SponsoredTweets keeps growing (and paying)

This week, I’ve noticed a big up tick in the amount I’m making from Sponsored Tweets referrals.

As I’ve explained before, with SponsoredTweets, you make money when advertisers run promotions on your feed, but you also earn a percentage of money earned by people you’ve signed up for SponsoredTweets.

I’ve been getting lots of emails lately from SponsoredTweets, telling me I’ve made money from people I’ve referred. This increase has happened suddenly and I take it to mean that SponsoredTweets is growing and thriving.

I’ve also been getting lots more messages in my inbox from RevTwt, telling me I’ve got new ads I can run on my Twitter feed. These ads pay an average of 0.05 cents a click. That’s not a huge amount, obviously.

But I like the fact that many of RevTwt’s ads are slightly (note: I said “slightly”) less “spammy” than those run by similar Twitter ad networks.

I’ve gotten grief from my followers when I’ve run really bad ads that slipped through when I didn’t monitor what I was running.

Your followers DO notice this, and they care. Don’t risk losing followers for the chance to make a nickel!

Anyway, I sense that all this activity (along with RevTwt’s much-needed website makeover) means Twitter network advertising is hanging on in this economy. Imagine how it might take off in boom times.

Start exploring these money-making opportunities now so you’ll be ready when the economy turns around.
