Before we begin, you must remember that when you make money by posting links, that you are advertising a product. If this is done incorrectly, you will lose your Twitter followers. Please refer to Make Money With Twitter Advertising for information on how to properly advertise on Twitter.
You will notice that I have left "Twitter" out of the title on this post today, because while you can make money by posting links on Twitter, you can make money by posting links on just about anything! Again, be careful where you post the links. You do not want to SPAM any system, website, blog, etc.
With that said... Let's begin!
The first and most common method to make money by posting links is with HootSuite.com. This is the only one of the three systems I will mention today that can only be used with Twitter. HootSuite.com integrates your Google Adsense account into your links. You supply the link to HootSuite.com and they will supply you with a shortened link. You write a quick tweet and submit the tweet to twitter. When a user clicks on this new, shortened link they will be taken to the original webpage with a small difference. A Hootsuite.com banner will be placed on top of the page with two sections. One containing all you Twitter information, a retweet button and a website voting system. The other section contains an ad from your Google Adsense account. Here is an example of a HootSuite.com link: http://ow.ly/5jvs. How to start: 1) Register with Hootsuite.com. 2) Provide your Twitter account information. 3) Provide your Adsense account information. 4) Grab ANY web link. 5) Shorten the link with Hootsuite. 6) Submit your tweet. 7) Make money by posting links!
WARNING: Seems that HootSuite.com is having issues making things work with Adsense. Here is a direct quote from their site: "We are currently experiencing issues with AdSense integration. Your ads may not be displayed. We are in communication with Google about this issue, and we will keep our users updated."
The next two methods on how you can make money by posting links are very similar. Linkbee.com and Adjix.com allow you to shorten links and post them ANYWHERE! Both of these mediums do the same "banner" thing as Hootsuite.com except this time, they provide their own ads. You do not need to get your Google Adsense account involved. They both pay you through your PayPal account. Here is an example of an Adjix.com link: http://adjix.com/d6q3
Linkbee.com takes the process a step further with it's easy to use design, it's link tracking capabilities, it's referral program, among many other things. All you need to do is sign up and you can start making money by posting links.
Also, Linkbee.com allows you to post the link with another money making option. Instead of using a banner you can select to have the link take you to a "landing page" before it takes you to the actually link. The landing page acts as a 10 second commercial (with clickable ads) between the link click and the final link result. Here is an example of a Linkbee.com banner: http://linkbee.com/Z54D. And here is their commercial: http://linkbee.com/Z54W
Hope this has been an informal post on how to make money by posting links. Please feel free to try out the examples given (and click on ads :)) and let me know if you have any comments or questions!
