Make Money on Twitter with Hot Product Releases

Apr

OK this is really the first way I noticed someone making money on twitter and once I saw this, it set off a light bulb in my head about not only about making money, but the true power of instant publishing platforms like twitter.

I first saw someone doing this when the Amazon Kindle 2 was released, and they tweeted about it. Clicking on this link I noticed that user had his amazon affiliate link directing to the page. I thought, wow, what a great idea! I too tweeted about it, using my own amazon affiliate link & yielded a quick sale.

The great thing about twitter is that you almost always have to use a URL shortening tool to tweet a link, and when you do you can easily embed an affiliate link.

I recommend using (This one doesn’t use the frame bar that could potentially steal your affiliate link)

If you keep on top of new products and are one of the first to tweet about it, users will click on your link and buy the product, and you will make an affiliate commission. Not only on your own twitter link, but others might Re-tweet your message and you will make money off other users re-tweeting your affiliate link!

That is the viral power of twitter…

That’s great idea, and people use it more often then before. Lately people less socialize on twitter, they just keep sending links….More spam on the way

Yup, it is certainly getting spammy on twitter and really fast. Auto direct messages are the worst offenders…

Thanks for stopping by Tatjana!

I feel like an idiot for not thinking of this idea before. I do some affiliate marketing and never connected twitter as a way to use it. Many thanks!
