Is there Money to be made on Twitter?

Is a question that seems to be asked more and more. So I decided to test the idea. But first a bit of background, the day I tested it I had over 6500, followers. So not a lot, but not bad either. I had grown that in 8 weeks and I am adding around a 1000 people a week in my targeted keywords. Anyway I am wandering.

The test I decided was a simple one. Tweet an affiliate link out. Don’t put the link anywhere else, just on twitter. I tweeted it just six times, this would help cover all time zones. what I wrote was @ Matt Bacak and Shawn Casey together, what more could you want? to make money on line.

So what happened I had 36 clicks and no sales. Which in sales terms is 0.005% of a reaction ratio. Also I need to say I did this on a Saturday night, when you expect a lot of people to be tweeting. What has my experiment proved?

That Twitter is hit and miss, its not a precise tool. Its not to be treated as a list, more like an ad in a supermarket or a newspaper. I prefer list marketing but how so ever I do have a targeted followers. So to be honest I would have expected a bigger reaction. So that did not happen lets look at some reasons why not.

1. its Saturday night everyone is out.

2. The tweet was poor, but its about two IM greats so you would imagine that this would be a big hit with my IM following.

The last reason is people have so many tweets coming across their screens, that there is no way they can read them all. I get over 1200 tweets a minute so maybe they just can’t read them all. Solution tweet like hell. Not just six, perhaps six every hour.

People buy from who they know; this is where twitter can help you greatly. By getting known, so create a relationship on Twitter. This is the best way I believe you can make money on Twitter. Oh sorry one other way, sell a course on making money on twitter.
