You can not say that Twitter is a new tool, but the fact is that the means of mass communication have recently started paying attention to it. Of course, before the question about how to make money on Twitter already existed, now it is a very popular unrest.

Whereas it is something new, there are no formulas to make money with Twitter, but reasoning about the operation of the tool can infer some basic tips.

First you must understand that there are ways direct and indirect means to make money with Twitter. Let's start talking about direct means, which are simpler, and then elaborate a little more on indirect means.

1. Direct means of making money on Twitter

The direct means to make money on Twitter are those from direct action using the tool itself.

Basically, you sign up for a service like RevTwt, which from time to time will use your account to advertise products or services. The greater the number of followers you have, the more money you will win.

Particularly I think a bad idea to make money so, for what you will make in exchange for crumbs are a spammer, and the whole world with more than two neurons is true horror of spammers. And this is peanuts, because the pay is usually calculated in accordance with its thousands of followers. I, for example, currently have 561 followers, even I qualify to earn 20 cents for every dollar espameadazinha basic advertisers decide to do.

But worse than crumbs win is to burn the movie with his followers. Have you two followers, has fifteen thousand, or millions of them, due respect is the same, and keep bombarding people with an interest in what you have to say, not automatic tweets sent by any tool, it is at least questionable.

Some earn much more than merrecas estalecas or to advertise on Twitter. There is a known case of a girl making use of scripts vested reached thousands of followers (as authentic as its relevance) asking $ 500.00 for writing a sponsored tweet. Or those who are involved in more complex actions than thrashing links in Twitter, bloggers and journalists often are paid for, among other things, tuitam about the products or services that are reporting. Of course, if they do just that (tuitam disclosure) will end up being blocked by his followers, but it is know that these people are usually invited to these actions for what they represent on the Internet and not by the number of followers.

But that is subject to the next topic.


2. Indirect means to make money on Twitter

Just as the direct means of gaining on Twitter involve post material to be sponsored and paid for this action, indirect means involving the use Twitter to publicize his other ventures in which it might be better paid.

I quote my strategies (all extremely simple) to make money on Twitter indirectly.

2.1. Promotion links

The essence of Twitter may once have been telling others that you had gone to the bathroom or that it was trimming the nails. Today is the suggestion (and sharing) of links to content on the Internet. People share videos, pictures, articles, everything you find interesting. I use Twitter to communicate when I do a post on my blogs, which are properly monetized with affiliate programs, direct advertising, etc.. When the material is good, my followers will try to pass the name (the famous RT) to its row, and so on.

Of course I take care to identify a link that is to promote my own site, including the mark "dried meat" before the text and the link itself. Not all do, but I think it's important to act this way.

Update: I forgot to mention a plugin for WordPress that automates the release of their new posts on Twitter: the Twittaí. If you do not know, visit the plugin now.


2.2. Direct advertising my business

From time to time PortoFácil, my hosting company sites, do some promotion. In these circumstances the use PortoFácil own account on Twitter to do direct advertising (as anyone who follows this account wants to know this kind of novelty), and depending on the case RT do one from my own (but not that one).

As a variation of this technique changed the avatar of my account, which normally would have my picture for a banner stating that a current promotion. The illustration of this section shows better what I'm saying.

The result of such action has been very good.

2.3. Prospecting for customers

This is one method a little more tricky to operate, and although the temptation to do a lot of this is great, I limit my exploration activity to not more than fifteen minutes a day.

Basically, I do a search on Twitter to find out who is talking about the subject that interests me. I read a timeline of the person, and if by chance I see that there is a possibility I solve the problem that the person has, I make a formal presentation.

This technique is dangerous because his followers will see you all tuitam in search of customers, and not always people who are approached in this way find a valid approach.


2.4. Other possibilities

Some people use the background of your Twitter account to advertise, or who keep an eye on promotion (mainly made by famous wealthy in search of more followers) in order to win prizes that will be used or sold later. Particularly ignore such possibilities, because I doubt its effectiveness - is too much effort for little revenue.

3. Conclusion

Make Money with Twitter is possible, feasible, and a lot of people doing it. With a little Creativity gives new strategies to create that value their existing enterprises, and with a little luck and a lot in left field you can even do as suggested by the lady of the scripts: tuitam promotions and be well paid directly for it.
