For 140 characters or less, some Twitter users are making $6,000-plus per sponsored tweet. This is because marketing firm IZEA has launched “Sponsored Tweets,” a network connecting advertisers with Twitter users who want to use their social networking status to make money.

Company CEO Ted Murphy has been quoted as saying,”If you look at the amount of self-promotion, company promotion and advertising promotion that is going on Twitter, it’s ridiculous. The only thing that we are trying to do is make it more … measurable for the advertisers, and enforce disclosure in a uniform manner.”

To take part in the service, it’s as simple as signing up with your Twitter account and being matched with advertisers that want to pay for tweets. Obviously, the more ‘followers’ you have on Twitter, the more you will be paid. This is especially handy for ‘web-celebs’ and celebrity clients who typically have extraordinary numbers of followers.

It is as easy as 1-2-3. After choosing bids to accept, the most you will ever have to do is write the tweet, though often the advertisers mandate them to begin with. The flexibility of Sponsored Tweets is actually really impressive, as you can define your charge per tweet, charge per click (conversion), set your content rating (not all tweets are PG), define your ad unit preferences, add keywords, and set up notification settings. There is such a thing as easy money!

The power of networking on Twitter is huge. Twitter is not so much about connecting with your friends, it’s about broadcasting information. Although it doesn’t necessarily take much creativity to create a tweet, only the most creative users actually persist in tweeting every day over a longer time period.

While Facebook is the be-and-and-end-all of social networking, Twitter doesn’t need to feel the pressure in any way. After all, you don’t ‘friend’ people on Twitter, you ‘follow’ them. It’s not social, it’s business. The pure power of networking is presented to us in the three main features of Twitter; retweets, @ replies, and trending topics/hashtags.

Retweeting (RT) is a two-second way of networking aka kissing ass. Find something funny, moving, or just want to tell someone “Hey! I follow you!”? Retweet them. By doing next-to-nothing, you are now on their radar.

@ Replies are basically the next step up from retweeting. In my opinion, this is the best way to network. By asking someone a question or offering your two cents their tweet of the moment, you can almost guarantee you will get a response. Remember, all relationships start small and you will at least get a profile view. (Tip: it is a great idea to plug something they would be interested in a few seconds after an @ reply.)

Finally, trending topics. This is a Twitter newbie’s dream. By offering an opinion on a ‘trending topic’ in 140 characters or less, your profile is opened up to a huge community of people you may not be aware of, yet are essentially your target audience. Those hashtags are key.

So you’ve heard the big news then? Twitter is getting ready to roll out it’s brand new ad platform. This sounds like it should be fantastic news for us marketers on Twitter. Finally a self-serve platform that allows us to tap in to the rapidly growing Twittersphere. So why are we not excited?

The reality is that Twitter’s new ad platform is likely to fail, and those that do succeed will almost certainly be in the business of brand exposure rather than any kind of traffic arbitrage ROI. That sounds alright for some. But for most of us, this long awaited announcement is a huge disappointment. It looks as if third party tools such as Tweet Adder will remain the marketer’s choice for making money on Twitter. And here’s why.

The entire Twitter ad platform is to be based on keyword search terms.

“As we previously described, the new system serves up ads based on keywords in Twitter search queries.”

Sounds pretty sensible. If a user is searching for coffee (for whatever reason), maybe Starbucks can get away with promoting their new beverage. But what kind of percentage of Twitter users actively use search?

My own tweeting habits involve perusing through the updates of my friends, coming up with the odd smart arse status, and every once in a while checking the trending topics tab on the right. I rarely, if ever, bother to use Twitter search. And yet this is how the ads are to be displayed. You’re looking at only a tiny percentage of Twitter’s relative traffic actually being exposed to ads. It’s hardly a new dawn.

You can achieve the same results by automating a fake Twitter account with the help of Tweet Adder and bumping your message to the top of search lists. Considering that costs $0, why would you want to pay a ridiculously high CPM on Twitter’s self-serve ads platform?

The second, and perhaps more worrying, topic covered in the announcement raises up the dirty issue of a performance based quality score.

“A Promoted Tweet isn’t guaranteed to stay afloat for a long time — if the tweet isn’t tracking well in terms of replies, clicks, and a number of other metrics Twitter is calling “resonance”, it will be pulled, and the advertiser won’t pay for it.”

