Make money with Twitter: Cash in on your ability to twit!

Internet has unlocked many doors and every door has unlimited opportunities knocking. One needs to be patient and study by actually accessing the net and learning about how search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc work. To a new user this may seem overwhelming, but until you start, you can get nowhere. If you are one of those who like to be on top of things relating to current news and happenings in today’s world but like most lack time, tweeting is a good way to express your opinion or feelings on current events.

Blogging is at a more macro level. In twitter accounts you simply follow accounts that are to your liking and read about what people you are interested in are doing every day. By retweeting or posting your own tweet, which is unique and charismatic, you are likely to enlist a lot of followers. Initially it maybe just your inner circle of friends and family, who in turn will have their own friends and acquaintances. It’s like throwing a stone in a pond and creating unending ripples in ever-widening circles. On account of paucity of time, more and more people are willing to tweet rather than blog. Keeping your tweets crispy and witty and at the same time informative is the key.

You can use search engines to find out ways and means for increasing your following. For e.g. Auto-pilot; SEO, etc. There are quite a few ways to monetizing your twitter account. But know this – if you are aiming to use all the tips given by various tweeter’s who are commercially exploiting their tweets only to make money then you are off on the wrong track. It’s only if you are genuinely interested in voicing your educated and informed views to the world at large; and are genuinely interested in what people are doing will this work.

Or else you are a celebrity in your own respects and command enough interest for people to follow what you are doing; you can enlist sponsors for your tweets and get paid. One of the oldest companies is Magpie, which pays you for tweets and gets money from advertisers to allow them to tweet in your name and space. Or else you can be the interface between well-known people in your ken and the public at large. The best example as to how internet and emails can be used to rope in followers is to read about how President Obama’s campaigners worked which resulted in his historic win. In fact if you have a Gmail account your account settings would help you enlist on to online shopping sites to advertise their ware on your tweets and earn commissions as and when a product got sold to a follower of your tweet. Renting out your tweeter space is another option. Earnings from your tweets may not be phenomenal but earning between $ 20 to $100 a week as pocket money through your passions – tweeting is a great idea. Only be discreet not to make it so commercialised as to turn off people.
