Twitter is getting more users every day and since Barack Obama used Twitter for his campaign it has spread all over the world. Twitter is still relative new and therefore a goldmine for us who tries to make money online.
Method to make money on Twitter
If you think about it I’m sure you’ll figure out several methods to make money on Twitter but personally I recommend affiliate programs.
- Find affiliate programs with high revenue
- Join Twitter
- Post tweets with news within your niche
- Download/Buy an auto-follower program
- Post tweets with affiliate URL:s
- Schedule tweets with FutureTweets
Depending on how many followers and your niche, it may sometimes be better to earn money for every visitor, and sometimes when they buy something.
What is an auto-follower program
An auto-follower program is a software which automatically begin following new accounts and if they don’t follow you back, this software will unfollow them.
By using this method you can get several thousands of new followers each day without having to lift a finger. Sure, some of them will also be a software, but with several thousands followers I can assure you that some of them are real.
Unfortunately they now have a limit so you can only follow 1000 new accounts each day, but if everyone decides to follow you, you will get 365 000 followers in a year.
Disadvantage of this method
People truly hate spam and if they figure it out they will stop following today. Therefore you need to act natural and post other tweets than just your affiliate links.
Twitter will eventually have to deal with this because otherwise people will begin leaving the site. To much spam is never a good thing.Until then, you can try to earn as much money as possible.

Even i read somewhere that, paid tweet network are coming in………..

This is a nice post. Using twitter is ok as long as the people do not start to use it as spamming .Koz then it become really painful.
I never tried it but I have heard a lot about this service.I will give it a try
I agree with priscus. We must not start to spam Twitter otherwise it will go down the same road as all the other social networks. You can make money from Twitter if you use it correctly and increase your followers.
You are right George. This post is more of an educational sort than an advice. I will elaborate about this later today.
Stefan,
Twitter definitely has potential to make money, like you said. The only problem I see is that too many people are using Twitter for affiliates. The method seems to be on the road of becoming saturated. Just my two cents.
I signed up Tweeter last month. Upon sign up, I have few followers and system shows that I follow some people already. Is that auto-follower program??
I can’t be sure without looking at them, but if you haven’t told anyone about your account it may be spamusers.
Regarding the auto-follow or auto-unfollow tool, I’m currently using TweetLater and it has all this features, it’s Free to use.
Anyway, making money with twitter is not that easy unless you have a very strong background or character, you need to be well known like Problogger or JohnChow, then your followers only will trust what you’re recommended.
Stefan, do you have good experience with Twitter? I mean make money with Twitter?
Regards,
Lee
You’ve a valid point Lee and I agree that some of the users may not trust you. For the beginners it may be easier to use an affiliate that pays per click. Even though your followers wont trust you, some of them will click on your links.
It’s all about being trustworthy. Even if your main objective is just to make money online you can’t spam Twitter because then nobody will trust you. You need to be serious and deliver informational posts (for an example from Google Reader) and first then people will start clicking on your links.
My experience of making money on Twitter is actually real low since I’m not even a member. I’m using a Swedish version named Bloggy. It’s basically the same thing, but Bloggy have nestled comments.
