Probably The Easiest Way To Make Money Twittering
I just joined few days ago, so i won’t go into too many details about the payouts and how much money can someone make out of it. I mean, once i get some money rolling into my account from Sponsored Tweets only then i will totally recommend it for you as a “must do” thing. Until then, atleast just join it and begin the process of what could be the easiest way to make money online just by twittering.
So what exactly is Sponsored Tweets. Well it’s a simple twitter advertising platform, owned by IZEA, which actually connects the advertisers with the tweeters. Simply put, the advertisers, already promoting the product, places the ads on twitter. You just have to spread the word and earn from it. All ethical advertisement/promotion in less than 160 characters, how difficult can it be for anyone? It’s simply PPT or we can call it Pay-Per-Tweet program. 🙂
First things first, you really need to have an account on Twitter. You should have a minimum of 200 followers and your twitter account should be at least 4 months old. So join Twitter today itself. When you have met these conditions then you can go ahead and join , which is a white-listed twitter application and will require your twitter credentials to create an account. The advertisers simply don’t like Twitter accounts that are less than 120 days old. This factor reduces the risk of unethical business or spammy tweeters.
Although i really do not need to explain the process of joining process and using SponsoredTweets simply for the reason that it already has been very well explained on their site itself. Still, for those who have not been tempted yet to head off to their website: well, after joining in, SponsoredTweets will first of call calculate a recommended price for you that you should charge per tweet. Mine initially came out to $7.96 per tweet. Which is suggested for me to charge the advertiser for tweeting their tweets. Pretty good for anything less than 160 characters, haan? Anyways, i am really not bound to use this suggested price which actually is based on factors like number of followers, age of the account and number of tweets etc. I can put up $1.00 per tweet if i want or even $100. All up to me. And yes, i have seen many tweeple making $1000 and above already from Sponsored Tweets. Anyways, moving ahead, once you have the recommended price for your tweets, you just need add a bit of details regarding yourself and what you normally tweet about the most. That’s it. You are done. Now you just have to wait for offers to run in. Advertisers will checkout your profile and BOOM!!! the money starts flowing in.
Don’t forget, you will have the complete control on the advertisements that you want to tweet. You will get a mail from Sponsored Tweets when an advertisers shows an interest. Those ads will go into your account panel waiting for your approval. Simply reject the ad if you don’t like it or approve them. You even get the option wherein you can decide whether the tweet content has to be written by the advertiser or you’ll write your own content yourself. There are even some non-profit/charitable offers which you can enable or disable, publish or reject. That’s full control of your sponsored tweets for you!
So how does all this stuff sound to you? It sounded pretty good to me and i have already joined the program and have started making more money. There is absolutely no limit of money, that you can make from this program. It all depends on who you are and what you are with twitter. If advertisers love your tweets, then you should be ready to make a fortune, just by tweeting. Why don’t you head off to right now and make me feel good about my post and effort, just so that you can make a good money. Ain’t asking much, Is It? 😀
By the way, if it’s any consolation, Sponsored Tweets also offer referral program. You get 10% of SponsoredTweets portion of revenue for each successful transaction that Tweeter makes. Or, If you sign up an Advertiser you will earn 5% of Sponsored Tweets earnings for each transaction they make. That’s a bonus! 🙂
Tweet Stats : I’m ranked 20th in India and 9250th in World, with 5335 followers as on 29th September according to Twitterholic. All this in 6 months is pretty nice i guess. Just passing on little info 🙂
I have not yet started tweeting but after reading you I am tempted to. Nice going hitting 20th in India. Congratulations.
Finally….Success! If i could pursue you in joining twitter, then i believe my efforts have finally paid off! LOL! Do let me know what ID you chose on Twitter and don’t forget to follow me! 🙂
Your enthusiasm is contagious! My problem is time. I am involved in too many things as it is and find it quite difficult to keep up with my existing commitments. I need to rationalize my life which is one of the goals I have set myself to complete before the end of the year. Once that is done, I shall indeed take up your offer. I shall certainly keep you informed via this blog.
Ahhh Nicole! You better get started now. I respect all your goals and wish you luck for the success. As for the twitter, spend 5 mins a week if put together. I think you can spare that much of time. It’s just a minute a day. Make a tweet. Approve or follow back the people who have followed you. That’s it. The network grows automatically! 🙂
I have just joined Ad.ly We’ll see how it goes. I presume I can join Sponsered Tweets as well if I want to. My Twitter name is Zrepeels.
Thank you. Will do.
Good to know that people making money through twitter.. but how to get followers there?
Peter, have you made out anything from Ad.ly yet? I haven’t got any offers/response from sponsored tweets yet!
Ahmed, Sorry i had to put in your name rather than your SEO contest title. Please next time do check out that i specially mentioned “Real Name” in the name field of the comments. As for getting twitter followers try John Chow’s TwitterFollower.com. Around 50 percent of those members do follow back. Plus new members will follow you as well. And of course, keep tweeting regularly. Make sure they all are not about your blog or with some link. Sometimes do talk to people!
I joined Sponsored Tweet a week or so ago and no advertisers. I only have about 250 followers at the moment. So maybe advertisers look for people with a big list.
According to SponsoredTweets my suggested price for a tweet is $6.62. I have set my price very low at $0.50.
I have around 6000 followers at this moment. Yet i do not have any advertisers. So i am not sure how big a twitter user they are looking for!!!!
i have less then 300 followers right now and my account is more then 8 or 9 months old.
i want to increase my followers but need loyal ones only and dont like to add spammers.
write here about ur experience with Sponsored Tweets, i mean about payouts if real and good enough
Jim, i have roughly 6000 followers and my account is 7-8 months old. I cannot read all the tweets from all the followers whatsoever. It’s impossible. So first of all, don’t relate followers to loyal followers. That way you will be able to get more followers quickly.
As for loyal followers, if they ever have to tweet you, they will surely Direct Message you or tweet you with “@YourTwitterID” before the message. I can read all tweets directed towards me on just a click of the button in right sidebar that says “@ Replies”.
Also, Twitter added a new feature called “Lists” couple of days back. Check that out. Your all problems are answered in that feature alone. Make a list of people you really care about and that’s it.
As for Sponsored Tweets, i have no experience whatsoever. It all sounded great when i first got to their site. Only realizing that 6000 followers ain’t anything for them. I haven’t got any offer till now!
Sponsered Tweets seems to have kicked in. My followers have been flooded with ads. and keep telling me my account has been compromised. I thought I only approved one ad. for a short time. I have made $1 and probably lost a lot of followers. I don’t think this is for me!
