When you have obtained a decent size following there are many avenues available for you to start making money, most notable are twitter advertising networks. All that is involved in signing up for these advertising networks is submitting an online application and waiting a few days to get the approval from the network. The criteria for approval is generally the amount of followers you have on your account and the sometimes what part of the world they are from. It’s good to have a majority of the people on your account from English speaking parts of the world.

The payment range per tweet sent is usually somewhere around a few cents to a dollar each. The advertiser usually provides certain guidelines about the content of your tweet that you will need to follow in order to get paid; these usually include the tweet copy and obviously the product’s URL address.

key to be a successful twitter marketer is finding your niche. Once you find a good nice topic to talk about with your followers you can send multiple paid tweets a day on that topic. Just be sure not to come off as just another 140 character billboard. In addition to being paid for every promotional tweet you send to your followers some programs will even pay a commission for every lead that clicks on your tweets URL and purchases the product.
Home much money can you really make on Twitter?

Also sending out tweets and interacting with people is always a good way to kill some time when at your desk or on the road, you might as well get paid for it.
