Default Motivators? Paid to motivate?
I am curious, on Twitter, I see so many people who seem to just be motivators...offering people support and encouragment advice etc.

What I'm wondering, is this their business? How they earn income? If so, anyone know how?

I'm asking because I would love to put my motivation skills to work, if they pay...I'm happy doing it for free obviously, but we all know the line...

If you do it well, why do it for free?

I think that is a great question and I propose trying it out.
See if it is something you can:
A. Sell it
B. Keep up with the demand (if there is one)
C. Be motivated even when you don't feel motivational

I also believe motivators are called coaches. I am not sure about that but it is something you may want to check into.

I would love to try it out..problem is, I'm not sure how it's being sold or priced even for that matter, or if it's even something that is being paid for.

I could keep up with demand, I don't know if there is one and again..if anyone is paying for it. The people I'm seeing don't seem to be coaches, that is something different, actually helping the people design and implement the strategies that they suggest..I know they get paid very well to do that and I'm not really at that level to take actual coaching on.

I'm talking about the people who literally just say "You can do it" or keep hopes up when doubt creeps in...is this making sense.

Twitter users, have you seen the same type thing? Is it just coaching? I'm good at giving advice and keeping people motivated, and I love doing it because doing so also motivates me as well.
