By now you should know what Twitter is, but did you know you can make money from Twitter. A couple of weeks ago Sponsored Tweets was launched by IZEA, the company that has brought us PayPerPost. Think of Sponsored Tweets as a PayPerPost for Twitter. Sponsored Tweets will connect you with advertisers and they will pay you to Tweet their message. There are quite a few Twitter advertising platforms where you can make money from Twitter but this is the best one yet, especially since it is coming from IZEA. I had heard about them launching this platform and I signed up as soon as I was able to. So I have been using Sponsored Tweets for a few weeks now and here is what I think so far….
Getting Setup is Easy
Getting setup with Sponsored Tweets is easy, just go ahead and click on the big signup button. From there you will be asked to connect your Twitter account to Sponsored Tweets. From there you will be asked for your charge per tweet and charge per click. Sponsored Tweets will put in a suggested value depending on your Twitter stats. I left those values in there for myself, but you can change them if you want. Then you can go ahead and enter in the rest of the information. Once you are done filling out the form you are all signed up and ready to go!
Easy To Use, Full Disclosure
Once you are all signed up you can click on the oppurtunities tab at the top and see if you have any opportunities you can take. If you have one it will be listed there, also the @spontwts bot will send you a direct message on Twitter letting you know you have an offer for a sponsored tweet. If you have an offer you can go to it and see what they want you to tweet. If you decide to take the opportunity either a tweet will be made up for you or you can make one up depending what the advertiser wants. Also you have to choose a disclosure method, either something like “(sponsored)” or “tweet sponsored by”. IZEA is known for a great disclosure policy and Sponsored Tweets is no different.
Once you have chosen what you want to Tweet it will be sent to the advertiser and if they approve it, it will be tweeted from your account automatically within the given time frame. So you don’t even have to worry about when you have to tweet the message, it is done for you. And just like that you are paid for posting a message on Twitter! Thats easy money if you ask me! You can cash out the money in your account once it reaches $50.
A Referral Program
When Sponsored Tweets first launched it did not have a referral program, but now it does! They way it works is for everyone you sign up you get 10% of Sponsored Tweets portion of revenue for each successful transaction that they make. Sounds like a good way to increase your earnings with Sponsored Tweets!
