Gain targeted followers then promote to them, there are ways to make money from twitter even with un-targeted followers but targeted pays best
I tried to make money with twitter awhile ago. I spent i long time on it and didn't get much in return.
as i know, there is something advertising for url shortener such bit.ly. they will pay you when someone using your url shortener. and offcourse you can use your twitter status to get visitor using your url shortener
nopes it is not like that...not unless your followers are your classmates, officemate, etc. people that really knows you personally
Twitter conversions are always going to be lower than others simply because of the amount of people out there spamming. If your method involves shoving your link in front of your followers faces all day long you won't get clicks, to them you just look like "another" spam account. Be creative, post tweets about topics relating to your niche, make your account look more real and give your followers something to benefit from being your follower, this way you will gain their trust and then they might think about taking up on something you have to offer.
My twitter conversions is bad also I think your will find you need to make sure that your followers are targeted and not to just try and sell any old thing.
you need at less over 2k of follower before you can start making money. 400 even 500 is too small of followers
I have a friend who has some 20k followers but he barely gets advertisers from adly and sponsored tweets...he earned some $12 so far and $20 from revtweet but after he withdroawn the money...revtweet changed its policy and there no more advertisers from sponsored tweets. he manages to get at least 2 clicks from each ads out 20k followers
sometimes it depends on the followers. Some people bot their twitter accounts to auto follow people which ends up getting a huge group of followers who don't read the news feed.
