I think it's much better to use Twitter cost-free and focus on the social element alone. My recent post 3 Smart Ways to Promote your Business

I don't have a ton of experience on the merchant side of Sponsored Tweets, but I do ok as an advertiser. It seems to me that it's best for generating buzz about a brand or doing contests.

I find sponsoring tweets to only work on specific niches. They convert a little better than pay per view but are still an advanced way of making money online.

I was very skeptical about the sponsoredtweets program when I first heard about it. I just couldn't see that traffic converting well when twitter users are likely getting more used to just ignoring ad tweets. I guess at this point it is only select niches where this would really be worthwhile.

I agree SponsoredTweets can bring in considerable good results… but I think Tweeter Business model is not yet mature to be fully exploited….

Hey Zac,

Thanks for sharing this. I use several traffic generation tactics on a daily basis and I might add this strategy and see the results it may give me.

Regards,

Gary

Never really got fully into twitter, although by the sounds of it, it seems like Twitter is only appropriate right now for those who really really know what they are doing, and shouldn't really be tried by a newbie. What I wonder is… how does twitter compare to when Google first started doing their Adwords program, yahoo… msn… etc That would be a really good thing to look at, and compare how twitter stacks up in the early going.

I have seen the CPC offers on SponsoredTweets and have done a few here and there but the real money is in the paid posts for the Twitter. The same that you found from the other side of the transaction.

Thank you Zac for sharing your insights with us.

I use SponsoredTweets and think it is a great way to earn additional personal or business income through social media. I also think it is a great and cheap advertising channel as a media buyer.

However, Twitter advertising is still in its early stages. There are lessons to be learned on what are effective ads on Twitter.
