8 Killer Ways to Make Money With Twitter

Rule No.1: Never put all your eggs into one basket. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1

When I was newbie I used to think that blogging was the most important thing to help me make money online; Now that I am old, I know it is. However, if done well, there are other profitable ways to do things without spend for both a domain and hosting service.

With my blog I covered a lot of different ways people are making money online, but I haven’t even scratched the surface.

I hate using the term “easy money” but if you have enough followers, Twitter has got to be one of the easiest ways to generate passive income too. Through Twitter you can make a reasonable amount of money by using your Twitter account. Below I listed some services to add to your Twitter experience.

Note: All these services need that you’ve a good amount of followers. So, if you want to learn how I did reach 10.000+ followrs with my site, I’ll suggest you to read my “Twitter Guide: Tips And Tricks To Get More Twitter Followers“

1. Direct Advertising

This is great way of making some quick cash. Maybe you’ve already heard about service like Sponsored Tweets or Adly.com. They both works the same way. You just need to write tweet in your own words with a sponsored link. Before to join these type of services I’ll suggest you to increase the number of followers to your site due many company have certain requirements such as followers count, follower to friend ratio, and so on.

2. Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to generate income through your Twitter account. Just putting some affiliate links in your tweets(my favorite affiliate networks are: Clickbank, Commission Junction, Shareasale and Pepperjam). If you’ve already experience with affiliate programs through your blog, then facebook is look like. You need to place a link or ad and you earn only if you bring people to click on the links, and then make a purchase.

3. Pro-Twittering

Pro Twittering works like direct advertising but the whole tweet profile becomes an advert. In a nutshell, you actually tweet about products, and company pay you for tweeting reviews on their products, or by setting up a tweet account on behalf of a business or company.

4. Brand Building

Twitter account can be done to build a brand and promote a particular product. Rather than use it to direct review or advert, your tweets are intended to build a brand.

In other words, you will be tweeting a concept which will be created around a particular brand. In this time of tweet for money, you could even pretend to be that ‘product’ creating its own tweets. This is a popular format for brand-building products.

5. Pop-ups

I don’t like popup as system of monetizing because annoying my readers too. Anyway, I’ve noticed somebody use this system to make additional income from twitter.

The the concept behind pop-up ads is very simple. When reader move the mouse over the link rather than being connected directly to the site, they will see a small ad, either popping up in another window, or running for a few seconds which the reader may choose to click on before re-directing the person to other page.

6. Get Sponsorship

As almost everyone has some kind of social networking page, it is possible to try for sponsorship from a company or business using Twitter or Facebook account. Set up your Twitter page, and then try to get a good number of followers. Once you have a satisfactory count, you can then appeal for sponsorship through a tweet or you can approach the company directly. You must be really lucky to get a sponsorship.

7. Use Twitter Profile Background

Another utilized way to make money through Twitter is to place an advert on the background of your Twitter Profile. It is a method much used by company that want to publicize and grow their brand. A service I use is twittad. Just set price you want to sell your space, and the tool do the rest.

8. Use Your Bio

In your Twitter profile, you will find bio. This is the place where you put a few personal details. It is possible to use this area of Twitter to plug different product messages. Simply insert sales messages into the bio. This should be done with the company’s permission, of course, and they may offer you a sum to plug their products on your profile.

Despite a lot of people has downloaded my FREE ebook about making money online blogging and driving traffic to the blog, I still not mentioned within it how you can benefit from Twitter like myself, so before to update it, I decided to give on my blog a few tips and trick to add to your Twitter experience.

No matter what your business is about, you can find potential customers related to your niche.

I want to let you an example. Recently, I received an email from my reader which asked me how he could promote his stuff. So, I tried to create a quickly Twitter account and started adding some followers. Well, I was surprised when he made sales after only three days he being on Twitter.

The rule to increase traffic with Twitter is to increase the number of followers. Of course isn’t new. However, while first you had need to do everything manually which make you spend a lot of your time, now you can follow people, unfollow, and so much more automatically and without any effort.

By using these simple applications you save a lot of your time, because do everything for you which is the true secret to driving a lot of traffic from Twitter on any blog.

How I Really Drive Traffic To My Blog Via Twitter

First at all, you have to increase you Twitter followers. The most followers you get the most likelihood you have to accomplish your goals such as sell product or services, increasing subscription, as traffic to your blog as well.

Of course, getting 10000 or more followers it take you a lot of time. So, there are a few tool that will allow you to automatically do the entire job, such as adding people, deleting, Tweeting and much more.

I personally use a great software, called Tweet Adder, it allow me to add more people, and make the things quickly, however you can do the same job manually as well

That’s my method to add people. Of course it couldn’t be right for many people, but I wanted to say how I do it.

The first thing you need to do is find some big twitters on your niche. E.g. usually I go into problogger, copyblogger, and others Twitter profiles, then I follow people that follow this big name, because most probably be interested in following myself.

In summary, pick the Twitter profile you are interest in, then click on followers, now in the top left will be a button saying “Follow….(name of followers)”(look image below). It will automatically start adding one of his followers every 2 seconds till its added 1000.

Note: Remember that Twitter have a limit, so after 1000 people it will stop adding.

It’s Time To Take Action

I’ll suggest to add people every day, at the same hours, usually 4 – 6pm of UK time, because usually is the most active time on Twitter. If you want to find out what the exact time is right now at any of 7 million locations around the world, I reccomend to check time.is. In this way you’re more likely to get people follow you back once you’ve added them.

Usually, by adding 1000 people, I will get around 200 view my profile and click my website URL which means I get 400 highly targeted visitors in 24 hours.

Of course, these are just the first visitor I get, they will also revisit when I tweet and other people will visit my site when my followers retweet my tweets to their followers. As I said before, I use Tweet Adder to velocize the process, so if you can’t get it, be patience.

Cutting People On Twitter Be Crucial

The downside to adding 1000 people per day is that you will have more following every day, than followers, so this is isn’t good because you will be more likely to follow you. None follow someone who is following 600 people and only has 100 people following him back.

In this case, the one thing you can do is to cut down the amount of people you follow on Twitter.

There are different methods I use to delete who doesn’t follow-me back. Site like untweeps.com will allow you to automatically unfollow those people that follow you back once you’ve added them. Another useful tool is untwollow which will allow you to unfollow up to 2000 people at a time.

I hope you found this article helpful and mabe a bit of inspiration for get more Twitter Followers.
