OK, I keep getting asked this question from folks who are skeptical…
“How do you really make money on twitter?”
There are now tonnes of ebooks out there to make money with twitter and most of them are pure scams and they only make money by selling you the ebook on making money.
I’m going to explain the basics right here. No tricks, no scam.
These are the real methods that I use to make money off twitter.
I’ve made several thousand dollars and currently average around $1000 per month off twitter.
There are two main WAYS of sending your message, and two main TYPES of messages to make money off of.
The 2 main ways of sending the message are:
- The Obvious one – the twitter update field
- The other one – Direct messages
The 2 mains types of messages to make money on twitter are:
- An affiliate link
- A sponsored twitter message
An affiliate link is the key way that you can make any money off twitter, and if you don’t understand what an affiliate link is, I’m not going to fully explain it in this post. look it up. The quick summary, you send someone to purchase a product and you make a referral fee or commission on it.
So how do you put an affiliate link on your update or in a direct message? Simple, a URL shortener, the same way you would share any other link on twitter. I use bit.ly, but you can use which ever one you want. Pick your affiliate product to promote, shorten the link and tweet it. The closer the product you promote is suited to your personal profile or niche, and the more engaged you are to your twitter followers, the higher the chance someone will buy what you are flogging.
And the final secret…Which products work best to promote?
Well that answer is easy and logical if you think about it. A twitter related product obviously. People on twitter, use twitter and are always looking at new tools and services to use it better, get more followers, automate responses etc.
The type of tool that has made the most affiliate money is ‘automated following tools’ Most pro versions cost $50 – $100 and almost all have an affiliate program to sign up for. This one is my top seller and has made me over $2000 in affiliate revenue…

The other main way is a ‘sponsored twitter’ message. check out sponsored tweets here ~ http://bit.ly/cHCPp
For this you need to sign up to the one of about 6 different companies that do sponsored tweets and you review the sponsored messages to send out and you get paid either per message tweeted, or on a cost per click. You can make anywhere from $5 per tweet up to $250. To make the big bucks you pretty much need to be a star or Internet celeb with tonnes of followers. If not, you will have to settle for a few dollars or cents off each tweet. If you want to cheat and get massive amounts of followers like the make money guys, just purchase some auto follow software yourself.
So there you go…go make money on twitter, tweet wisely!
