Get Paid to Tweet
One of our most popular posts for influencers is how to get paid to tweet. Several agencies allow influencers with a significant number of Twitter followers to tweet a brand’s message and get paid for it. Our influencer network also provides sponsored Twitter campaigns for our community members by hosting Twitter Parties for brands. Keep your eye on our community newsletter for opportunities to host, co-host or promote upcoming Twitter Parties.

Affiliate Income
Post affiliate links on social media to products that are trendy or on sale. You’ll earn a commission for sales purchased through your individual tracking link. See Affiliate Marketing Basics for Bloggers to get started.
Amazon affiliates can earn up to 12% from sales. For example, if your followers and readers purchase $835 through your links, which is easier for deal and money-saving bloggers to do, your commission can reach $100 or more. Holidays and special occasions are the ideal times to promote affiliate links and products.

YouTube Views and Affiliate Income
Google, which owns YouTube, pays content creators an agreed upon amount per 1,000 video views or cost per thousand (CPM). A viral YouTube video could help you reach the $100 threshold to be paid. Consider creating new content like a hot topic, instructional video or a popular product review.
For products you mention in videos, include affiliate links in the YouTube description to earn additional income when someone makes a purchase.
