Make Money From Your Twitter Background – Twittad
Dec 8th
There are many ways to make money from twitter. You can use it to promote your website/blog, you can tweet for money, you can Retweet for money etc etc. Websites like sponsoredtweets, be-a-magpie, and ad.ly are out there which can help you make handsome money from twitter. But have you ever thought of making money from your twitter background? Yes…Twitter Background! That is a place that is visible to all the visitors of your twitter account. You can make money out of it by showing an ad there.
Twittad
Twittad is another twitter advertising agency that offers twitterers a novel way to make money from twitter – by showing an ad on the background image. The best part is that you get it for a fixed period. i.e., you can put your twitter background for rent say for a wek or 15 days, or even for 1 or 3 months. Then as soon as you get a sponsor, they will upload their background in your twitter profile and you will get a fixed amount of money for that period. I recently signed up for it and already having a campaign for which I am getting good money just to display their background. You can check my twitter profile HERE. This will give you an idea as to what is done actually.And all of this is done only after you approve an advertiser. If you don’t like that ad, you can always deny it.
All you have to do is to keep the background there for the specified period of time. That’s it. I am sure many of you use the twitter backgrounds that twitter offer. Only a few of you have till now bothered to change it to a custom background. Then why not make money by allowing someone else to put his ad there? It is a great and innovative way to make money from twitter.
I strongly recommend all of you to give it a shot and see how it work. There is nothing to lose.

Is Twitter Advertising Better than Google AdSense?
Dec 1st
As far as advertising over the internet is concerned, there is no match to Google AdSense. Millions of websites serving billions of pages show Trillions of AdSense ads per day. If you are a blogger and y our application for joining the AdSense program is approved, you must be fairly excited about earning a fortune from Google. But is it really going to happen?
Soon, you will realize that it is far more difficult than just putting ads on your blog and get the cash in your pocket. Getting decent traffic to your website, having high percentage of unique and re-visits, getting low bounce rates is a tough job. And that too all for what? A Click-Through Rate (CTR) of 1%? And what do you get from 1 click of 100 page views? 0.3$?
That is pathetic. If you log in your AdSense account regularly, you must have seen on the Log-In page, a link to success stories. There, real success stories of many website owners are published. They talk about earning 1000’s of dollars per day from AdSense. But have you ever thought why there are only a few stories there and that too never change even when there is an option for submitting your own success story? Why would someone who is successful with AdSense not want to appreciate AdSense and write a success story about his success (And get a free link on a very highly visited page on Google)?
That’s because, only a few people actually “Succeed” with AdSense. I want to clarify here that success here is not earning say 100$ a month. Almost all bloggers and website owners who maintain their blog and update daily can reach that Goal. With success, I mean earning a decent amount of money so that you actually don’t have to work. There are only a few of them out there.
On the other hand, there is this buzz of Twitter Advertising. How much potential can it have? Is is better than AdSense?
For me, definitely YES. I believe for any average blogger who wants to collect a little extra cash in his pocket without much of hard work, Twitter is much a better place to earn than AdSense.
But how?
There are many advertising platforms available for twitter. e.g. SPONSORED TWEETS, BE-A-MAGPIE, AD.LY etc etc. Most of them offer (on an average) 1$ per advertising tweet per 1000 followers per day (for pay per view ads which is what I use). Are you thinking it is less?
Let’s say you have 5000 followers. So you get 5$ per tweet per day per advertiser. If you have 5 such advertisers, then your earnings will be 25$ per day. That is 750$ per month. That’s 7.5 times than AdSense. And how much do you have to work? Just post 5 tweets per day and you can post an Ad Tweet. Those 5 tweets can be anything. The best part is that you don’t even need a website. Just a twitter account will do. I think it is a much more rewarding way to earn cash.
And don’t worry about losing your followers. If you tweet quality content, you will always get decent followers no matter how many ads you post per day.
I feel, Twitter has opened a huge doorway for part-time bloggers (like me) to earn much more from our efforts than we were previously. Thanks to all these advertising solutions. Now forget about putting a paypal “DONATE” button on your blog and start cashing your tweets. For me, twitter rocks!!! What about you?
Another “Superfast” Way to Make Money on Twitter
Nov 29th
There are many websites and services that claim that they will make money for you on twitter. It sounds very easy also. Just tweet it and bag the money. But it is not that case with most of them. I previously spoke about two of them – SPONSOREDTWEETS and BE-A-MAGPIE. Both these work very much fine. To be honest, I have not got much of a success with Sponsoredtweets but Be-a-magpie ROCKS. What is more important is that these two services are WHITELISTED. i.e. twitter recognises them as advertising companies and the quality of ads they have will not have any “BAD” impression on your followers. They have far more advertisers than most of others so you can chose which ads to tweet and which to not.
