You can actually make money on Twitter, A method that really works !

Just like you, I do see a lot of offers everyday, ones that promises to help you make money and followers in minutes on Twitter. mostly, one could easily make out if its a scam or not from the looks of it. Too good to be true offers that they are.

But I stumbled upon this app SponsoredTweets recently, that genuinely helps you make money on Twitter. In fact, I had signed up and completely forgot about it about one month ago. And last day, I got an email saying someone is interested to advertise on my network. I checked the offer, it was genuine and I tweeted the message out. Moments later, I got paid $XX just for one tweet ! And believe me, I still thought its a scam. But no, I could withdraw the money to my Paypal account with a click (and no extra fees), and I got the money. That was really cool.

So, how does the whole system work ?

Its simple. Sponsored Tweets allows advertisers to create sponsored tweets by connecting with Tweeters through a dynamic marketplace. Advertisers pay people to start a conversation with control over delivery and full disclosure required. Tweeters have the freedom to choose what twitter advertisers they work with and the messages they tweet.

The process is simple too.

Step 1 – You sign up for Sponsored Tweets, just like any other app with an authorization.

Step 2 – You select what type of advertisers you are interested in from the different categories available.

Step 3 – You do nothing but keep tweeting.

Step 4 – You approve/deny offers that comes to you.

Step 5 – Tweet the approved offers and get paid almost immediately !

Fine Tuning your earning potential on Twitter

Of course, just like any other ad system, there are some things you could fine tune to get the maximum out of it. Here are some things I found interesting.

Tip 1 – Setting the Ad Unit Type

When you are approached by potential advertisers, there are two ways you can help them reach their message to your followers. One – By writing your own (requires approval from the advertiser.) and Two – Using the message given by the advertiser.

I’ve found that using your own message, or redrafting the advertiser’s message to fit your audience is a better and smart way to increase your earning potential.

Tip 2 – Setting your categories and Keywords

You can set the categories that interest you. This means that advertisers looking for potential publishers will find you based on these keywords, so make them as descriptive and targeted to your niche. i.e – if you’re a technology guy and your tweets are mostly tech oriented, you might want to set the keywords around technology and not anything that might annoy your followers.

So, basically Sponsored Tweets is a great way to earn money on Twitter but just like any other ad network, you could screw things up if you don’t do it the right way. Some things you might want to remember while using this network.

- This is an advertising system, so I won’t be surprised if you have very few followers and you expect to get paid soon. You get paid only if you are active on Twitter. Think like this – What are the things you will look in a twitter user before paying him to tweet about your product/service ?

To get an idea of how people are getting paid, and by how much, check this list of Sponsored Tweets users. They are ordered by –

- Celebs
- Staff Picks
- Follower Count
- Payout Guarantee
These can always be reordered based on your preferences by clicking on the column header.

Support and Help available too

And, there is a discussion forum where you can post your problems/questions to the staff, so there’s complete transparency over the whole thing. And this product comes from Izea, so mind you, this is no scam !

The problems you could come across, and tips to beat tem

- It might take a few hours before you start getting offers from advertisers.

- Setting your payout rate too high may not attract advertisers, but try with a lower payout and gradually build it up.

- Its not purely follower count that matter, creating a good following on Twitter and engaging with them is a good signal to advertisers that you’re a worthy publisher.

- You must have a PayPal account to withdraw your earnings to, and there are no charges for this, as I’m aware.

So happy tweeting, and hope you’d make some money along the way as well.
