Since I last talked about making money with twitter a couple weeks back I have completed 7 “sponsored tweets” on sponsoredtweets.com for just less than $2,000.00…. not exactly enough to quit my day job but worth it none the less.
Listen up advertisers. When you are buying tweets on sponsored tweets let the tweeter write the ad for you. I can tell you right now the ones that I write versus the canned ones you try to write get 3-4x more clicks.
This is because I know my audience and they know me…. and they know when its not me and that converts like ass.
Also you still get final approval/rejection before it goes out. So why not let the person write the tweet for the most conversions?

Wow, less than $2000 on 7 Tweets. Great job, congratulations!
Great accomplishment and point Jeremy! thanks for sharing.
I’m still not a big fan of twitter sponsored tweet, however thanks for the post
Good points Shoe!
You got $2000 because you have very good and respected number of followers but I do not think that other people are also effective as you are so they wont able to get even $1000
Yes this is very nice concept but before sending tweets I think approval from advertisers will be also good … so that both party can have clear idea.
yes i agree with your thoughts Zubin. I will not even get $10 ..lol
Jeremy also invested huge amount of time and distributing free prizes with contest to gain such number of followers. He have now 80K + followers.
Wow, I only got one offer until now.
And of course I agree with you about the points you made.
you get one that is good, until now i don’t get it, hmmmm how much fallower need for get for this job
Yup Denise, i have a question same like that, any body can you tell us ?? i am just newbie, Thank’s
I get friend here Thank’s, Pleaseeee…. Help ….
Teach me, will you, Mr. Jeremy? Please? I need to fight with my conscience. Teach me how to follow my interest. Takecare and thankyou, very much.
The ROI must be terrible for sponsored tweets. Curious clicks do not convert, and that’s all you’re going to get.
Intention is everything, that’s why search clicks are so valuable.
Andrew makes a good point if the clicks are coming from people in your stream and they are ONLY curious, and not actually digging in to investigate and possibly be won over. But there are more people that use twitter search to find information.
If they do a search, find something that fits the bill, then do some research and build their trust in shoemoney as the tweeter, that could be powerful.
That last model I mentioned is of course a bit complex.
Many a times it happens that when some one from your circle comes on the website out of curiosity and likes the website, there are definite chances that he will pass that to people he knows. So indirectly there also you are getting benefited.
They should probably have a ‘celebrity’ service that does stuff for people like Shoe or Aston or whomever you like to add in that category.
I would be interested in their algy. I have 18K followers and get paid $28/tweet. Shoe has 81K and gets $300(ish). But it’s almost impossible to go from 18K to 81K so there doesn’t seem to be that much premium.
-OT
I have only had the opportunity to do 4 tweets for a total of $55.50. I am pretty excited about that, but haven’t seen a new opportunity in about 2 weeks…
I just can’t beleive companies pay this sort of money
Crazy new phenomenon.
I haven’t even embraced twitter yet! Don’t follow the sheep is my moto. But then i think i’m too old for my time
Technology moves at such a fast pace, perhaps i should be jumping on every bandwagon?
If you have 82K followers than your single tweet can give exposure to anyone’s product and after that such tweets will retweet as well.
So you can imagine the effect of that.
82k followers ……Sounds Huge task buddy
Thats the number of Jeremy twitter followers chris …
That amazing. i wonder how long that he can get that much follower ?
thanks for sharing!
I can’t believe someone buying your “sponsored tweet services” would think they know how to message better than you.
I don’t think it is a question on weather they can message better than him, I think they want to reach him Loyal Fan Base.
Great money Shoe! I won’t top that with my 45 followers i guess
Shoe $2k is really is really cool one i guess …i’s good for me to quit my day time job ..lol
YUp i a gree with you chris 2K is much for me, hmmmm when i get that much
This simply depends in which country you live and what is your standard of living.
In many countries whole family living on $100 per month.
You get paid weather it converts or not? Nice of you to care about the advertiser.
I don’t think that he doesn’t care about the advertiser, yet I think if they want someone with a strong fan base and notoriety then they will have to pay for it. As Shoe stated earlier “Sure on paper it might seem like a lot but I keep getting offers from the same companies so they must be making it work.”
