Twitter is a microblog after all, so monetizing it should be an obvious extension. Unfortunately, up until this point it has been tough to monetize your tweets. Thanks to 4 great services, you can monetize your tweets while you sleep.

SponsoredTweets

Like anything, the more followers you have, the more money you make. Shoemoney.com which you can find at @shoemoney makes $470 per tweet, and he has 86,488 followers, so if you do the math, he’s making $.005 per follower. So you can do the math on your own followers and see how much cash you could be making, but for me, $470 for a single tweet is probably the easiest money every made.

To see how much you can make, signup for SponsoredTweets.

Magpie

The great thing about Magpie is that you don’t have to actively seek our ads. Their system pays you on a monthly basis based on the amount of tweets you send out. So this month I’m scheduled to make $16, which isn’t huge money, but it’s $192 per year, and is only one slice of a larger pie. If I’m picking up $20 from SponsoredTweets as well, the revenue really starts to add up.

Twittad

Twittad is another network similar to SponsoredTweets where advertisers select you for running ads, but the difference is, with Twittad you can opt-in for specific campaigns to earn extra cash.

This is one of the growing networks and one I definitely suggest you signup with, just to have your account in the system for when the big opportunities start rolling in.

Ad.ly

Ad.ly has made the most noise in the Twitter advertising space, and is definitely the most polished platform out there. They have a great option that lets you donate your proceeds to charity (for those of us with a kind heart), as well as they have the best dashboard for controlling how many, how often your tweets are and how much you get paid!

Definitely recommend being a part of their network, and like all the others, you approve all ads before they are released which is perfect for keeping those “acai berry” offers off your Twitter account.
