Top 5 ways to make money on Twitter

Twitter is a micro-blogging platform where you can stay in touch with your friends, colleagues, top personalities, Gurus in any niche and of course your customers with your Tweets with your Tweets which can carry up to 140 words. But before thinking of making any money with Twitter, you need a big list of subscribers here on Twitter. And if you already don’t have thousands of subscribers sitting in your Twitter account, I would suggest you try Twitter Traffic Machine which is an automatic system to increase thousands of targeted followers in your Twitter account.
No doubt, Twitter is not a quick get rich scheme. Making money with Twitter is similar to making money with Blogging. Added benefit that we have with Twitter is that we don’t need to pay for hosting. All we need is an internet connection and patience to start making money with Twitter. In today’s post I am going to highlight top 5 ways any individual can use to make money online with their Twitter accounts:

Direct advertising: there may be some advertisers in your niche who are interested in advertising about their products if you have large number of subscribers on Twitter.
Hold contests: there are many advertisers who are willing to hold a contest using a popular Twitter account to reach their targeted audience and to get their feedback and thoughts about their products and services and to create some brand awareness.
Doing Paid Reviews: you can do paid review about a particular product you want to sell via Twitter. And if you are in the affiliate marketing niche, you can promote your affiliate products by sending promotion Tweets about the products you want to sell and don’t forget to include your affiliate link in your Tweet and shorten your affiliate link using TinyUrl.com. Suppose you generally tweet about money making ideas on your Twitter account, then you should promote affiliate products that talk about making money, seo, blogging and internet marketing niche.
Twitter Consulting: why don’t try making money with Twitter consulting where you offer to help individuals and companies to utilize Twitter at its best.
Affiliate product selling: You can link to any affiliate product in your Tweets and can even promote your own product with Twitter. And when you sell your created product, you will have all profit going in your pocket. Suppose one of your Twitter’s subscribers is asking about the best email marketing software, you should recommend him the best email marketing software like Aweber or Getresponse and can include your affiliate link in your reply. So if you already don’t have an affiliate account, apply for any of affiliate site like ClickBank, Amazon, LinkShare, Commission Junction or any affiliate site that has the product you are aiming to sell to your followers on Twitter. When you send your affiliate links to your readers on Twitter, some of them will click your links and there will be some people who will actually buy some product that you recommended. So it’s all about having big list of targeted followers and sending Tweets with your affiliate links when most of your subscribers are online. But don’t send only promotion Tweets to your readers otherwise they will feel you are spamming them with your affiliate links. So the best idea will be like including your affiliate link in every 10th or 15th Tweet that you send to your readers.

Some of the best selling products on eBay are electronics products such as digital cameras, laptop computers, iPod's, game consoles, and cell phones. But collectibles can also be very profitable for an eBay seller as well. Sometimes even regular household items will make a seller a surprisingly high amount of money.

Freelance work does require that you have certain skills that people will be willing to pay you to do for them. This is usually things like article writing, copywriting, programming, web design and graphic design.

There are several websites available for finding freelance work, including elance.com, guru.com, and getafreelancer.com. These sites specialize in bringing together freelancers and people looking to hire freelancers. The people who already have successful internet businesses know the value of their time and they employ freelancers to do the legwork so they can do what they do best, which is usually marketing and networking.

3) Selling content. This is becoming a popular way to make money online. All you need to do is research topics (niches) that people are interested in and write articles on them. You can also write reports and ebooks on the topics. Then you sell the content to people that will use it on their sites or resell it as if they had written it.

You can sell your content as a ghost written product for as much as $10.00 per page or more. You can also sell it for a lower fixed price to a limited number of people and offer Private Label Rights (PLR). That just means the buyer can make changes to the content, put their own name on it and call it their own, or just about anything else they want.

There are few great sites where you can find buyers for your content. They are the Warrior Forum, Digitalpoint Forums, and Sitepoint Marketplace. These are all places where the internet marketers and webmasters hang out and they are the ones most likely to buy your content.

The internet has opened doors that in the past were often closed to people who wanted to start their own businesses. There are multiple ways to make money online so find something that is a good fit for you and go with it.

How to Make $250 for Free by Flipping a Website

There are a lot of people getting into buying and selling websites these days because site flipping is such a hot topic right now and a great way to make money online. Sometimes there are people who are trying to sell a website or blog and for whatever reason they need or want someone else to do it for them.
There are many reasons why a person would need help selling their website or blog…
- Maybe they aren’t very good at writing up an auction that will sell, or they have never done it before so they don’t even know where to start.
- They might need money really bad and must sell their site now but they are new to site flipping and haven’t built up a reputation yet, so they want help from someone who has.
- It could also be that they simply don’t have time and are willing to pay someone a percentage to just do it for them.
…Or maybe they have another reason for needing help with their site flip.
Whatever the reason is, you can step in and sell it for them for some very easy money!
I recently sold a website for an online business acquaintance of mine because he needed the money fast and thought that I could sell it much faster than he could and get more money for it. He agreed to pay me 10% of whatever the site sold for. I calculated the value of the site being around $2500 so that’s what we decided to set the Buy It Now (BIN) at. Within two days we got a BIN bid and the site was sold.
The site owner handled the domain transfer, site transfer, answered all the questions, and everything else. He even paid the Sitepoint fees for listing the auction. All I did was write up the auction listing and sell the site. Although I did offer to handle the transferring of the domain and site files and would have done it, but he did it himself instead.
He sent me the $250 and it was done. That was about the easiest money I’ve ever made! And it was completely free money other than the hour or so I spent writing and listing the auction.
Flipping websites is a fairly easy way to make money online itself but this was even easier because I didn’t have to buy or build the site, or do much else.
There are plenty of people out there just waiting for someone like you to help them with their site flip or blog flip. Go make some easy money
