Below are some simple tips on how you could convert your followers into unknowing accomplices of your money making scheme.
1.Monetize your Twitter Background
Customizing your background is a great way of expressing yourself and personalizing your Twitter experience. But this too could be a wonderful media for advertising another company’s products or services. Magpie for example is an ad network for Twitter that pays you every time they advertise on your Twitter account.
2.Redirecting Followers
All it takes is a marketing tweet along with a link that serves as a doorway for your followers to visit your advertiser’s website. This is similar to Cost-Per-View campaigns where money is paid according to the times that a follower is redirected.
3.Affiliate Marketing
Very similar to the strategy above but this time you redirect them to your affiliate link. Again, a short tweet with your affiliate’s link is all that’s needed to make some money. Just be careful to make this tasteful. Placing your affiliate’s link on all your tweets could make a lot of your followers searching for the exit door.

4.Seek Advertisers
It’s certainly easier to find advertisers if you have a strong following. Advertise products you only feel strongly about. Focusing on low quality but high paying advertisers could be bad for your Twitter’s long term health. Stick to companies within your niche. It makes selling more natural and easier.
5.Building a Twitter Campaign
Companies might enlist your services to build their Twitter account. A proven track record of success can land you a job as a professional working for companies that would like to improve their online presence.
6.Selling Yourself
Take advantage of all the option available at Twitter. We’ve talked about how your simple background could be used as valuable advertising real estate. It would be a good idea to develop your profile page. Using your Bio for example and turning it to a sales page helps you advertise goods and services you offer.
7.Final Tweet
Everything is about selling, whether its blogging or tweeting for a profit, developing an effective marketing strategy is the key to success. Twitter is just one of the ways people could make money online. This alone may not give you the financial windfall you were looking for but combined with your other online marketing efforts it could contribute to your online success.
