Lesson 3


This lesson is about using Sponsored Tweets, another program that will help you make money on Twitter. This lesson is in two parts because Sponsored Tweets has two ways of making money - pay per tweet and pay per click.

In this lesson, we are going to look at setting it up and the pay per tweet bit of it.

Firstly, you will need to sign up to Sponsored Tweets by clicking here.

To sign up, click on the "sign up now" button and then on the following screen click on the sign-in with Twitter button. You will then be asked for your Twitter username and password (it's safe to enter this as you are logging in with Twitter's oAuth). Once you have entered these details, click on "Allow" and you will be taken to the sign-up page.

On the next screen, enter the e-mail address to which you would like to receive notifications of pay per tweet offers. You will also see a "Charge Per Tweet" with an amount in there already - if it is less than $1 then leave it as it is set but if it is more than $1 then I suggest changing to $1 (gets you a lot more offers!).

Leave the "Enable Clickwatch" box ticked because advertisers prefer Tweeters with it enabled. Disabling it will mean a lot fewer offers.

Do not put anything at all in the Tags box - leave it blank. Doing this will get you more offers but if you enter tags then you won't show up in searches done by advertisers unless they are searching for your specific tags.

Leave the notification setting at e-mail and then click "create my tweeter account".

On the next screen, you may be informed that your Twitter doesn't yet meet the necessary criteria for age and number of followers. If this is the case, then don't worry because your account is now set up to start earning once it meets the qualification criteria.

All you need to do now is sat back and wait for offers to start coming in however please note that it may take some time. As I keep stressing throughout these lessons, this is a long term program where patience is the key!

Once you do get an offer, you simply log in to Sponsored Tweets by going to the website and then logging in using Twitter's oAuth. You write a tweet on the Sponsored Tweets page and click on "Tweet this". Do not post the Tweet directly to your Twitter account yourself or else you won't be paid for it!

That's it for Part 1 of Sponsored Tweet. The next lesson will teach you what you need to do with the Cost Per Click opportunities and how best to maximise your income from these.
