How do people make money with Twitter?

[The sandman]

It's not entirely true that people aren't making money on Twitter. Some people with large profiles sell advertising on Ebay for as much as $30 a pop.

It is true that Twitter users don't convert well unless you are making products for marketers. I created some Twitter adder software,advertised on Twitter and took $200 overnight,so you can make money if you know your market.

You can also get a lot of Traffic and use Twitter to drive people to your web page or blog. I've noticed my blogs go to PR2 in a couple of weeks and Alexa rankings for my sites reaching 200k and that's all down to Twitter. Now this does result in sales and revenue from the Google Adsense program. I estimate that Indirectly Twitter is responsible for about 40% of my sales.

My ebay auctions get a coulple of hundred views in less than a minute, which results in sales every time I list an auction.

As you can see there are ways to make money using Twitter, but you have to do your research and get to know your market.

Hope this helps
