I Made Money From My First Sponsored Tweet – Adly

by Salman Ahsan on February 3, 2010

Hey guys, I have been working with several stuffs lately. Of course, I have been going through trial and error but hey, that is the part of the game. Today I decided to tell you guys about ad.ly (the popular twitter advertising platform) and how I made money from my first sponsored tweet.

How I Made Money From My First Sponsored Tweet

How I Made Money From My First Sponsored Tweet

Sorry guys, I had to blackout the advertisers details and my price per tweet to maintain privacy. To find out what i charge just get on adly and find it out yourself ;)

First of all, I know that a lot of you think that it is impossible to make money on twitter. Please wipe that off your mind because you are wrong. I know that there are tons of popular celebrities and twitterers who make a sweet 5 figure from a single tweet. Now it’s ok if you are not popular, I suppose at least 70-80% people on twitter are regular users and not celebs. Think about this, even if you charge only $5 per tweet, it is a really good start. You also dont have to do much, if you have to write, its only 140 characters. Beside, if you are advertising with the platforms such as adly or sponsored tweets then all you need to do is accept the proposal and they will take care of the rest.

Now here is the deal. If you are active on twitter and engage in a lot of good conversation then you will have a great chance of getting sponsored. Remember, it’s always not about the followers count that matter. However, the ratio of the following count to the followers do matter. You dont want to follow 1000 people while having only 20 followers. You definitely need to balance that out.

I do not do much of sponsored tweets since I am choosy. I will not support an ad which is not related to my niche. If the ad provides value to my followers than I think it is a good start to make some cash on twitter.

I am working on a post where I will elaborate this and also bring it out on the table step by step so you all can learn, implement and succeed and of course make money from tweets.

Two of my most favorite twitter advertising platform are the sponsored tweets and adly. Why only let the celebs make money on twitter, sign up right away and I will see you on the other side. Good luck

A Sneak Peak At My Latest Projects

by Salman Ahsan on February 1, 2010

I have been trying hard to keep up with my blogs but I’ve been really busy working on my projects. I always wanted to give you guys a sneak peak at what I am really working on and it is finally here.

I won’t be able to mention all the projects since some of them are still going through basic stages (confirming domain names, setting out layouts and designs etc) and I don’t think that it will be appropriate if I mention something that is incomplete so let’s leave that for now ;) .

BlogMaster Point

BlogMaster Point

BlogMaster Point

I have been thinking about this for a long time. There are several popular forums for webmasters but it is difficult to see one for bloggers. I have been always interested in creating a forum that will be dedicated only to bloggers so I decided to come up with BlogMaster Point where all the bloggers can connect with each other and share knowledge. I have been thinking about this for a while and I have a good feeling about it. I have also received several positive responses from my people and I appreciate it. The forum is up and I need several moderators. If you are interested then let me know. It’s a great opportunity.

Starcraft2 Forums

Starcraft2 Forums

Starcraft2 Forums

I have been playing games since I was a kid; of course I am still young at 23 ;) and still enjoy gaming. Been a fan of starcraft and decided to start up a forum for the latest starcraft2. First, I thought I would create a forum for gamers but then I had a feeling that starcraft2 will take over in the 2010 and I didn’t want to miss this chance so here it is. It’s up but I will be working on the design and layout so it should be running soon.

Android Apps Forums

Android Apps Forums

Android Apps Forums

Another awesome forum dedicated to android phones and apps. Android is new and there are not many forums out there dedicated to this niche. As usual, I wanted to score on this ;)

World Poker Forums

World Poker Forums

World Poker Forums

If you think I am going crazy over forums maybe you are right. I enjoy creating communities that cater to people and internet as a whole. I love poker and I have had several people and friends coming up to me and requesting to create a kick-ass forums. I do what I like and I will never miss an opportunity so walla, I gave birth to my world poker forums. This is not just a forum for me, it’s more like a community where we all can share ideas, learn strategies and skills. I will start marketing the forum pretty soon so register and secure your nick ;)

Why Squidoo

Why Squidoo

Why Squidoo

Squidoo was founded by the popular and marketing genius Seth Godin. I have been a fan of squidoo since I discovered it. I have made money with it plus I have also created squidoo lenses for companies and people. I still love squidoo and take advantage of it when it comes to seo and backlinks. I have realized that a lot of people do not know its potential and how to be a successful lensmaster. I finally created a blog dedicated to squidoo. The blog will provide tips and tricks to make it big on squidoo. It is a self-contributing blog which means anyone who is a squidoo expert or knows about it can join and contribute. I have a good feeling about this and I am sure it will work out.

I have few more amazing projects that I am working on and will be giving out a sneak peak on them pretty soon. I love what i do and i always stand behind my work. My forums and blogs require moderators and authors so if you are interested in spreading wisdom, then feel free to hit me up @s_ahsan . This is also a great opportunity to get noticed. I look forward to work with all of you.

To your success….