But recently, I came across another such advertising service which is in fact one of the best in the business. It was mentioned on mashable. It is AD.LY.
Apart from being White listed, it is used by many celebrity twitterers like Kim Kradashian, Dr. Drew, Nicole Richie and many more.
Also, there are other attractive offers also like you get your money on a weekly basis. You can also donate the money to charity if you like (I liked it very much. Who thinks of poor people in today,s world. This is why I like squidoo too).
I feel, if you have decent number of followers and you tweet regularly, apart from signing up for sponsoredtweets and be-a-magpie, you should also give Ad.ly a try. Trust me, it will pay off handsomely.
So SIGN-UP for Ad.Ly TODAY and start making the most of your twitter account!
Increase Your Twitter Followers – The Right Way
Nov 28th
Twitter is the biggest boom in social media today and thousands of websites and bloggers use it as their prime method for getting visitors to their sites. But did you know that about 30% registered members on twitter have less than 10 followers?
You wrote a great article or a great review about a particular thing and posted it on your blog. You are excited as the post is a result of your handwork over the weekend and you are waiting to tweet about it so that you get a good amount of visitors. But how many of your followers actually visit your link? On an average, not more than 8-10% actually click on your link and visit your blog, not because your article was not worth reading but many could not see your tweet as it was lost in the timeline before they logged in.
One great solution to this problem is to get good number of followers so that even 8-10% of them makes a good number and you get good number of visitors.
Unfortunately, getting followers was not easy in the recent times. Many sites were available which claimed that they would increase your twitter followers very quickly but what they actually did was make you follow a huge number of people who actually paid them for getting followers.
But I recently came across this website – Twitterfriends.org. It changed the way I used to think about such sites.
What special Twitterfriends.org offers?
The most important difference between Twitterfriends.org and other such sites is that there is no money involved in it (Actually there is but in a very different way as I will explain later).
When you join this site, you are given people to follow with your choice. When you follow them, you get credits. And now you can use those credits to make others follow you. It is as simple as that.
Where is money involved here?
Although you can earn credits by simply following people, you can also buy credits and believe me, it is cheap. The more credits you buy, the more followers you get.
But what is the use if I also have to follow many people?
If you use twitter for just for promoting your blog, then you should not mind following many people. It is infact a good practice to follow all those who follow you because then you maintain your followers and don’t lose them. What is the harm in following people if your sole purpose is to get website traffic from twitter?
But what if I want to get good quality tweets from the people I follow?
Then you can do one of two things –
- Buy credits at Twitterfriends.org (you can buy once you register).
- Make another twitter account and follow only those people you want to. You can manage multiple twitter accounts by using brilliant sites like Hootsuite.com.
Twitterfriends.org is a website that is a great source of more followers for people who run small blogs and websites online and want to gain more followers on twitter to increase their popularity. Give it a try and get on track.
How to Make Money With Your Twitter Account
Nov 18th
Twitter is today,s one of the best methods to communicate. It really has changed the way we talk to each other and has emerged as one of the most simple, innovative and effective ways of promiting your business in web 2.0.
But is that all twitter has on offfer? The answer is NO!
But how can you make maoney just by tweeting? If you are a regular twitter user and have already built a large fan following, you can cash it out in many ways. I am going to discuss two of the best ways you can make money with your twitter account.
1. Sponsoredtweets.com
It is the best platform for any tweeter to make money. All you need to earn money with sponsoredtweets is more than 200 followers and an account older than 120 days. That’s it. Once you sign up, (which you can do HERE), your account becomes visible to thousands of potential advertisers. Then, depending upon the type of tweets you do and the topics you often discuss, you are contacted by an advertiser. You will be paid a fixed amount of money for every tweet from that advertiser that you tweet. And that is not all, the best part is that you decide the amount you want per tweet. Although it is nice to keep your demands to a lower level, but if you are an influential twitterer and have a large followers list, you can ask for a handsome amount of money per tweet.
What diferentiates sponsoredtweets from other platforms is the quality of advertisers it has. It is definately the best one available to make money of your twitter account. Sign up TODAY.
2. Be-a-Magpie.com
It is (according to me) the second best tool available for making money with twitter. It also works more or less the same way but the tweets you get to post may pay you differently. e.g., the advertisers may pay you on a “Per View” basis or a “Per sale” basis. But the good part is that you get to select which ads you want to tweet and you can even rephrase it in your own words (requires approval from the advertisers). Sign up TODAY.
I for a regular twitterer having a good number of followers, these two sites are all that is required. There are many more I can list here but I feel it can have a bad impact on your twitter profile as it will make your impression as a spammer.
If you own a website and use twitter as a promotional method, that is what you should use it as primarily. Making money out of it is ok but don’t over-do it or else, you will landup in loss.
