Sponsored Tweets is a Twitter advertising platform that connects advertisers with tweeters. The site provides robust targeting and detailed analytics.

Sponsored Tweets website pays you for promoting tweets from advertisers.

You can connect to the SponsoredTweets.com website using your Twitter account.

Cost per tweet

The cost per tweet depends on the number of followers you have and can be adjusted in your Dashboard.

For example an account with 2500 followers may have a recommended cost per tweet of aprox. $2.50, an account with 7500 followers may have a recommended cost per tweet of aprox. $8.00 and so on. The cost per tweet will increase proportionally with the number of your Twitter followers.

Fill out your keyword categories

You can select up to 10 categories of advertising you are interested in. Having these categories setup will help advertisers find you and pick you as a potential publisher for their tweets.

Type a category name in your dashboard or select categories from the existing popular Twitter categories, as in the image below.

Tweet Opportunities

When you get an ad opportunity you can accept it or reject it, based on your interest. You will be provided with instructions to write your Tweet.

Other pre-approved ads may show as available on your Dashboard. These are usually low payments of a few cents per tweets.

Advertisers will send you a link and text to promote and you can write your own tweet based on the provided instructions. Then the advertiser will approve your tweet and Sponsored Tweets will send that tweet in your Twitter timeline. You have to reach a number of clicks to get paid.

All tweets include a sponsor disclosure by using a hashtag like #Ad #Sponsored #Ads etc.

If you don’t have enough clicks you will receive a notification to re-tweet. If needed, advertisers may also suggest you more details to include in your tweets.

Payout & Affiliate Program

Payout is $50 and the payment is sent to your PayPal account. You can cash out before you reach the payout limit, but a $2 fee is deducted from your total payment.

After you sign up, you will have your own affiliate ID, so you can promote Sponsored Tweets and get revenue from potential new subscribers you will refer.
