Micro blogging would have never been so amazing without Twitter. Be it sportsmen, celebrities, politicians or Rehman Malik, nearly everyone uses Twitter to exchange ideas, information and share experiences.
Seemingly, no one can put up Google or Yahoo ads and monetize their Twitter profiles, it is not possible. However, there are ways through which you can make some extra money using your Twitter influence.
BuySellAds.com, a very popular online advertising program offers its publishers to get paid from advertisers for tweeting their ad campaigns. This program is known as the “Sponsored Tweets or BuySellTweets.” The good thing is that the publisher does not need to have a website registered to their network which itself is not that easy.
Instead, users can Sign Up here: http://buyselltweets.com/ to create a custom URL for their Twitter account to fill in the application form.
You must have a decent amount of followers in order to apply, at least 4k-6k. The application process takes about a week and the user is notified via email if their property got approved or not. Those who already have registered blogs can simply set up a sponsored tweet through the author dashboard.
The payments are made on per tweet basis and the publisher is the price setter. Your followers set your price, more active followers means you can set higher price per tweet. Never set a price too high, advertisers conventionally opt for lesser price/tweet. Here’s an image of few of the top users of the BuySellTweets Program.
BuySellAds offer three withdrawal methods; Wire Transfer, Paypal and Cheque. The minimum balance for PayPal withdrawal is $20 for paypal, $500 for Wire Transfers and $50 for Cheques. Also, there is a $35 fee for each wire transfer. User can set up withdrawal method through dashboard > Cashout Settings.
