I see a number of bloggers who are starting out with social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. I have been into Twitter before sponsored tweet opportunities had started out. Now I noticed an increase in the number of people who use Twitter to tap the potential of earning bucks from their Tweets.

In case you are not yet aware on what Twitter is all about, it is a site that allows anybody to answer the simple question: “What are you doing?”. However, I don’t use Twitter only to report what I am doing. I use Twitter to announce that I have a new blog post, share some news or ask help. This combination is the most effective way for me. The video below describes what Twitter is about.


Twitter in Plain English

Follow me on Twitter if you like. I have already gained some followers in this social network site.

Like blogging, there are some sites that offer opportunities to make money from Twittering away. Except for SocialSpark, I have not used all of these sites personally so I cannot guarantee success with these services.

  1. Be-a-Magpie: I think this is the most famous Twitter service where one can earn from sponsored Tweets. It sends out sponsored Tweets out to the web under one’s Twitter name at regular intervals, depending on the settings of the user. Be-a-Magpie makes sure that the sponsored Tweets match the non-sponsored Tweets that were already delivered. The minimum cashout from the site is L50 which is given through Paypal.
  2. TwittAd: TwittAd allows one to earn from one’s Twitter profile by posting ads on the background. The service uses Twitter API to push the advertisements into the profile background. Accumulate $30 for posting ads and one can get it right away in their Paypal accounts.
  3. SocialSpark: I am still writing for SocialSpark and one change that I noticed is the existence of CPC (cost per click) opportunities. These CPC opportunities can be posted in blogs, Twitter and Facebook where a SocialSpark blogger gets to earn a fraction of a dollar for each click.
  4. dNeero: I had always known dNeero to be a place where bloggers can get to engage themselves in the hottest discussions. Now, dNeero is now exploring social network sites. In Twitter, dNeero members have to follow dNeero account in Twitter and must give a valid reply to the conversation that are posted regularly in Twitter.
  5. TwitterHat: Even if there are no cash earnings from TwitterHat, I still include this one in the list because it still allows members to get gift cards and rewards. TwitterHat offers an alternative URL shortening service where a member earns points from clicks that are made by followers. Enough points can be exchanged for gift cards and other rewards. However, take note that TwitterHat rewards are suspended at this time.

Of course, we should not forget other known ways to make money from Twitter, such as promoting affiliate links. Don’t get too twitterpated with these ways of making money with Twitter: I also believe that like TV and blogs, too much advertising can do more harm than good.

Have you earned money already from these services?
