Make Money Online With Twitter – Ad.ly

by Lee Ka Hoong on November 20, 2009

Twitter has became the largest free social networking and micro blogging service that enables its users to send and read messages, we call it as tweets. Also, there are more and more twitter tools launched on the web too, there is various of twitter tools which has various function, some helps you to find targeted twitter user, some enables you to automate the system such as follow and unfollow, some allows you to unfollow all people that you follow, and the like.

When it comes to make money online, there is few advertising platform which you can join to make some easy money with your twitter account. As we know, SponsoredTweets is one of the largest advertising platform on the web and it was founded by IZEA, a social media marketing. When a business is growing, there are always other competitors to start and compete each other.

Make Money Online With Ad.ly

Recently, another advertising platform was launched on the web and it caught many twitter users’ attentions, it’s Ad.ly. Ad.ly is an in-stream advertising platform that matches top-tier Twitter publishers with top-tier brands. It enables twitter publishers to make money online by sending messages or tweets that required by advertisers, you can set the price that advertiser will need to pay for a tweet or message. Of course, you can approve or reject the offer that you received, but I believe that no one will reject the offer because nobody hates money, right?

Ad.Ly In-Stream Advertising Platform

The system is simple, you just need to sign up Ad.ly and you just need to sit down and wait for advertiser to contact you. Of course, you need to build a huge number of followers with your twitter account, the more the better, that’s the only key to make money online with your twitter account, despite any advertising platform, they’re all the same.

Ad.ly Race – Official Contest

Ad.ly is running a contest, it gives out a great prizes to the winner. The winner will be getting a 13′ Macbook Pro, the approximate retail value of the prize is $1,199! How are you going to win the prize? It’s simple, just sign up Ad.ly and approach to the Referral Program and grab your custom referral link, go ahead and refer as much friends as you could, people who refer the most referrals, the people win the prize.

The contest will be ended at 11:59 p.m. PST on December 13, 2009, so take your time to refer as much as you can now. The person who refer the most referrals will win the contest. It’s not easy to win the prize as there are thousands twitter publishers are joining the contest, but just try your luck and have fun, who knows you can refer the most referrals?

It’s fine if you couldn’t be able to refer the most referral, at least you’ve received some referrals and they might bring you some cash too. Ad.ly has a referral program (as mentioned above) which allows you to earn 12% of everything your referrals make on Ad.ly, it’s slightly higher than the 5% referral bonus from SponsoredTweets. Both of them are good, you will need to try them yourself to see which network brings you the most income.

FOLLOW ME and SIGN UP AD.LY AND JOIN CONTEST

@Dan,
Sounds great! I hope advertisers pick our twitter and put it into their advertising list, I’m sure Ad.ly will be doing well since John Chow has made $1,000 per tweet from Ad.ly few days ago, that was pretty cool!

I am happy with SponsoredTweets as it helped me earned several hundreds of $$$ but Ad.ly has not helped me any cents since my participation and no hope for Ad.ly now. Thanks for this and hope you win the race :-)

Hi Lee, Great info. as I had not heard of Ad.ly as of yet so that is a great find for me. I am already signed up with SponsoredTweets although I haven’t done much with them lately. I’m thinking I would like to try this new Ad.ly but I do know I have trouble going to send out tweets everyday or whatever the norm is for most people. It seems that Twitters are tweeting every single day and hours, minutes ect. I just can’t seem to find that much time to be on Twitter. Do you? Thanks for the info. will check out Ad.ly Thanks jj

@JJ,
Great to see you here again JJ! How are you JJ? I hope you everything goes smooth. I think you’re not required to send out tweet everyday to get an advertiser, as long as you have huge follower, then you shouldn’t be having any problem in getting advertisers. I know you can since you have a huge number of blog followers. Try out Ad.ly and let me know your result JJ!

It’s just a shame that the more people try to earn from it, the more crap will be displayed and eventually kill twitter…since that’s not even close to what it was designed for.

@Dennis,
Yea, doing excessively of sponsored tweets may kill your twitter profile and also piss of your followers. So it’s better to minimize the number of sponsored tweets if you concern about your twitter profile.

Interesting concept. It’s amazing how creative people have gotten with such a seemingly simple social networking tool (Twitter). I Just may have to try some of these out and see if a lucrative income is actually possible since I’m always looking for new ways to make money! Nice post!

This idea sounds really good in theory, but it seems like no-one’s having very much luck with it! Do you think that this just because we’re all a little impatient, or that the product’s flawed? And if so, how?

I’m new to Twitter and think it’ll be a great marketing tool but I really need to learn some more about it…
