9 Cool Ways to Make Money on Twitter

You can make money on Twitter if you’re able to consistently create quality content that users like. However, before you make money tweeting, you must first have a strong Twitter presence. If you then tweet regularly and consistently, using relevant hashtags, it becomes easier for users to discover your account. This helps to keep up the interest of your followers as you pop up on their Twitter feed. This is about the time you can tactically deploy some techniques to help you earn money on the platform.

Here are some 9 cool ways to monetize your Twitter account:

1. Sell Your Own Products/Services: If you have your own products/services to sell, Twitter is a great marketing platform for you. Make sure to create a Twitter account that reflects your type of business. This will be reflected in the username of your account. Using this name, you can promote your products offerings as a business owner and earn good income. For a strong online presence, you can participate in relevant threads, tweet trending industry news, and share your latest blog posts on a regular basis. This way, you can attract more online shoppers and build your following on Twitter.

2. Affiliate Products Promotion: You can tweet content with affiliate links to earn commissions as an affiliate marketer. Be sure to join a reputable affiliate program like Strong Future International, SFI.  Anytime anyone in your audience clicks on the link and makes a purchase, you receive a percentage of the sale as commission. To earn more money, you can consistently promote affiliate products through your tweets.

3. Sponsored Tweets: As a content creator, through your Twitter account, you can earn money by way of sponsored content. Many content creators on Twitter and other social media platforms make a considerable part of their income from sponsored content. You can thus locate and join online sponsored tweets networks to effectively position yourself to be part of where sponsored content is sold.
 
4. Use Ticketed Spaces: Ticketed Spaces is another viable way to monetize your Twitter account. These spaces instigate Twitter followers to come rushing to your content. Ticketed Spaces are essentially online events that you can charge money for. These spaces are a particularly useful feature for online education and learning events. People pay prescribed fees to access and participate in these valuable learning events.

5. Run a Twitter Contest: Another viable way to earn money on Twitter is through Twitter contests. If you have a Twitter account with good following, you can partner with and work with brands and businesses to run limited time promotions. Through these promotions, you can offer awesome deals to consumers. Based on your agreement with the promoters, you can earn a percentage of the profits when a Twitter user shops the deal.

6. Drive Traffic to Your Business Website: For any e-commerce business to thrive online, it takes good traffic to the website. If you have an e-commerce website, you can use your Twitter account to drive traffic to it. More traffic usually means more sales on the website. You can thus directly link or post your business website to your Twitter account. This way, you can generate good traffic by sharing relevant information and content to capture the attention of your target audience.

7. Build Email Lists: A responsive email list is a very valuable asset in digital marketing. This is more so when you have email marketing as part of your overall marketing strategy. When you want to embark on email campaigns, Twitter can be a very useful tool for the success of the campaigns. This is because you can easily use Twitter to encourage users to follow you and/or your brand and encourage them to sign up for email updates. Additionally, Twitter can be really useful for building email lists by participating in threads and using the platform actively. More successful email campaigns usually translate to more sales and consequently more revenues.

8. Create Paid Subscription Plans : Making money from paid subscription is hugely dependent on the size of your following on your Twitter account. That makes your follower count and engagement very essential to your marketing efforts. On Twitter, you can take marketing advantage of additional features made available for account owners with 10,000 followers and above. This class of Twitter users is really sought after mostly for paid subscriptions. They have access to unique features that allow the followers to engage with the account owners on a more personal level. There could be behind-the-scenes interactions and access to exclusive content. You can thus monetize your account this way by setting your fees by monthly subscription, for accessing an extra level of content and interaction on your Twitter account.

9. Offer a Tip Jar: It is possible for you to use your Twitter account to earn money directly from your customers through a Tip Jar. If you create a Tip Jar, your followers and fans can contribute directly to it as a thank-you for the great content you create and share. This way, you make money from users who show appreciation to you for the good content you are sharing which they really like.
