In this lesson, we are going to look at the "Cost Per Click" opportunities offered by Sponsored Tweets. By now, you should have already joined Sponsored Tweets but if you haven't yet then you can join here.
The cost per click opportunities are potentially a source of good income. When you were signing up, you will recall that we said not to select any interests and the reason for this is that if you do, then you will not see all of the available CPC opps. If you have selected interests, log in to your Sponsored Tweets account and then go to "my account" and de-select any interests that you have and then all CPC opps will show.
If you look at the CPC opps you will see that they pay varying amounts per click ranging from $0.01 upwards. It is tempting to go for the highest paying ones but don't because doing that can be a waste of time.
Look for ones that have a 100% approval rate instead and then choose those. The reason for this is that they are automatically approved whereas the ones with less than 100% are not.
Those which are not automatically approved are often a complete waste of time because you have to write the tweet and wait for it to be approved, which can take up to three days. Even they pay 20 cents per click, in that time you could have tweeted out loads of automatically approved sponsored tweets which will be working to make money for you.
There is also the fact that if your Tweet isn't approved, you have wasted your time and creativity and there is nothing to stop the sponsor from copying your wording and profiting from your words even if they have disapproved your tweet (this has happened to a number of people and Sponsored Tweets won't do anything about it probably because they don't want to upset their advertisers!).
So, selecting those opps that are 100% or automatically approved will give you a far better chance of earning. However there is an additional tip here - if you see more than one CPC opp with 100% then ensure that you leave at least three hours between posting each one. The reason for this is that your followers may click on one but are unlikely to click on two sponsored tweets within a couple of hours - by waiting you are likely to have different followers on who won't have seen your previous tweet and are therefore more likely to click on the new one.
An additional tip here is that when you are writing the sponsored tweet, be sure to visit the advertiser's website and write a tweet that is unique and which explains what the advertiser is offering. By doing this, you are far more likely to get cost per tweet offers from these advertisers in the future, which means more money and a better reputation for you!
Please note that it takes 30 days to be paid from CPC opps so that the advertisers can verify that they are happy with the clicks. The amounts for these will show in brackets next to your balance until the 30 days have passed but you will be paid for them.
In the next lesson, we will be looking at programs that claim to make money for you through Twitter but which you should avoid.
