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.

  1. I have a friend who’se a professional twitterer. The job is simply amazing. I remember myself exclaiming… “someone pay’s you to… tweet?!?”. Haha. Of course that was still the dawn of Twitter. After that, he was able to expound my knowledge on the social media power of twitter.

        1. Great blog I found here!
          Just reacting to akira07. Those who think twitter will die just lack foresight. It’s becoming a powerful and successful business tool generating millions for users. We expect it to grow not die

    3. And now you’re understand about the twitter power, right? Well, how your friend now? Is it already success?

      In the past, i’m also confuse, how can twitter used to make money since it’s only social networking/microblogging + there is only 140 characters allowed.

        2. Yeah its basically sending sms message to all your Tweeter followers. Whether they like it or not they will get your message. The more followers you have the more individual you will reach.
          .-= ZXT´s last blog ..6 basic rules in blogging =-.

    1. I would suggest you to get some genuine followers to your Twitter account and share valuable stories with them. And when you do it, there will be more people interested in your profile on Twitter and there will also be some people who would be interested in using your services to promote their businesses

        1. If my definition about genuine follower is right, so the mostly effective way to get it is : To show your twitter account, and offer people to follow only on site which have same topic with your mostly tweet topic, right?

          F.e if your tweet is mostly about make money online, it’s better to search follower from smartbloggerz, dp, tzi, right?
          .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

          1. Oh i get it. So genuine follower is a follower who follow you to see an update from you, right? Or in other word, their taking attention on our tweet. CMIIW 😛

      3. The only problem is you can not choose your follower. I mean you can follow someone interesting but how do you get someone interesting or genuine to follow you. Besides what will you do if someone you think isn’t “genuine” follows you? Block them?

    2. Yes its not easy but I think what you need to first is to build your followers before thinking of any paid tweets.

      1. Again, i will go for it but i should manage my twitter account properly yet. Maybe the first step is by deleting some ungenuine follower?

        Anyway, since i find comment level is become 5 again, i just reply your question above here. CMIIW is stand for “Correct Me If I’m Wrong” 😛

  3. Nice Post Anil Gupta… I am using Tweeting Affiliate Links and trends… Professional Twitterer is new one.. Can you explain more about that?

    1. Professional Twitterer is used same way as we use problogger for highly popular blogerrs like Shoemoney, JohnChow and Darren Rowse. You will become professional Twitterer when you have a big fan base on Twitter.

        1. I think since he is knowledged enough about twitter monetization, i’m sure he already practice it and earn some. I would like to know also.

  4. Rockin post Anil, affiliate links are a real good way to make money with twitter, but i doubt that direct advertising is efficient enough unless you have a mass number of followers or a very famous blog. Anyhow this has been a pretty good post. I’ve spoken to many people who have made from $40 to $120 from Twitter, this maybe a small amount but it is very useful for newbies.

    1. Yes, i’m oftenly hear about people who earn from twitter in that range. But i never find there is a people who get a thousand dollar from twitter marketing, do you know one for example? Just to motivate me to do twitter monetizing.

      About direct advertising for affiliate link is enough, well, but if your link exposurement can be increased, why not? Just tweet it 😛

  6. Twitter Affiliate links is the wide spreading now. And twitter, needless to say, is a great thing to generate money and traffic. I saw some of the people went crazy when twitter goes down even for five min. You can know the power of twitter with this.

        1. Ok, not just trust, but also have same interest with me, right? So if our twitter account purposed to tweet about technology, and we’re tweeting affiliate link of product which technology-related, the conversion rate will high, right?

    2. But theres too many people making money out of their blogs too. This only means Twitter is a good medium for making money. If you do it right then you really can earn good money of of Twitter.
      .-= ZXT´s last blog ..My Bohol Trip part 1 =-.

    2. I think there is no harm in doing advertisement on any platform by the time we are sharing valuable resources with our blog readers and followers on Twitter. With this, we also need to keep a ratio of something like 10 free tweets + one paid tweet. And your followers will not mind that one paid tweet if it’s of some use to them or you are promoting something which they will get at a very cheap prices if they buy that product through you. Suppose you share tips about making money to your followers on Twitter and in between, you send few tweets some of products that are going to help them earn some money some way will be as helpful as your non-paid tweets

  10. Thanks for the tips, some of them is familiar with me but i just aware about the monetizing a twitter background about. But is it not againts the twitter rules? (to use background as advertisement is quite dirty way to advertise :P). I will look if there is a people who want to use my profile background :P.
