Twitter Monetization (How to make money with Twitter)

Twitter has turned out to be really popular these days, from Barack Obama to my neighbor, everyone's on Twitter.
But, when i look at websites, i look for money making opportunities in them!

So here it is, HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH TWITTER!

But you know that it ain't that easy to make money, especially with things you do everyday! But, if you work, you can!

• Direct Advertising - Quick MONEY

If you've got a lot of people following you on Twitter, you can advertise for companies. You can get companies that would be interested in advertising through your Twitter account.
For example, say you've got a thousand followers on Twitter, and you've got a friend of yours who needs a bit of promotion, you can ask him if he would be interested in advertising his company/website/blog etc. through your Twitter account. You can charge him per tweet. Ask the person you are advertising for, if they could provide you with a little tweet, and all you got to do is, COPY AND PASTE!

• Sponsored Contest - "doesn't always work"

 An advertiser may want to run a contest via a popular twitter user to get feedback about his product & services or just to create some brand awareness.   – Example – “What New features would you like to see in Product X”?






There are a few other ways, available on other websites, but after trying them, i would not suggest you to use them.

NOTE: But be careful not to spam much. It doesn't mean you go around tweeting all the time, just because you are getting paid for it. This will result in you losing followers! This will be spamming!

Cheers, and ALL THE BEST!

Marketing through Facebook

This post will be talking about marketing and driving maximum traffic to your blog/website through social networking resources like - Facebook. And the more people you drive to your website, the more you earn
There are millions of users on Facebook, spending hours daily, chatting looking for new things etc.. A lot of companies these days is using Facebook as a very vital tool for their marketing. And now it is your chance to market your blog through Facebook so that you get maximum traffic.

Fan Pages

Facebook has quite a unique and a useful feature called - Fan Pages. Big companies/websites/famous people everyone has a fan page, a medium to communicate with their fans and also to get more fans. Now, you can use it to promote your blog, to get more people to read what you have posted.

Making a fan page is easy, all you need to do is join facebook, go the the pages option and clik "Create a fan page".

Groups and fan pages

There is another thing on Facebook called groups. These are almost like fan pages, but in these members of the group can discuss in the forums, write on the group wall etc...

The only disadvantage of having a group instead of a fan page, is that in a fan page, you can post things through the fan page just like your regular Facebook profile, whereas in a group, you will have to send mails to Facebook users, and they will read those mails, but a lot of people don't even open mails from groups, they just delete them.

The advantage is that, to give the members an update, you will have to mail then on Facebook, so now you are quite confident, that they have seen your mail if not read it. That makes them want to check your blog out, whereas in a fan page, the post of the fan page might go down the users' homepage if he gats a lot of other updates from his friends or other fan pages.

Concluding, i would like to say that Facebook is an excellent tool you can use for marketing, so make good use of it.

Cheers, and all the best making money online!

The liars (and how to identify one)

Money making is not easy these days, and there are a lot of people out there, who will want to fool you. They will fool you, and they will make money.
So who are exactly these "liars"? These are websites wanting to make money, by promising to give you an opportunity to make money.

These websites will tell you to pay an application fee or a "one-time cost" and then will never revert back to you. There are a few websites which do, and are honest. But as i said, "few"

So, how do you identify them?

First, if you see a website which has quite a "long" page, and you need to scroll down a lot, then you see the fee, that means, its one of the "liars" of the online money making industry.
Second, if the page contains more than 2 testimonials (as they say), that are liars
Third, if you see a lot of changes in the font colors and size, they are liars.

I will not post any links this time, as i know leave it up to you, so beware! If you see any sites which have the same (or similar) things then forget it, move to another option.

Regards and all the best making money online.
