In this article, I am going to show you how to earn money via Twitter and how to properly use this popular social networking service.

Steps

1. Use Twitter to promote yourself. Twitter is really a great platform where you choose who to follow and contact with easily. Through it you can promote your skills, make important contacts and even find a job.
2. Using Twitter for your website. Just like any other online social network, Twitter is not used only to share your thoughts or ideas. It is also used to share photos and links. You can use this service to promote your business or product website and gain a few successful sales and visitors.
3. Sell your tweets. Yes, there are some good and popular services that would pay you for an ad tweet they give you. This is only useful if you have a lot of followers. Services like SponsoredTweets and BuySellAds are recommended for this purpose.
4. Use your affiliate links. By using companies like ClickBank or CJ, you can link to affiliated products on your Twitter wall. Depending on your follower relevancy and your affiliated product you can make a good money through this method.
5. Sell your services via Twitter. If you have skills in web design, web development, SEO, programming and similar stuff, you can actually use Twitter to generate more sales of your services from your loyal followers and subscribers.

Tips

• Do not use services that get you random Twitter followers. These followers are not useful for you in 99.9% of cases.
