Making Money With Twitter is certainly possible. By now everyone is either on Twitter or has heard of it. Twitter is now number 596 on the most visited websites in the Alexa ratings. Twitter, founded by Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, began as a research and development project inside a San Francisco company Odeo in March 2006. It became Twitter Inc. in 2007

The Wall Street Journal has written, “These social-networking services elicit mixed feelings in the technology-savvy people who have been their early adopters. Fans say they are a good way to keep in touch with busy friends. But some users are starting to feel ‘too’ connected, as they grapple with check-in messages at odd hours, higher cellphone bills, and the need to tell acquaintances to stop announcing what they’re having for dinner.

That’s how I felt when I first heard about Twitter”. Do I really want to know what people are doing during their days and do I want people to know what I’m doing? Now that I’ve tried it, I’m hooked. Its like a blog and it gives you a chance to express yourself . Of course, like all online things I’m sure people will get bored of it after awhile, but the serious marketers will use it to try and make money. After all, this is America, and where there’s a will there’s a way to make money. I’m not talking about Twitter itself monetizing the site. I’m talking about the users making money off of it.

The most obvious way to earn money is by putting your affiliate link inside your posts. You don’t want to do this too much though because Twitter is not crazy about it , and people realize you are just trying to sell them things. Another way to make money on Twitter is to get a user name that will draw attention to a certain market. For instance, you could choose the user name Boston Red Sox. You would probably get a lot of people,watching your page ,who are interested in the Boston Red Sox. Then, you could try and sell them things related to baseball or the Red Sox specifically. Thosse are two methods, maybe you can think of others.
