Overview of SponsoredTweets.com

There are a number of Web sites that connect Twitter users with advertisers that want those Twitter users to publish tweets about their products, services, Web sites, promotions, and more. SponsoredTweets.com is one of those sites. SponsoredTweets is owned by Izea who also owns the popular sponsored blog posts sites SocialSpark.com and PayPerPost.com (you can learn more about both sites and sponsored blog posts here).

How SponsoredTweets.com Works

When you sign up as a tweeter with SponsoredTweets.com, you provide requested information, your required payment per tweet, and your Twitter profile, along with related statistics about your followers, activity, and so on, which are then added to the tweeter database. When an advertiser posts a tweeting opportunity that matches your profile (as determined by SponsoredTweets.com), your profile is provided to that advertiser along with any other matching profiles. The advertiser may then present the opportunity to you via your SponsoredTweets account if they want you to tweet for them. You can review the opportunity and accept or decline it. If you accept it, you must follow the instructions provided in terms of verbiage and links tweeted, disclosures (SponsoredTweets.com requires full disclosure that tweets are paid for by advertisers), and so on.

Tips for Signing up as a Tweeter with SponsoredTweets.com

SponsoredTweets.com is still fairly new, but already, a number of well-known celebrities have signed up as tweeters with high-profile tweeters like Kim Kardashian demanding thousands of dollars per tweet. Take some time to review some of the other tweeter profiles on SponsoredTweets.com and consider your own followers when you set your required pay per tweet amount.
