    I've used twitter for quite a while. All this time, I haven't seen any ads on it. So how does twitter make money?
    Any idea(s)?

    Got many followers?
    You can tweet the link to advertisers so they will pay you.
    You can also make traffic to your websites by tweet your link

    Yes I know you can make money by tweeting. So does the twitter do the same thing!!? I mean they keep on tweeting their advertisers message!!!???? This doesn't seem to be the best way.

    Oh! I see. I'd be more observant the next time I'll log into my twitter account.

    They don't.


    So far they've not made any money, they're starting to tentatively roll out their own ad programs, by including sponsored tweets in searches.
    But they have investors with deep pockets, playing the long-game, waiting for the right monetization model.

    Most people haven't even read the question! He asks how Twitter make money, not how people can make money on twitter. And I don't know how they do it, but they are filthy rich!

    You can rest assured that any attempt by twitter at monetization will result in a lot of whining and protest from many twitter users.
