How To Make Money With Twitter

I was using Twitter for a couple of years before I realized how powerful its features were in promoting my business. If you thought using Twitter was only for social networking, think again. People are starting to tap into the concept of making money with a Twitter website. I've discovered that you can make money with Twitter, but there are certain things you have to do in order to make a profit.

Of course, you must have a Twitter account in order to make money with Twitter. Signing up for a Twitter account is easy and it costs nothing! Once you get your Twitter site set up, you will want to start posting tweets to your site. Posting tweets will help you to get followers. When followers tweet posts to you, you should respond in kind. 

You do not need a huge following in order to make money with Twitter. It is much better to have hundreds of followers that have the same interests than to have thousands of followers that are not interested in cultivating a relationship with you on your Twitter site.

Don’t be too hasty in promoting your products or services in the very beginning.  It’s better to get to know your followers and to establish a solid relationship online first. Establishing trust is key when developing customer relationships online. Once you've established a trusted relationship, it will be much easier to make money with Twitter or with anything else that you promote online.

When you are ready to make money with Twitter, don’t blatantly promote your products or services. If you do, you may create the impression that you are trying to spam your visitors which should not be your intent. When sending out your tweets, don't mention your product to your followers every time. Instead, provide genuine and unique news or tips in your tweets to establish a connection with your visitors first. 

Once you have established that connection, these are some ways that you can make money with Twitter:

·        Product recommendation – Write a recommendation of a product that you truly believe in. Encourage visitors to check it out and take action.  My advice is to actually try out the product  yourself before you recommend it to anyone. Your visitors will be more inclined to purchase if they feel that you, the expert, are recommending the product.

·        Affiliate marketing – If you are recommending a product on behalf of someone else, you can place your affiliate link in your tweet post. 

·        Your product – You can promote your own product and sell it from your sales page. 

The above ideas are some ways that you can make money with Twitter.  The key here is not to be so bold in promoting every time you tweet. Your followers may be turned off if they believe that your main motive for being on Twitter is to sell your product.  Provide quality and meaningful content to your followers, establish trust with your visitors, and the sales will follow naturally.
