Twitter has become the newest tool for staying in touch with friends or creating a following. We have even seen the battle to 1 million followers between Ashton Kutcher and CNN. Twitter is poised to become the largest social network available. But, can you use Twitter to increase your income. Steve Poland founder of inseconds recently wrote Make Money With Twitter! 5 Monetization Models. Steve Poland shows some ways that you can monetize with Twitter.
Build a Following
Probably the most important step is to build a following. It does not matter how many ads you send out if no one is reading them. Steve suggests a following begins with your username. Steve Poland states "Have a Twitter username for “Knicks” (i.e. NY Knicks, a basketball team in the NBA). People add that user as their friend — the “Knicks” username pushes out any Knicks news… the minute it happens! Ditto on sports scores — if a Knicks game is going on, it’ll send out the score during the game to keep you alerted, if you want to be. If you can get 10,000 Knicks fans on your list." Once you have a following then you can begin to monetize.
