How could I earn money on Twitter?

[Kieran]

Hi, I've got my own personal Twitter account with over 3000+ followers. I see some people who advertise tweets and then say the get paid for it. How do I do it? Surely I have enough followers to start promoting? Can someone help me please? Thanks.

Twitter is a social networking/microblogging website and you can't earn money using it. You can, however, use Twitter to effectively market your website or blog.

Twitter is a great tool for promotion. By constantly tweeting and re-tweeting, you can get more attention from thousands of users. Just make sure your tweets are worth-reading, worth-remembering and worth-replying to. Connect with your followers on a personal level rather than forcing your followers to visit your website. Coercion means you're creating spammy posts.

Link builders earn money by using Twitter not because they have a business niche to promote but because they are working for someone. Someone pays them in exchange of their service.

You can basically post an add selling tweets. It also depends on the niche of your twitter account. If you have a certain niche of followers you can ask for a lot more when selling tweets.

Try to mix amazon affiliate links in your tweets, but they should always be related to stuff you usually tweet about.
