Twittad is a way to monetize your Twitter background. Here, you are basically selling your profile background to advertisers. There are 2 ways to monetize your profile — either by posting your Twitter account for advertisers to find you or by searching for advertisers yourself.
Be A Magpie, you send out sponsored tweets. Many think of it as spamming your Twitter followers. I personally feel that as long as you are choosing (since you CAN pick and choose) tweets that cater to and are useful to your Twitter followers, then it’s doable. Most of their campaigns are on a pay-per-click system so no clicks from your followers = no money.
TweetROI Here’s another service where you send out sponsored tweets except with TweetROI you don’t need to get clicks from your followers to make money. Simply sending a tweet will make you money and you can even see up front how much you’ll get from that tweet. What’s even nicer is that TweetROI allows you to schedule tweets, so you don’t have to log in everyday and your Twitter stream won’t seem so obviously automated.
Tweetforbucks This is a URL shortener that allows you to make money by sharing links on Twitter. In order to make money on Tweetbucks you will need to enable the optional ad frame aka branding frame on your links. What’s nice about this “frame” is that you can add your own image URL for personal branding purposes. Whenever someone clicks on your link, they will see that image in the header of the window and you will make money.
RevTwt Very similar to Be A Magpie, RevTwt gives you links to post in your tweets and you make money when someone clicks on them. Just be careful because for a lot of the tweets, only clicks from people in certain countries will make you money. They also just recently added a URL shortening feature very similar to Tweetbuck. Shorten a link, share it, ads will be placed in the header and you make money.
TwitPub This is definitely an interesting concept, with TwitPub you can charge users to subscribe to your tweets. You will need to set your account to private and then TwitPub will automate the subscription process from there. You can set the price that you’d like to charge each subscriber and you get paid 80% of that. This, of course, will only work if you have tweets worth paying for.
