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!
