At the Revenue Bootcamp conference on Friday our panel was asked how we would monetize Twitter. I took the lead on this one and talked about how I was already monetizing Twitter… but just for my own benefit.
I also went on and talked about how there is a HUGE market imbalance going on right now with Twitter traffic.
I started doing sponsored tweets about a year ago when I was offered $50 a tweet and recently as much as $400 a tweet.
But the opportunity really lies in arbitraging Twitter traffic. There are about a dozen Twitter advertising networks out there. Traffic can be purchased anywhere from .5 cents to .15 per tweet.
I will show you my first examples playing around with arbitraging Twitter traffic.
A couple months ago while browsing the Social Spark opportunities I noticed they had added CPC deals. This means you get paid per click that you send to them. They also have a special link you can use for social network traffic like Twitter and Facebook.
