How to make fast cash on Twitter
In part one of this series, readers learned that Twitter can be useful in creating additional income streams or just useful for fast cash in emergency situations. We’ll discuss how to use Twitter to possibly save money, if you’re saving up for something or paying off debt, or how to try to fundraise for charity.
The following ideas round out our series for making fast cash on Twitter:
Search for Deals
It is likely that you’ve fallen into debt because you’ve been paying too much for items that you use every day. Therefore, it is time to tighten your belt and start searching for deals on these items, instead. List products you regularly use and find the manufacturer on Twitter. Follow them for updates on sales, coupons, and so forth for items you regularly buy.
Also, follow coupon sites that offer a variety of different coupons or sites like Woot or SlickDeals, which offer or advertise a wide selection of deals on different items every day. While deal mining won’t put fast cash directly into your pockets, it will save you money that can be applied to your existing debt.
Solicit Donations
If you are raising money to benefit a charitable cause or if you are just in a tight bind and in need of a little fast cash till payday, ask your Twitter followers if they can share a few bucks to help you out. While this isn’t something you’d do every day, most people don’t mind contributing a dollar or two to charity or directly to your PayPal account when you need emergency cash. If you can get fifty people to donate a couple of dollars each, that adds up to $ 100 to your charity, or, if you’re soliciting donations for you, that much in donations for you. Chances are you’ll need more space than the 140 characters Twitter allows per tweet to explain your situation, which is where sites like ChipIn come in handy. By setting up an event there, you can explain your need and give your followers an opportunity to chip in. You may even want to offer an incentive, such as a service in exchange for donations. For example, if you are adept at making Twitter backgrounds or setting up WordPress blogs, offer your followers a special gift of one of these for the money that they donate.
Stay Home and Tweet
Twitter and other social networking sites are free to use and can introduce you to people all over the world. So instead of going out and spending money on admission, food, drinks, gas and other expenses, why not stay home and socialize online instead? It isn’t personal interaction, but it doesn’t cost you a lot to participate. When trying to get out of debt, your focus has to be on saving money, so if you’re a social butterfly but fluttering from event to event in the real world is keeping you in debt, learn to tweet, instead.
These little tips on making money on Twitter won’t make you rich, but they can help you make a little on the side, or save some cash towards debt or whatever. When you are in need of fast cash, it helps to think outside of the proverbial box and try things that you ordinarily wouldn’t. Bear in mind that, although Twitter does represent a money making opportunity, the key to success in any social networking activity is to personally engage those who are taking the time to follow you. Do not bombard people with advertising or financial requests simply because you have a need for fast cash. Take the time to interact and build relationships instead, and if you find yourself a little short on cash or burdened by debt, you have resources that you can use to turn your tweets into money.