So i don’t think it is because of that.
This advice rings true for most advertising/advertorial – you should usually be prepared to trust the media owner who has spent years analysing and building up a sense of feeling for their own audience. 1) They won’t want your ad/message to flop and 2) They will be able to tap in to something that is worth more than money, knowledge of what makes their own audience tick. Amazes me how many advertisers get precious about controlling the copy/message when someone is actually giving them the opportunity to tailor something for them. These advertisers are usually the first to complain when their ad flops and will blame the media owner rather than their own copy.
I agree with your saying totally.
Yup I agree With you and thank’s for advice that is great
That’s is good points shoe, Thank’s
wow almost 2000$????
Sweet deal Shoe and a big fat NO KIDDING on the tweeter writing the ads. What kind of numbskulls are running these advertising departments?
Very good point! If it looks like an ad, people are less likely to click on it. Too bad no one wants to offer me any sponsored tweets!
Erika
If you have more followers on Twitter i am sure you will get many offers ..haha
I’m working on it!! I signed up for twitterfollower.com
All the best
Erika
Why, spank you.
What is twitterfollower.com and how it’s work ?
http://www.twitterfollower.com is John Chow’s new business venture. You sign up on the website, and just start following people who promise to follow you back & vice versa. If someone doesn’t hold their end of the deal, there is a mass unfollow feature that allows you to unfollow anyone who is not following you. I wouldn’t have near as many followers as I do now without it, & I only just signed up 2 days ago.
I’m not that familiar with sponsored tweets. I’ll have to do a little research
great job … whatever you touch makes $$$$$$’s … wonder how much they will offer my auto tweets service??
I think depending how much that your fallower
I am going to sign up for this TONIGHT! Thanks for the info
YUp i agree with you i will signup quickly
YUP, let’ GO
Yeah I really don’t understand how sponsoredtweets advertisers can be happy about their ROI.
Sure on paper it might seem like a lot but I keep getting offers from the same companies so they must be making it work.
This will be also better if they want to spread a message about their new products without intending to get conversion.
This can be first stage of their marketing and after this they will concentrate on conversion.
I totally agree, we are working on some other things that will totally help both advertisers and twitter’s. You should check us out, we’d love to have you aboard.
Not bad. I’m thinking about doing that.
Is really great shoe, you can get $2000 an 7 tweets. Amazing
Nice earnings there Shoe! I never know that there’s this thing as Sponsored Tweets. I guess it will only apply if you already have a lot of followers?
That’s very much correct Tyrone. You got to have atleast 3k followers in order to jump in to this
my friend.
Actually Chris you only need 200, you just might not get paid much to do the tweet. Also take into consideration many different t hings such as the location and fan base to name a couple. A guy may not have a ton of followers but the ones he may have are solid and no BS. On the other hand one could have a bunch of meaningless followers that are not solid. Who do you ask to tweet.?
Valid point made. It is all the more important to have good and meaningful followers than dummy and activity-less followers. It is only then that such paid ads will make sense.
But another point worth considering is the way your profile will be evaluated by these companies. They will only evaluate your profile on the number of followers that you have, right.
Only 200 will get you few cents ..lol
I already have 900 fallower, but i am never get job. what must i do to get a job from sponsored tweets
People sell sponsored tweets?
What do you mean by sell sponsored tweets? is like i sell my tweet
I have question like you Cast, what is sell sponsored tweets ? anyone can answer that ?
Sponsoredtweets is a scam, scamming stupid people out of their money!
And the stupid advertisers deserve it if they are dumb enough to dump money on this load of shit!!
On the other hand, congrats shoe, acquire all the money while u can
wow.. $285 is your CPT..
This will only work if you have more than 50k followers. For those who has less than that, I don’t think its worth it.
Getting big quantities of followers is apparently not a big issue with some of the twitter offerings out there. It would make good sense to build big lists and then rent out your space. You’ll have to add some good value inbetween too, if you want significant buy-in.
totally wrong…. its way more about responsiveness. anyone can have 50,000 bots
Very truly said Shoe
So how many bots do you have Jeremy ?
