Twitter being one of the most popular social networking site, we can’t ignore the possibility of our Twitter account monetization. 
Here I’m going to share some web-apps for Twitter which will help you to make money from Twitter. Most of these Twitter apps, work in the model of tweeting ad. Which means you will be either Tweeting someone else ad and getting paid for it. Ex: Sponsored tweets and Buysellads Twitter ads. Or, some of them let you add your own advertisement in the shortened link, which can help you to earn more from your tweets. Specially, if you are a power Twitter user, such ads at the top, can do wonder.
Online media has opened door for every individuals to earn money. Among many ways, Google Ad sense is one of the most popular ways to earn money. You just have to add Google Ad to your blogs or websites, and then create interesting contents. The money will start to trickle in your account, if you can drive traffic to your blog or websites. It’s all about advertisement and creating lead, it is also known as affiliated marketing. The relationship can be best described as advertiser, publisher and mediator.
Advertisers add their advertisement, publisher creates content and builds traffic, and mediator (in this case Google) is the middle man between the publisher and the advertiser.
But after the rise of social media, sites like Twitter have created different channel of earning money from twitter account. Currently affiliate marketing is getting very popular in all the social media sites. Here are the five top ways to make money from twitter.
Twitter apps to make money from twitter:
Sponsored Tweets
Sponsored Tweets is a way in which you can make a tweet with monetary value. Sponsored Tweets is just like Pay per Post. You tweet an advertiser’s message and earn from it. Regarding the rules and regulation, SponsoredTweets facilitates an open relationship between the Tweeters and Advertisers. The Tweeters that engage in a sponsored tweets program are required to disclose their relationship with marketers in their communications with other consumers. <sign up>

Twivert
In Twitvert, Advertisers first create a campaign in which they will specify the message and the time to tweet that message. Then Twivert finds an appropriate twitterer to publish the advertisement. Once the Twitterer confirms the specification mentioned by the Advertiser, the system starts to tweet on behalf of the tweeter and hence the Advertisers are charged. <Sign up>
The system has fraud detection mechanism to filter the fraud clicks. Twivert lets you earn money by tweeting Pay Per Click ads. Payment limit is $30 via PayPal.
RevTwt
The model of RecTwt is also quite similar to that of Sponsor Tweets and Twivert. CPC ads start at as low as 10 cents per click, and CPT (cost of per tweet per thousand followers) ads start as low as $0.30. RevTwt pays you for tweeting either pay-per-click or pay per thousand (followers). You get paid when you reach $20 (PayPal). <Sign up>
BeTweeted
BeTweeted provides a system where Advertisers can compensate Twitter users for introducing a specific URL to their followers, presumably with some level of personal recommendation and introduction. It also encourages the inclusion of that advertiser’s Twitter Username by means of a @reply or RT function that will ultimately build followers for the advertiser. The catch is, however, that twitterers are paid based on click-throughs, not impressions.`<Link>
BeTweeted is a Pay Per Click ad network. All the tweets are manually triggered. You can choose the links you want to tweet and get paid per click.
NXY
Nxy.in is a quite a different service than others. It removes the presence of middle man and lets the user control everything. The main concept is to allow users personalize the link that he/she is tweeting or distributing over his/her network.
Nxy.in allows user to customize the landing page and brand it uniquely. The system also creates a short URL which is unique to the user. User can also add Google Adsense on the frame and distribute the link. User will earn through their Google Adsense. This provides a unique way for an individual to work on his/her strategy and be independent from advertiser or the middle man. <Sign up>
For advertiser, NXY provides a way by which they can create their own account and invite other NXY marketers to tweet for the advertiser. All the communication takes place between the advertiser and the marketer. Nxy provides all the facility to monitor marketer’s performance and make a deal. This is known as corporate dashboard, where advertiser will have access to all the statistics of marketer’s performance.

I have tried sponsored tweets but it was very difficult to make money from ST.
The only hard thing is getting offers, but once you have it, it will be as easy as single tweet
Liked the RevTwt service. Its very good especially when u have got a large number of followers.
you just mentioned everything….i wonder when will i get enough followers to earn money from TWITTER
Tushar this is biggest misconception, you do n’t need a huge number of followers but you need a highly influential profile.
Thanks for this wonderful post Harsh, I never knew we can make money through twitter too…!
Sponsored Tweets has provided me with a nice supplemental income for tweeting and referrals. Although it doesn’t make me a ton of cash, it’s definitely the easiest way to make money.
I agree with your Gabe. It is easy and more over it doesn’t put your followers off. Thanks for your comment.
But we may lose.. some twitter followers!
Chethan it;s up to you which ad program do you use. For example sponsored tweets give you an option to accept or reject any advertisement offers. So if you feel that particular advertisement might put your followers off, you can always reject it. More over every ad pffer come with a suffix [ad] or similar word, which makes it clear that tweet is sponsored.
I signed up for Sponsored Tweets about three weeks ago, I haven’t received any offers yet. If this is suppose to work, I find it weird that I haven’t received anything from them.
Jens once you start getting offers from sponsored tweets, it may work. The thing which they look for is how influential your profile is. Sometime a twitter profile with less but powerful followers works the best in comparison to a profile with huge list of followers.
That might be it. I was wondering why I didn’t get any offers, even offers worth a dime or two
Ashish I’m using sponsored tweets and at times I receive few offers and it’s working out to be good for me.
Rajeel do let us know your experience with anyone of them.
Hey guys! Any of you got paid by Ad.ly? I’ve got a measly $0.23 and not getting any more offers, but the payout is $50!
Samit I’m not sure but I guess ad.ly Publisher program doesn’t allow Indian publishers.
I love this, sponsored tweets, mylikes n ad.ly n magpie is working for me. Mylikes is the best because the payout is low but I am in the US . Follow me at twitter.com/plusdavina
Yes Ajeet I agree… On the other hand if you don’t have large no. of followers but you are in influential Twitter user.. This will help a lot…
In my opinion, it is become a little harder to make money via Twitter. This is working from my own personal experiences because a year ago I found it a lot easier to make a decent amount money as opposed to now where it takes more effort than it used to. As for the list above, the one that I found the best and am still using is Sponsored Tweets. One thing that people need to be careful about is annoying their followers with a constant stream of paid tweets – its a good way to lose your following.
