Turn Your Social Media into Revenue

There is a big topic nowadays about generating extra income from social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Today I have my TOP 3 ways of doing so, all of which I am using right now. These are all free to use services and are quite simple to work with.

The first one is a service called Twtbuck. Twtbuck is a service that couldn y be any more simpler to use. They generate affiliate links for you, all you do is copy and paste them to your social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, or even your own website. They also have a referral program that offers 30% commission from all of your referrals. The payments are constant and you can be paid via paypal The steps are as simple as

Grab Ad Links or Widgets
Begin with Tweeting the ad and then share on Facebook and IM
Check out the link and write a small review about the link on your blog and give your ad links in the blog post.
Use ad links in your email signature or forum signature
For every click you get on these links, you get paid. Simple!

This service is by far my favorite out of all of the services I use and I highly recommend it to new beginners looking to add a little extra cash in their pockets. If you are interested in checking out this service go ahead and click here and begin earning today!

MagPie is a twitter only service that allows advertisers to post from your twitter account. Now when I say they can post from your account, no, that does not mean you give them your account information and they have full access to it. It s basically an ad post on your twitter feed that you get revenue from. You can set the ratio of how many tweets advertisers can post in your account settings so they aren t posting ads every time you post a new tweet. For example, I have it set up to where every five tweets I make, advertisers get one tweet. The payout for this service is $50.00 which is a bit high in my opinion. While this service is good, it is my least favorite simply because of the amount you must earned before you can actually be paid.

If you re interested in the MagPie service check it out here and give it a try.

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

1. Set your price.

All you need to get started is to set your price, add a category and some keywords then wait for offers to roll in from Advertisers.

2. Choose your offers.

As offers come in you can accept or reject them.

3. Receive Payment.

If you accept an offer, your account will be credited within 24 hours of your tweet. You can cash out once your account reaches $50.

All these services combined can earn you an outstanding amount of extra cash, simply by integrating advertisements into your everyday social media connections.This is another one with a high payout, but in my experience, you earn greater revenue due to the fact that you can set your own prices.If you are thinking of using Sponsored Tweets, get more information here.

Appcookr: App Creation Alternative

A hot topic in the tech world today is creating and developing iPhone apps and smartphone apps in general.  As many of you may know, most apps in the Iphone App Store are created using Apple’s iPhone SDK package. Unless you know some amount of coding, then creating these apps seems close to impossible for you.

That’s where Appcookr comes in.  Appcookr is a new web based service that allows you to create and edit your iPhone apps without having to worry about dealing with coding and everything else that is required in the iPhone SDK development package.

With Appcookr you can add in things such as RSS Feeds, Photos, Twitter Feeds, Podcasts, YouTube channels and a bunch more.  This service is ideal for people with blogs and websites looking for a way to mobilize their site for their followers and viewers.

Appcookr is very simple to use,  all you have to do is supply an email and password to create a FREE account with them, then begin creating.  They may ask you to verify your email address, which is no big deal but just a heads up.  There is one down side to this service and that is the length of time it takes for the app to actually be approved and published to either the App Store or Android Market.

In order for your app to be placed in the mobile stores, it must first be approved by the Appcookr team itself. That usually takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks.  If the app is approved, it is then sent to either the App Store or Android Market depending on which platform you are creating the app for.  Once it is sent, it must then be approved by the App Store or Android Market which could take a few more weeks on top of the 4-6 it took to be approved by Appcookr.

This obviously isn’t the greatest way to creating an app, the best would be to learn some coding and create your own.  But Appcookr does provide a free alternative that gives you simple and pretty great looking apps at no cost to you, the developer.

If you are interested in learning more about the Appcookr service, head on over to their website at www.appcookr.co.uk and check it out.  Considering that the service is free, you might as well give it a go and see how it works out for you.
