SponsoredTweets.com - Advertising On Twitter

There are Twitter apps and services that are unwarranted, or rather, they merited a certain development and no more. The prototypical case: URL shorteners. A different case, and one which is starting to be headed the same way as URL shorteners: the apps for managing your followers. These have begun repeating themselves to the point that every new one does the same thing than the previous ones. On the other hand, there are some services that have a legitimate reason for their existence, and a site like this one is a good example. Basically, Sponsored Tweets is a marketing platform which lets advertisers sponsor conversations on Twitter. Twitterers post updates as usual, but they actually generate an income by doing so as the tweet becomes an ad-enhanced entity.

In order to start using this application you need to furnish your Twitter credentials. Upon doing so an account is created for you to start building bonds with willing advertisers. Users can set the prices for each tweet manually, although a recommended price is always provided. The payments are processed electronically.

Finally, something which merits a mention is that non-profits can raise awareness using this platform - they can sign up for a program whereby the entire network learns about the cause they champion.

“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.”

Making money out of Twitter is appealing to everybody – after all, it is a buying public that spans the whole world.

What is the maximum price you can set for a tweet? Does anybody monitor that?
