I'm sure most of you have heard or seen by now the many different spams, emails, direct messages or advertisements about your Twitter account and how you can make money with twitter by signing up and paying a one time fee. These are called Pyramid Schemes and for the most part THEY DON'T WORK! Do not waste your money on them. HOWEVER, there are a few companies out there that offer products for sale and pay you a commission for referring them a client. These are called affiliate sales or affiliate networking.
Today, I want to go into some detail about THE BEST Twitter Affiliate. Not only do they offer a solid product which I use every day, but they pay you very well for referring them business. This Twitter Affiliate is known as Hummingbird by Mesiah Labs.
Hummingbird allows me to capture targeted followers on Twitter. The program is an actual browser that will log you into your Twitter account. Once you log you, you search for people based on your interests. Find a Twitter user that seems to have a good following of people. Click on his/her follower list to view all of their followers. Once you are on this page, you can click a button on the Hummingbird browser that will automatically follow all of these users. The Hummingbird creators would like you to wait one day to allow time for those that will follow you back. After the 24 hour period, you can go to your list of followers and click an "unfollow" button to only unfollow those that did not follow you. Then you can start the whole process over again.
Doesn't that classify as spam? No! Hummingbird has taken it a step further. Once you unfollow someone, the program remembers them and you will never follow that person again. In Hummingbird you will never follow the same person twice!
For example, I have a real estate license and one of my Twitter Accounts, @RealtorRyan, is all about real estate. When I open Hummingbird, I search for the term "real estate". I take a look at one of the most followed real estate gurus. I then click on his/her follower link. Then hit the button to "follow all" and now I'm the guru! I invite you to check out my Twitter following. I started about 2 or 3 months ago and currently I have about 24,000+ followers who actually like to know about real estate. I don't think you will ever find a better solution to getting targeted followers. What's more, it's all automatic! I can set the browser to "follow all" or "unfollow all" and go grab a cup of coffee!
Okay... So where do you get paid? Once, you purchase the program, you are giving a referral code. I know what you are thinking... "How much?" This is gonna hurt... $197.00. Yes, I thought it was a lot at first as well. Why would anyone pay almost $200 for a program that no one has heard of. Well I went for it... and as you can see in the Twitter account I posted above, It's well worth it. Not to mention, this whole blog is about how to make money with Twitter. The more followers I have, the better.
So, I figured, in my case anyway, that this product is twofold. I can buy the product, get the referral code, gain followers and refer them the product I am using to get the followers. How genius is that? For every referral that purchases Hummingbird, I get 30% of the entire sale. That's $59! Quick math says, I only have to bring in 4 referrals to get my money's worth. Not to mention, now that I have huge followings, I'm making a killing on all the other methods I use to make money with Twitter.
This is just one methods of how you can make money with Twitter Affiliates. Check back again for some details on others. In the meantime, check out Hummingbird and please leave any comments or questions!
