Idea 1: Direct Advertising

The companies which want to advertise their products through Twitter. However, these companies require a high click-through rate of your tweets. The click through rate of your tweets can be analyzed by URL tracking services like bit.ly or SU.pr. Also you will be requiring a large number of followers. So if you have a good click-through ratio and large number of people following you then this is a good option.

Idea 2: Monetizing Twitter Profile Background

The background of Twitter profile can you earn you some money too. There are websites like TwittAd.com which provide services to twitter user to monetize their twitter background page. Advertisers who are interested in you will place a background image on our profile which provides publicity to their company. You can select the duration and price you want to keep your advertiser. Once that is finalized TwittAd will use the Twitter API to upload the ad to your Twitter profile.

Idea 3: Personal Bio

Did you know that your bio on Twitter could also be worth some money. Bio is the area of your Twitter profile page where you write about yourself. You can make money by putting a sales message on your bio.

Idea 4: Redirecting Services

This method to make money on Twitter is somewhat similar to the CPV (cost-per-view) way of making money. When a person clicks on your tweet links to reach his desired page then there is an advertisement page that opens up for a few seconds before it is redirected to the landing page. The payout in this type of advertising is generally in CPM (per thousand impressions). The only drawback is that this may not be appreciated by your followers who click on your link. So the point is to not put an ad link to all links that tweet on your profile.

Idea 5: Finding Sponsors

Twitter could be a great place where you can find your future sponsors. You can carefully have many people of your blog niche following you and then tweet for sponsors. Many webmasters have found sponsors by tweeting it on Twitter.

Idea 6: Tweeting Affiliate Links

This is a way to sell affiliate products through your tweets. If you are a reputed Twitter user with many followers then there is a high chance that your followers purchase affiliate links that you recommend. So by tweeting link to the affiliate product page you can get high commission on each sale depending on the product. Just make sure that you are selling quality products and not poor quality as it will affect your credibility for future affiliate sales.

Idea 7: Build a Brand

By tweeting you can eventually build a brand for your company. By tweeting your niche posts. You can create a brand image for yourself or your company. Twitter is a powerful medium which many people use; it is up to us to brand ourselves. This can happen in the long run as people will slowly begin to recognize you.

Idea 8: Professional Twitterer

This is a lot like pro-blogging, those who become professional Twitterers. Pro-Twitterers are people who do not tweet for themselves but are hired by big corporations and companies to build an online presence through Twitter.

Idea 9: Twitter Trends

You can keep up with the trends that are occurring on Twitter to optimize it on your site. These trends are topics that people are looking for most on the internet. You can make use of this trend to post new topics or provide new insight.

I use Adfly, SponsoredTweets and MyLikes to monetize Twitter. I have a large network of followers and these programs help me to make money on Twitter. I also promote my blogs and affiliate programs and try to drive traffic to my other projects as well. The main key in Twitter marketing is having lots of targeted followers that will be interested in your tweets and stuff you’re promoting and selling.

Its interesting to read about people making money with twitter but other than tweeting with friends and clients I have still not explored twitter fully. I guess this also means about people who do not have blogs or website but still makes money.
