Twitter would have to be the most popular social networking site that allows users to send and read short messages, up to 140 characters, messages that are known as tweets. I would like to tell you of legitimate way to make money on the Net using Twitter called Sponsored Tweets! Sponsored Tweets act as an intermediary between you and the advertisers who will pay you for tweets. There are some who may be worried about losing followers if they start tweeting Sponsored Tweets but there is no need to worry because all Tweets have to be mandatory disclosed, this from their ethics page.

SponsoredTweets.com facilitates an open relationship between our Tweeters and Advertisers. The Tweeters that engage in a sponsored tweets program are required to disclose their relationship with marketers in their communications with other consumers. Our platform programmatically requires disclosure from all participants, applying standards and compliance system wide.

We comply with FTC regulations that state, “When there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product which might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement (i.e., the connection is not reasonably expected by the audience) such connection must be fully disclosed.”

The way it works is, once a member, you get a DM, or email whichever you choose, from an advertiser wanting you to tweet their product or service. You would then decide whether or not it’s one you would promote. If you’re agreeable you would tweet the ad with the relevant prefix letting your followers know that the tweet is a sponsored one. Sometimes the tweet will not be published until the ad is approved, but once it’s out there you will be paid.

As you have complete control over what you tweet you only tweet the ones you are happy with, and as long as you don’t go crazy no-one is going to mind. Some of them may even fit in within your niche adding value to yourtweets.

How much does it cost to join? Nothing, it is absolutely free! Anyone can be a member as long as they fulfill the following criteria.

– 60 days on Twitter
– 100 Tweets
– 100 Followers

Most Twitter users would be able to have instant access. If you’re not a twitter member you could be missing out on a lot of fun as well as having the opportunity to make a bit of extra cash. For those of you who are new to Twitter I highly recommend you read 50+ Awesome Twitter Tips To Become A Pro.

I want to talk to you about a new Twitter application that is going to rock your Tweeting world. This is something that all aspiring bloggers will want to get their teeth into. The application was the brain child of Stratos of stratos.me and it is with great pleasure that I bring to you a new WordPress plugin called Tweetscribe Me. I am so impressed with this plugin that I am actually going to make a small donation to the bloke who developed it as I think it is well deserved.

In a nutshell, what the plugin does is it allows you to get DM’d (that’s a Direct Message) via Twitter every time someone that you have subscribed to publishes a new post. Naturally they also get DM’d eveytime you publish a new post. Can you see the potential? I certainly did which is why I was the first one to test out this great plugin.

I know that you are probably thinking that this is the same as Tweet My Blog, but it isn’t as that plugin only sends out a general tweet to your followers, who if are not on line generally never get to see it. Tweetscribe Me will email them directly, DM them or both depending how you set it up. There is no way anyone can miss out on updates from any of the bloggers they have subscribed too. This is so much better than RSS readers as once again you have to physically run your RSS reader just to see what folks have been up to.

So, how do you get into the action? Man I am so glad you asked, because this Aussie blogger is just bustin at the seems to let everyone know how they can get instant tweeting gratification. Man, it’s almost
better than sex. I did say almost. OK, Just follow the these steps in the order that I’ve presented them. This is very important.

You have to follow twscribe, because if you don’t it won’t work.
Download the Tweetscribe Me plugin and install it to your WordPress Blog.
Activate the plugin and then got to the plugin settings where you fill in your Twitter user name and password and click the save button.
Go to the Tweetscribe Me site and log in, once again with your Twitter details.

That’s all there is to it. Check out the enlisted blogs to find out who else is using the TweetScribe Me and subscribe to those you want to follow. You will be notified when someone subscribes to you and even when they unsubscribe. This is so much
better than feedburner and the like because you can actually see who is following you. You can even display the amount of people following you by pasting a code into your sidebar. You can see mine on the right sidebar under the ‘Plug This Blog’ heading

At the moment members are few as this is brand spanking new, so we really need to get folks interested in it. So I am looking for you guys to join up as this is going to revolutionize the way we utilize Twitter. Tell everyone you know about it so that we can really get this going. The more members we have the greater selection of bloggers to choose from.
