So you have a healthy following on Twitter, and you’re looking to turn that following into some extra cash by monetizing your tweets — why not, right? This can be a daunting task, as picking an ad network that will work best with your Twitter account can take some significant trial-and-error before you settle with the right platform.
The best way to make money on Twitter is by sponsored tweets. By selling a tweet on your page, you’re effectively posting your advertiser’s link to your following, which could potentially drive traffic and help with search engine benefits, making sponsored tweets an attractive option for businesses looking to advertise their website on Twitter. For those looking to maximize the amount of money they earn from their Twitter profile, we recommend:
- Post good content frequently. Your followers won’t stick around for long if they’re only viewing sponsored tweets on your page.
- Try multiple “sponsored tweet” platforms. You are able to use several at the same time, if you so choose.
- Pick the sponsored tweets you post to your page wisely, and if possible, keep them somewhat related to your profile / interests / business.
We’ve had the pleasure of reviewing these apps to outline which ad platforms we have tried and have personally used on our Twitter accounts. Without further ado…
Sponsored Tweets
Sponsored Tweets (website) has been around for years, and has used their time wisely to perfect their process. It’s very simple; once you’ve entered in your information about your Twitter profile, you can select a number of offers from companies who will pay you to tweet their message.
Once the platform has verified your information, and once you’ve set a budget, you can start posting ads to your Twitter profile and get paid immediately.
My Likes
Earn cash by posting Tweets about products you like. My Likes (website) is a great alternative to other services, as you can actually select Tweets that may be suitable for your audience, as opposed to more spammy services that may not give you that option.
Tweet Peddler
Tweet Peddler lets you post your account and set an amount that you’ll sell a tweet for. Then, sit back and let the money pour in! Some of the most popular Twitter accounts on this website make thousands of dollars a month. This service is great to use in conjunction with other Twitter ad services.
Paid Per Tweet
Paid Per Tweet (website) lets you list your Twitter account, publishing your followers and other useful stats for your potential buyers. Once your page is available to the public, orders for tweets will start to come in, which will send you alerts to your inbox. Publish your paid tweets directly from the platform to save time! Like other “sponsored tweets” apps, Paid Per Tweet can be used just fine in conjunction with other similar services.
