If you’ve been reading keepblogging dot net since it started, you probably know that if you want to make money blogging you need two things:
1) Traffic: You need traffic because you need people that gives your site a value on the market.

2) Diversification: What would you chose? One main income source that makes you $1K per month? Or ten income sources that makes $1K each per month? The answer is obvious

And this blog is concentrated on these two points, but mainly on the second point. You can check here for the ways to make money blogging posted on the blog so far (still a bit under construction), but today I’d like to write about how to make money blogging with your twitter account.

Make money blogging with twitter

What do you need to make money blogging using twitter?

1) A twitter account: If you don’t have a twitter account then you are living under a rock. Making a twitter account is easy and quick, so go to Twitter’s homepage and sign up right away.

2) Followers: You need followers to make money with twitter. There’s no secret formula to get millions of followers. So how to get followers? Just by promoting your twitter account just the way you would advertise your blog / site. Avoid the typical “ You follow me and I follow you”. Why? Because you need TARGETED audience, and people who follow you because you follow them won’t even care about your tweets, they will only want you to increase they twitter counter.

3) A blog: It’s interesting to have a twitter account that’s linked to your blog, because that’s where you’ll get your targeted audience. If your blog is about how to make money blogging, you know for sure that each and every follower is interested in ways to make money blogging, and probably about ways to make money online generally. That’s what you need to exploit.

How can you monetize your twitter account?

1) Sponsored tweets: You can use SponsoredTweets . What’s sponsored tweets?

“Sponsored Tweets is a new Twitter advertising platform that connects advertisers with tweeters. Advertisers can create sponsored conversations on Twitter. Tweeters can earn money for spreading the word.”

In other words, just like Google Adsense and Google Adwords. The big difference is that with twitter sponsor you’ll get paid just by making the tweet, no matter if there’s a click or an action from your followers.
There are a few conditions, like a particular amount of followers or twitter account’s age. You can check them on the sponsoredtweets site.

2) Affiliate programs: If you’ve follow a few rules about how to get twitter followers, you’ll have targeted audience. This is just great, because you will have potential customers ready to listen to your recommendations.

3) Links: You can charge a particular amount of money by adding a url on a tweet or even on your twitter design, on the background.

I’d recommend to try these options when having a solid followers group and a big amount, because otherwise you may lose them.
