Sponsored Tweeting
The Twitter Boom has truly been amazing to watch, and everyone is using it now. From sport stats on ESPN to Cooking Recipes to Live news coverage. It hasn’t taken long for people and marketers to find a way to make money off of this.
It’s called “Sponsored Tweeting” where a company connects business marketers with twitterers with a large following. The business that tweets through this program can either pay per a click on the link or an over all flat fee based on how many impressions it was. The nice part about these program is that the person tweeting has the choice to send the tweet or not. It’s up to the tweeters discretion.
Their are several companies that do this, but the company that I think explains the opportunity best is the company Magpie.
