Make Money on Twitter

Now let's dig into this post.

Twitter is a fun tool that many internet marketers are still failing to utilize in their efforts to make money online. First of all, by building up your twitter profile you increase the number of people that listen to you. You can drive traffic to your own website, or to affiliate offers easily in a single tweet. In this post I’ll teach you exactly how you can start earning at least $20 a day for a single affiliate tweet. When reading the tutorial, remember to always put your twitter friends ahead of your lust for money, because if you start spamming crappy affiliate links they’ll get pissed off and leave you for good.

Building a Profile:

1. The first and most obvious step is to sign up for twitter, or if you already have a twitter account then log in.
2. In order to build a following you’re going to have to make your profile unique. That doesn’t mean you have to do anything special though, just upload a profile picture and change your profile background. You should try to stand out among others by not using the default profile image or background.
3. Update a few times, people are less likely to follow you when you don’t have any updates. So say something, even if it’s just to yourself. Say something like, “I’m getting used to twitter”, or give a few updates of what you’re doing. That’s what Twitter is meant for!
4. Now that you’ve twittered around for a bit you should be ready to start getting some friends! Click on the ‘Find People’ tab and then search a one letter key word like ‘money’ or ‘dog’. The people that show up have those keywords in their names and are likely to be interested in the subject. You can go down the list and follow the people that seem interesting, and hope that they will follow you back. There is software out there that helps to automate the process, but for now I’d say we should try and keep things legit.
5. Now you need to socialize with the people you are following. If you have something useful to reply to their twitter then simple add @theirname before your reply. The more people you message directly, the more people will add you back as their friends. When you find that some people aren’t as interesting as you’d hoped, you can stop following them by checking their profile.

Making Some Money:

This is the good part of the guide, I didn’t put too much thought into the ‘Building a Profile’ section because it’s pretty self explanatory. Anyways, now that you’ve got some friends, you’re ready to start sharing your cool offers with them. Generally that would mean advertising useless links that people would regard as completely irrelevant, but depending on who you chose as your friends and what you’re advertising, you could catch their interest. The simple concept introduced in this guide will open up your mind and get you thinking about other opportunities to make money with Twitter.

1. First of all, what you’re going to want to do is sign up to CPAlead.com which is a CPA affiliate network that approves webmasters pretty fast, and always has some good surveys to promote. You implement the ideas in this guide with other affiliate networks as well, but I’ve found CPAlead to be the easiest.
2. Once your account at CPAlead has been approved, you can login and check out the surveys. I would suggest finding harmless surveys like the ‘Ice Cream Quiz‘ where users can find out what kind of ice cream their personality suggests they would like. When you get down to offers like ‘Win a free $500 gift card’ people tend to get a little skeptical, a little pissed off, and a little less likely to fill out the survey and make you money.
3. Go to CPAlead.com, pick a survey from their large list, shorten the url using tinyurl.com, and then post it to twitter.

It’s simple, and as long as you pick a cool survey, everybody gets to have a little bit of fun. Remember that once you get the concept down this will become a second nature. I’m sure people could put their own twists on these methods and start making tons of moolah with Twitter.
