How to use Twitter to make money?

I have only been using Twitter a short time in comparison to most and I have seen lots of people selling items and selling ideas using Twitter but I would like to know if there are any safe and sane ways of Using Twitter to Make Money? A good rundown on How to Make Money Using Twitter would be nice to learn more about.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There are a lots of ways to use twitter to make money, but I use these adservice sites to monetize my twitter account.
1. be-a-magpie.com
2. Ad.ly
3. Twittad.com
4. Revtwt.com
5. adCause.com
6. sponsoredtweets.com( although still waiting for this site)

These companies insert ads into your twitter page(with your permission of course) and some pay you when somebody clicks on their ads that is on you page or if someone signs up through your twitter page. Magpie pays per view depending on the ads that was sent to your page. Not all of them pay per view, some pay when they are sure you have their ads on your page.

Make sure you have at least 100 followers , so that advertisers would be interested in your twitter account.

This mahalo page by cynthiag,titled:How to Make Money Using Twitter, is a good place to start. Hope it helps

You can make money with Twitter through Sponsored Tweets. Sponsored Tweets helps advertisers and tweeters connect. An advertiser decides they want you to do a tweet for them advertising their business and you either accept or reject. If you accept the job, you have three days to tweet the advertisement for them. They will pay you what you have on your profile. It will start out a dollar something and then it goes up as you keep doing the tweets.

You have to have at least 100 followers and your twitter account must be at least 60 days old with at least 100 status updates in order to be eligible to sign up with Sponsored Tweets. Here is the link if you are interested. http://bit.ly/2wqTD4

As a long standing Twitter user, I can tell you that nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will lose you followers faster than sponsored tweets. Serious tweeters hate spam.

I not only unfollow folks if they start sponsored tweets, I look to see who my followers are, and I block them if they're selling stuff through twitter.

The comments here currently talk about making money directly with Twitter, but I use Twitter as an indirect money making tool. I create content for a variety of sites, and whenever I create something new, like a new how-to here on Mahalo, I tweet a link to that item. I'm embarrassed to say I actually have 4 twitter profiles, each for a different audience. Two are for my own company, and two are for specific niches. I use Hoot Suite to manage my Twitter profiles.

For example, one of my interest groups has to do with scrapbooking. I post links to articles and how-tos that I write about scrapbooking topics, as well as links to events and interesting articles by others.

The best way to make money with Twitter is to actually become part of the community. The most successful Twitter entrepreneurs actually go on and talk to people, get to know them, answer questions. I actually used Twitter way before it was the coolest thing online, and have built some nice relationships there over the last few years. By building rapport and trust with them by giving them valid information for almost two years, when I start selling products, they are going to be more likely to buy from me.

Twitter success does not come overnight. Be ready to work for it, just like you have to work for anything worth having. The money comes after you are accepted as part of the community.

Here are a couple of articles that might help you:

Here is a simple way to make money using twitter, without having to sell your soul. I actually did this and have made money using twitter.

Let's say you have a skill... building web sites or programming or something else.
1. Search twitter for 'help with ' and whatever your skill is, or 'looking for ' and your skill. You can use Hootsuite to do some pretty cool boolean searches.
2. Contact those people and offer a good old fashioned exchange of services for money. (first contact via @ reply, then DM or email if they follow you)
4. Profit!

It helps if you can accept payment via paypal, since almost everyone uses it.

Like anything, be prepared for rejection... many of the people you contact will be looking for something for free, but some of them will be willing to pay.

well there are a few websites where you can link you twitter account with ,once you link your twitter account to these website accounts they will publish ads on your twitter account and whenever someone click or viewed it you get paid for it...these are the websites that you can link your twitter account to them and earn..http://www.revtweet.com/, http://sponsoredtweets.com/, http://mylikes.com/.but these websites also have requirements you need to pass before you can earn with them or before they can publish ads to your twitter account...like for instance with revtweet you need to have 100 followers,as for sponsoredtweets you account need to be at lease 6 months.in regards to mylikes you need to have i think 100 followers and then you can start a campaign....by reviewing stuff like what you like about the product and inviting your friends to join which will help you to make more money.those websites i mention above will require you to have 100 followers,so if you don't have 100 followers here's a site you can sign up with and get followers http://twitterfollower.com/. with this site once a follower follows you...you have to follow them back vise versa because it's apart of the agreement.good luck in making money with twitter.