I just don’t quite understand the logic behind this. If an advertiser is paying by CPM, the performance shouldn’t matter. The last thing we want to be worrying about is some magic algorithm to determine how many clicks, replies and retweets we need to be receiving to keep our advertising campaign alive.

If an advertiser is paying by the click…fine. A quality score is necessary. But on a CPM basis, why Twitter would want to complicate a simple equation is beyond me. Particularly considering the advertisers likely to be using the service fall in to the “spreading brand awareness” target directive.

So as you can see, the Twitter Ad Platform is by no means the finished article. Only time will tell to see whether it makes these predictions look stupid. But for now, you’re probably better off sticking to your Tweet Adder.

Sponsored Tweets is a new and rapidly developing advertising platform, connecting advertisers with tweeters who they can use to relay their message to thousands of potential customers.

The concept is pretty simple, and yet highly effective. The best part is that practically anybody can join, either as the tweeter or the advertiser.

Twitter has well and truly boomed in recent times, and it’s becoming even more of a centerpiece to modern media. Messages can go viral in minutes, and Internet sensations can be born overnight. Ever hear about shitmydadsays? It’s the story of a son tweeting his father’s quips and rants.

A simple novel concept, with the power of viral marketing, has now given that particular tweeter a book deal and a Hollywood TV show. A little tweeting can go a long way, right?

The idea of Sponsored Tweets is that an advertiser can easily tap in to your targeted list of followers to relay a message. You can make money just by opening up your Twitter account to the occasional sponsored tweet. All sponsored tweets are marked with disclosure, as required by FTC laws. So you don’t have to worry about the suits tracking you down looking for explanations of an endorsement!

As long as you have more than 50 followers, and an account older than a month, you’re welcome to join the Sponsored Tweets platform. Advertisers will be able to comb through your profile. You can either set a default bid price for a sponsored tweet, or let advertisers contact you with their own offers.

I took one of my test accounts, assembled painstakingly with the help of Tweet Adder over just 9 days. I only had 750 followers, yet I had four advertisers messaging me within 48 hours willing to pay for set bid price of $25 to relay a tweet.

Just imagine if you took the time to develop ten highly targeted accounts with the help of Tweet Adder? Earn $50/week from Sponsored Tweets on each account and suddenly you’re earning $2000/month merely by allowing an advertiser to relay a message through your Twitter accounts.

It’s easy money!

The power of Twitter in the mainstream media is growing rapidly. It seems that every celebrity is rushing to get a Twitter account and we’re beginning to enter a new realm where news breaks first on Twitter, then follows around the rest of the web.

What does that mean for small business? It means the game is about to change, if it hasn’t already changed forever. By simply leveraging the power of a popular Twitter account, you can deliver the kind of exposure to your business that simply wouldn’t have been possible as little as two years ago.

Tweet Spinner is growing in popularity as a tool for boosting your marketing efforts on Twitter.

Now while we’d all love to have bustling Twitter accounts with thousands of followers and hundreds of potential leads being delivered to our websites every day – it’s not always fun to get in to that position. Establishing a popular Twitter account requires the struggle of remaining proactive, keeping an eye on the social web and participating. Yes, participating.

If we had to indulge in Twitter time wasting for more than 5 minutes every day, we’d probably have no business left to promote by the end of 2010! So a tool like Tweet Spinner is an absolute must.

Simply put, it automates everything. You can use Tweet Spinner to communicate with the millions of users on Twitter. It can be used to find new followers by automating the process of tracking users for keywords that would associate them with your line of work. Running a dating agency in London? Why not track users tweeting with the keywords “London”, “single” and “weekend”? By using Tweet Spinner, you can pre-program your Twitter account to interact with these users. By getting them to follow you – and it’s remarkably easy – you then have their attention whenever you decide to drop tweets about your own business.

In effect, it’s like building a giant email opt-in list and then broadcasting to it as regularly as you want in a way that the social media web deems perfectly acceptable. Companies are seeing a boom in business from Tweet Spinner alone, a simple app that allows you to automate every last part of maintaining an active Twitter account. There are other tools out there, but at just $20, Tweet Spinner is far and away the best value – certainly in the eyes of most that have used it.

Don’t take our word for it though! Help yourself to a 100% free trial. Head on over to download Tweet Spinner, and see for yourself the power of social media in 2010.
