How to build a Twitter prospect funnel on autopilot [ACADEMY]

This tutorial was filmed as a unit of James Tuckerman's social media monetisation masterclass, in August 2013. It shares how James manages and builds his Twitter feed, almost on auto-pilot.

In this short tutorial, James Tuckerman shares the techniques and processes that he has used to largely 'outsource' his working life -- how he goes about removing annoying, rinse and repeat tasks from his daily workload.
