How To Make Money From Twitter?

Twitter is a double-edged sword… You can use Twitter to kill time by arguing with people you don't know, or you can use it more healthily and efficiently.

In addition to all this, Twitter is a highly overlooked channel for monetization. In other words, when people think of sales and marketing, they directly think of Instagram or Facebook, but it is also possible to make money from Twitter.

Twitter is a social media network with more than 300 million users operating since 2006. Many Twitter users are also businesses. These businesses use Twitter to follow their customers and tell them about their brands and campaigns.

If you have a twitter account and a large following, you can earn a lot of money from Twitter. If you spend 1 or 2 hours a day for your twitter account and take the right steps, you can start earning money after 2-3 months on average.

Today in this article, we tell you the ways to make money on Twitter.

Ways to Make Money from Twitter

1. Do Shadow Writing

This is also called ghostwriting. You can tweet on behalf of another person or brand.

In other words, you can increase the awareness of this person / brand by tweeting on behalf of people or institutions that want to gain prestige on Twitter.

It is imperative that you know the person or brand that requested this job from you very well, and that you should send tweets that people might like. So it is very important to have strong language skills.

That's why you need to ask your customer the following questions:

• What is your purpose of being on Twitter?

• Who do you know?

• Who do you want to meet?

• What are the features that set you apart?

• Which Twitter accounts do you want to interact with?

• What are your most frequently asked questions?

2. Affiliate With Affiliate

Affiliates marketing is the best way to make money on Twitter.

Here are some tips for affiliate marketing on Twitter:

Post a tweet with high engagement. When you reach a certain engagement rate, post the second tweet and share an affiliate link in this tweet.

Thus, under a tweet seen by thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people, your link will appear. In this link, the product of the brand you are a sales partner is also included. When people click on this link and buy something from that site (most of the time, it is not necessary for them to buy the product on the link you shared), you will earn a commission from this sale.

3. Create an Email List

One of the best platforms for building an email list is Twitter.

For example, direct people to your website after you tweet. Have people leave their email address on your website to learn more about the topic mentioned in the Twit.

Thus, while selling a product or service, you have the opportunity to reach thousands of potential customers with one click.

In this way, you can both make sales and generate Google ad revenue by attracting regular traffic to your own website.

4. Promote Your Business

Thanks to social media platforms, you can reach millions of people for free.

You can apply the same to your own business by paying attention to how successful influencers share their work and content.

Produce quality and interesting content. Join industry talks at Spaces. Engage with potential leads who might be interested in your business.

5. Post a Sponsored Tweet

The majority of people who make money on Twitter do so by posting sponsored content.

Of course, the money you earn will increase in parallel with the number of followers and the interaction you receive. If you have 1 million followers, it is possible to earn tens of thousands of lira from even a single ad tweet. (Even if you have 1000 followers, you can earn money if you find a brand that is willing to advertise to you.)

The company that advertises you will look at the average click-through, likes and conversion rates of your tweets. Don't forget that either. And of course avoid buying bot followers as much as possible. There is nothing that cools a brand as much as a bot follower in the field of social media and phenomenon marketing.

6. Open Limited Access Spaces

Thanks to the Spaces feature, which became active in November 2020, people can chat aloud on Twitter. Spaces, which received serious attention in a short time, also has a limited access version.

When you open limited access Spaces, people have to pay between $1 and $1,000 to join the conversation.

It is possible to take advantage of this feature, especially if you have a special expertise and intend to provide premium information to your followers on this subject.

7. Sell Your Own Products

E-commerce, of course. You can use Twitter very effectively to sell your own products and services.

You can earn money from this business by hearing about the book you have written, the physical products you have prepared and/or the services you offer to your followers on Twitter.

First choose the platform on which you will sell. Etsy, Hepsiburada, Amazon, Wardrobe, Letgo etc.

Post useful information about the product or service in question on Twitter. Introduce the product-service, show what problems it can solve.

And of course, paste your link under the flood you shared.

Twitter is a very good platform for product sales and customer acquisition, because you can communicate directly with people verbally. It has a more human and warm side.

What You Need To Do To Make Money From Twitter

If you're serious about making money on Twitter, you need to be active on Twitter. You need to have a quality audience and you need to have a reputation in the eyes of this audience.

How to gain trust and reputation?

1. Have a Professional Profile

Image is everything. If you want to be taken seriously and make money, you need to paint a professional image.

For this reason, on Twitter;

Have a quality profile photo. 

Have your website address in your profile. 

Use the 160 characters in your bio accurately and effectively. You can provide a few words of information about your name, surname, profession or job, the school you graduated from and the service you provide. 

Make sure your username is catchy and short if possible. (Nobody cares about a username like @ali786786.) 

Make sure your background photo is clean and professional as well. (You can also use the background to advertise a product or service. You can make good background images from sites like Canva.) 

You can also mark the city you are in, in your bio. (Like Gujrat, Pakistan…)

2. Produce Quality and Useful Content

This is most important thing but this is hardest.

You can produce great content, and a tweet may even get 2 million likes, but that may come and go. The secret to lasting success on Twitter is to post at least a few tweets every day. 

If you want to gain a solid audience, you need to add value to their lives. For this, it is necessary to produce quality content on a regular basis.

3. Interact with Your Followers

You can interact with your followers and other people via direct messages, comments, likes, retweets, and retweets with comments.

The level of relationship you establish with people is very important for them to trust you.

Building trust is also a slow thing. However, a well-built trust is not easily broken. Twitter has serious monetization potential, and trust building is a key issue for that.

Conclusion

Yes, it is possible to earn good money from Twitter. We have listed various ways of doing this at the beginning of our article, item by item.

If you want to make money on Twitter, you must have a clear purpose and a clear action plan for that purpose.

Here are the must-haves in this action plan:

Add value to people's lives. It could be humor, it could be information, it could be hints. 

Be authentic. Do not be a wannabe of other accounts. 

Mention with your followers and other people. Be active on Twitter. 

And produce content regularly. If you only use Twitter for reading, you're less likely to make money.