I am sure there are …
Where i can get the bots ?
What is the bots, and how it work ?
Oh come on guys.. are you serious about getting this bots?
Get real followers, that’s the way to go.
Filtering out the bots seems to be the key here. Responsiveness is a good term to describe what having real followers offer. Well put, Shoe.
I read a few topics. I respect your work and added blog to favorites.
At $2000 for 7 sponsored tweets we’re looking at close to $300 per sponsored tweet. It definitely adds value to have the well-paid expert word your tweet for you, especially as tyhis gets offeredc as a free value-add.
That is great money, it can add up very quickly and I agree the wording is very important on the tweet
Effective baiting of the trap is the key here. Just like in fishing….but not fishing with dynamite….heheheheh
That is the best tip for sponsored tweeters there. It saves the advertisers time and converts too.
You are right. It no doubt will save a lot of time for the advertisers. In addition to that, you get better results on the offers you have opted for.Less of headache and more of outcome.
the main thing here is not to make the sponsored tweet like a big advertisement
As a Twitter marketer, that’s a really cool approach. Thanks my man!
Your name is really interesting and would love to see what you are offering in your blog or website.
That is my one huge gripe with sponsored posts.
I suspect that some of the advertisers write their anchor text blindfolded at times!
interesting post. thanks for sharing…
$2000 for only 7 tweets is a huge amount. Is it that they offer you such high payouts because you have a huge count of followers or, it is because of your credibility.
Yes i agree with your saying Kumar
I think here both play equal important role. But first one is the number of followers … and after that your credibility.
Combination of both are like dynamite
THe combination is the key, that is good idea ZK, i need learn more. Thank’s anyway
oooo that is good info, thank;s all for sharing
Excellent advice.
Thanks shoe.
They have got a boost start but seems to me its bit down now …
Even John launched its twitter project
Yes i recently saw John’s new Twitter Project ..seems really interesting
Zubin
Yeah try this if you want to get followers.
ZK, it mean i must get a lot of fallower to get money from it
At this rate it won’t be long before advertisers will pay twitter users NOT to tweet on a given subject.
i think this is a nice idea, but can you tell how is it diffferent from revtwt. they r scammers.
I couldn’t agree more Jeremy. The most sucessfull campaigns are written by advertisers.
be advertisers is great, i am newbie please where i must start to be good advertiser
I a gree with you jenny, i am a newbie to want learn
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I was not into twitter but now I will check it out.
Very interesting and amazing
you can get that much with easy way
is really great
That’s another cool way of making money online. I ‘ll obviously give it a try hoping i ‘ll also get same kinna results.
The site interface is nice and has improved but ad inventory seems very sparese as yet.
I agree, publication on tweet will get more exposure if you’e famous, let the expert do their work for you not the opportunist that just looking for you to spend more money on them
Very cool. I always learn something new when I come back to your blog. I really need to get the rss.
Thanks
Jason Berkes
Yup me too, i get a lot of information about how to earn mone from shoe site
Is great
Dangggg…2 grand just like that? I thought withdrawing $57 was good…
-Mike
Just One word WOW
is amazing you can get that much with easy way
I had no idea. Wow, thanks
$2000. Man, you sure have some followers. I just started promoting CPA through my twitter account. No luck as of yet. Might dive into FB. Nice way nevertheless.
This will be a excellent site, would you be involved in doing an interview about how you created it? If so e-mail me!
Do not forget to check out these two options from your twitter account otherwise you will get tonnes of email –
New Follower Emails
Direct Text Emails
If you are new in twitter than this will be good to give a good start. After 15 days you should slow down
I already sign up, but alot of them when i clik to fallow the result is error, that why i stop it ? it is somenthing trouble ?
I get that too, I’m not sure why. I figured maybe those profiles no longer existed or something. No clue.
Haha! Now you tell me! I had to learn that for myself… One thing that pisses me off is that there’s no way to keep direct messages from being sent to my cell phone unless I turn that device off on Twitter. I have a few people I like to be alerted to when they post & now I can’t even have that because Twitter is lacking this very vital option!
yup i sign up to but so many profils is error
I get error to, i think it just find fallower for them self
