Make Money On Twitter

What is Twitter? It’s a free social networking service that operates on a very simple premise; you ask (and answer) your network of friends, family and coworkers one ongoing simple question, “What are you doing?” They and you respond to each other, which lets you stay interconnected in real time with quick, very short answers. Now, this might not seem like a good way to promote your business or otherwise make money, but in fact it can be.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways you can make money using Twitter. If you have a lot of followers on Twitter (meaning that a lot of people see you on Twitter), you can do both advertising and promotion to make money. That is, you can recommend a particular product or service that you sell yourself, or you can do it on behalf of advertisers who sell the product. You can also help advertisers promote a new product or service that hasn’t yet gotten a lot of play. Affiliate marketing and sales of products or services, or selling your own products and services is an other possibility. Yes, you can actually do affiliate marketing within Twitter. You can do this by embedding affiliate links in your “tweets”.

One great way to get more traffic to your website is to run a contest on Twitter that gets you feedback about your products or services, or gives you brand awareness. You can also do this with affiliate products as well. For example, one contest might have the question, “Tell me how I can improve my product using just 140 characters.” The best answer gets a prize. The bottom line is that because Twitter is a social networking service, you’ve got lots and lots of opportunities to earn exposure for your business. These are just some ways to get you started, but I bet you’ll think of many more on your own. Twittering can be both fun and profitable. Get creative and enjoy!
