Twitter Income Secrets
Can you really earn an income from twitter?
If you're asking me as to whether I believe one can earn an income on twitter - my answer is yes! Twitter is a micro blogging platform that allows you to tweet anything you want to your followers and earn money, find great business or shopping deals and lots more. The best part is twitter makes a great advertising platform for those of you who own businesses.
There are companies who have earned a massive twitter income like dell and there are people whose tweet(s) have earned a few hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars for just one tweet like celebrities! They get paid to tweet by a sponsor! Then there are normal people who tweet their life out in hope of making a few dollars, and some do, but unfortunately a majority to this date haven't earned one dime on twitter.
First you need to have something to sell to bring in your twitter income assuming you already have a twitter account.
If you do not own a website then these ideas may be just for you.
Post your affiliate links. Join sites like allposters or click 2 sell and start promoting their products. Posting your affiliate links on twitter is one of the most effective ways to make money on twitter. Most affiliate services are free to join earning you a reasonable income on twitter. Sign up here if you are not signed up already and start posting your links on twitter. See my favorite money making affiliate sites here and why.
Get paid to tweet. There are companies that pay you to tweet about their products using services like magpie and Rev Tweet and Spon Tweet.
Make money with url shorteners. Sites like ad.ly present an ad before presenting your domain when a twitterer clicks on it.
Advertise your articles. Posting interesting articles that pay you per view will earn you some twitter income. You must love writing and know what your audience want. Try here for writing sites that pay per view.
Sign up with Squidoo.. the page you are reading right now. Squidoo pages are called a lens and allow you to add some videos or pictures, articles almost anything except porn and they pay you when people click on the ads on your page. You also make money from any affiliate links you add to your site like Amazon or allposters or Zazzle etc. You can build quizzes, polls, embed videos, caption photos and so much more. Be as creative as you want to be. Then post your links in your twitter bio and your tweets and when users visit and purchase you make money.
Sign up at Xomba, one of my favorite writing sites and get paid when others click on the ads. Xomba is another writing site that allows you to earn money by writing articles and by writing blurbs which creates a backlink for your sites if you own any.
Open an account on zazzle and promote other people products or create your own. Zazzle gives you a customizable store of your own saving you expenses on getting a webhost.
Sell t shirts on threadless or twitshirts. Threadless pays a one time fee if your shirt is a winner or if you nominate someone they pay you 140 and the person still gets the 500. But their 500 is not all cash. 350 is cash and 150 goes in credits. Twitshirt pays 1.00 for every shirt they sell with your tweets which is low considering they charge 20.00 and no graphics on the shirt.

finding the right followers not just in the right category but who can be an influence!
It is said that the more followers you have the merrier but since when does quantity substitute for quality? My guess is they work hand in hand. To get more quality followers use tweepsearch which searches a person's bio for certain words or use a site like tweet tags to find users with common interests using a tag cloud. Tag clouds are a group of tag words.
This way you will gain a mass of followers who are interested in what you have to sell. (See my blog below for more tips). Also use the two companies to keep an eye on your competitor. Better yet follow your competitors list of peeps and add them to your listings. If you want to follow your competitor anonymously, add your competitor to your list without following. Most likely the people you follow will follow you back. You can also subscribe to your competitor's RSS feeds to keep updated with what is going on in your industry. Word of advice: Follow the big twit gurus on twitter for staying on top of the game.
Remember this tip: The more followers you have the more possible it is to get your products seen by your followers and the more probable it is to get your products/services retweeted by them. The more retweets the better! Retweets works like word of mouth and can be viral which is one of the best form of advertising.

You must keep motivated. You must treat earning an income on twitter like any other business. I don't want to make earining an income on twitter sound like I am giving a motivational speech as clearly this is not what you are here for but it is not to be underlooked. Earning an income on twitter is about having the right mind set, posting tweets that are tweaked to your links in a crafty manner and not giving up or getting discouraged too easily. Try to keep your tweets fresh and interesting. I know it can be quite a challenge but remember the book called the secret? This book teaches that the law of attraction of positive thinking has such a phenomenal effect..think about thomas edison, he never gave up. Or bill gates for that matter. Get inspirational quotes and hang them up in your room or somewhere where you will be reminded and inspired about your goals everyday. And speaking of your goals don't forget to set one or some, as they can give you a sense of direction on how to go about effectively achieving what you want. Start with mini goals that add up to your main mother goal --> making a twitter income. Hope this helps
