The rapidly exploding popularity of social marketing sweetheart Twitter has led one screenwriter to land a movie deal. Yes, that’s right. His conversations with his Twitter Peeps sparked a creative idea in Twitterer David Niall Wilson, a published author. Since the idea was born on Twitter, Wilson welcomed his Twitter followers in for a behind-the-scenes look at his script as it developed.

The screenplay has since been completed, and production on the movie began in June. You can bet his followers will be lining up to see this movie that they helped inspire and watched unfold, so Wilson has created for himself a devoted following. All thanks to a few well-positioned posts on Twitter.

What’s more interesting is that, according to the blog post where I found the info on the Twitter-inspired movie, “nearly every part of the deal was transacted via Twitter.” Definitely shows the power of this amazing social networking medium!

There are a world of possibilities out there for you, too. Maybe you won’t be writing the next great American screenplay, but perhaps a conversation on Twitter will inspire your next blog post or newsletter topic. Or maybe it will even get the wheels turning for the perfect angle for a book that you can sell for passive income.

No matter the case, you will almost certainly walk away with a few new friends, some great business ideas, and a laugh or two along the way. Isn’t it time you start Twittering already?
