I haven’t said anything about this yet, but I have the Midas Touch on Twitter… I’m calling it the Midas Twouch, actually. (you can tweet that here).

If you don’t “Tweet” you may change your mind in a minute.

Here are some verifiable examples of how I’ve tweeted things into existence. It’s like MAGIC. I’m not even TRYING to get things, and yet they keep showing up at my door.

CASE IN POINT ONE: CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE!

About a year ago I received a delectable box of chocolates in the mail from Sucre Chocolates in New Orleans after I’d been tweeting about how much I love chocolate. No surprise there. I made a video about that yummy box of chocolates and how it made me dance like Elaine from Seinfeld here, Below is a sampling of my tweets about chocolate, culminating in said “box” being sent to me:

CASE IN POINT TWO: VODKA

I’m constantly tweeting that Vodka is my first choice in alcohol. Because of this, I received some vodka infused, yummy, healthy VitaFrute in two flavors, which made for some excellent, refreshing cocktails for a few months.

 

Here’s the tweet image in case you can’t see it above:

Vita Frute

The amount of time I spend online is asinine and I should be committed. It had gotten so ridiculous, I remember about six months ago saying out loud something like “When is all of this FREAKING HARD WORK going to pay off for REAL?”

That’s because tweeting, posting to Facebook and Instagram (for three accounts each, me the Author, me the Health Nut and for Ms. Cheevious), youtube, blogs, etc. etc... is a TON of work. I spend most of the hours in my day in front of a computer, tablet or smart phone communicating to people in a virtual world.

 

CASE IN POINT FOUR: MY FACE

I ran out of my favorite face products near the end of last year (December). I was tweeting about this, and how I needed some new products, stat. Shortly afterward, Dr. Garo Kassabian at Lift MD Aesthetics hooked me up with a huge free kit, and a diamond facial! It was awesome. They also gave the same thing to one of you lovely people.

I tweeted this, rather non-chalantly afterward.

 

Here is the image, in case the above tweet isn’t displaying properly:

CASE IN POINT THREE: VROOM VROOM

So, I had just asked “When is this going to pay off for real?” And I had just tweeted #NewCar, when my answer came. I received an email from Klout (another online platform both Ms. Cheevious and me are on, which measures your online influence), letting me know I’d won their Perk contest from Chrysler. The prize? A free two year lease of a new car.  I called Klout headquarters to make sure it wasn’t a scam. It was real.

 

A TWIST IN THE “TWOUCH”

As Peter Parker’s uncle said “With great power comes great responsibility.” Something I hadn’t accounted for, was the power of my joking tweets. I can’t seem to track it down, but somewhere along the way I tweeted about winning a big prize, and how it was too bad it wasn’t a bundle of money.

Two weeks later, Chrysler called and asked if I would like to have a cash prize instead.

 

IT’S ALL IN THE GREENBACKS BABY

Here is the proof on Instagram (snapshot also below):

This just happened. I won it. Yep. #ChryslerPerk #CashInsteadOfACar.

 

I’ve also tried to tweet a television series into existence for M.C. Nugget, but instead was approached by a casting director myself for a network TV show. I’m still fine-tuning that one.

SCARY STUFF. One mustn’t confuse the Twitterverse!

So, I’ll just be over here, tweeting about my best-selling book and Nuggie’s three picture deal.

 

In the meantime, I’m taking tweet requests in the comments on this post. No promises or guarantees.

Ms. Cheevious is the alter-ego of Lisa Jey Davis (former publicist, and television talent manager, current award-winning writer & author, & health and fitness pro). Though Ms. Cheevious has become known for humor via the blog and social media, offering a lighter and brighter look at life… the blog was originally a precursor to Lisa Jey's long overdue book "Ms. Cheevious in Hollywood" which offers a fabulous, funny peek into what really goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood… a Hollywood with Lisa Jey and her funny “serendipities” in it. Think Lucille Ball meets Chelsea Handler meets the girl next door (with a little chocolate and vodka). It depicts with hilarity the innocent mistakes Lisa Jey made when launched back into the big, bad single jungle, as an unassuming single-mother in the City of Angels. It’s also about the beautiful, interesting life she led while her loving, incredible sons kept her grounded and sane amid fantastic events, new friends, parties and field trips. It also shows the turmoil and heartbreak that comes with dating and single mom life. All blog content © 2015 Ms. Cheevious aka Lisa Jey Davis

  1. This is cool – I do tweet my experiences on Amtrak and at car rentals and darned if they don’t immediately write me back if there’s a problem and if they can help! I’d love to start getting chocolate though – and a car? WOW. Seriously, how do they actually mail you the stuff, you have a mailing address you put out or do they contact you and then if they do, how do you know it’s not a scam? I’m leery about all of that.

  2. Here is mine. I would like to see Jessie made into a movie. Or a few great tweets pointing out how Jessie is a modern day Tom Sawyer with the addition of rockets.

  3. I remember the chocolate response but somehow missed the car.. uh, er… cash. Wonderful. If you’re going to whack me w/ the gold hand, make sure my Amish endeavor finds a publisher or movie/TV producer who is looking for an unusual early 60s Amish – Civil Rights story. I have an agent waiting! LOL.

  4. I am amazed the Chrysler is doing that. I thought Klout perks had gotten really crappy, but this is very good news. Wishing you continued success with tweets come true.

    • Yep – that’s been a while now, Pamela, but Chrysler did it. To be clear, it was a “contest” perk. Invitation only contest – and I won! WOOT!

  8. Absolutely, absolutely amazing. ‘More Power” has indeed come to you, and well earned and well deserved! Teach me to be still using postage stamps. You remind me of the Wallendas, best in your specialty, on the way to Guinness recognition.. I guess twitter and its friends, along with contract bridge, golf, and the game of go will have to be part of my next life. I’m waiting.

  9. How can you say it doesn’t pay off??? Girl, you have a car, vodka, and chocolate – what more does one need in life? Congratulations, Midas – you rock!! 🙂
