawasaki of Alltop and HolyKaw.com – Guy is currently recognized as the creater of AllTop.com but is probably better know as the person who coined the word ‘evangilist’ within a company while at Apple.

- Ian Fernando – @ianternet of IanFernando.com – Ian is an “out of the box” affiliate marketing and PPC wiz.

@teenbizcoach
Very well said and thought out post, it’s not too often you find this anymore.
Chris thanks for including me in the list.
I’d also suggest @GaryVee, @ducttape and @MarketingProfs
Looking forward to seeing you all on Twitter!
Thanks for the comments guys! It is definitely hard to keep a list small like this, so I’m going to be expanding on it with some more people to follow, including @garyvee and others.
My site just started utilizing Twitter and has seen the opportunities associated with it, very nice. It’s kind of hard to gasp the concept and advantages of Twitter at first (as an individual) but once you test it out, and see your Follower count pickup, you will be hapily impressed with the results.
Follow CTM – @CollegeTownMenu
Props to you, Chris. Smart choice of people.

This is a great post! However, you definitely missed out on someone who is doing a lot to empower young entrepreneurs: Bradley Will (www.bradleywill.com). You can also follow him @bradleywill.

Hey Neal, thanks for the comment. I just recently came across Brad and have started following his journey. His website has some great content to it!
Great post, I agree. I think a great addition that might help others would be learning how to outsource. It’s really helped my business. I found a free outsourcing mini coarse and I learned a lot from it. It’s amazing what you can do when you can hire someone for $4 per hour to help you run your business.
