Advertising on Twitter with Twittad
TwittAd was formed to give Twitter users and advertisers the opportunity to meet for product placement & website promotion on a Twitter user profile.
Plenty of people are developing ideas for monetizing Twitter, but few seem viable. Twittad appears to offer a financial solution to prolific twittererers.
You will get paid every hour you serve the ad. A Virtual Account balance will be calculated and once the advertisers ad expires the money is released into your Real Account balance.
The system breaks down like this for Twitter users:
- Post Twitter account for advertisers to purchase
- Select your duration & price
- Wait for advertiser to purchase
- Accept or Deny the proposed ad within 48 hours of purchase
- If you accept the ad we will use the Twitter API to upload the ad to your Twitter profile
- 1-Tweet Promo Sent
- At the end of the tenure Final Tweet Sent
At the end of the day is this a viable solution?
I lean towards the NO, for these reasons:
- Only 1 testimonial
- I can’t keep my current kickass background @jordannilsen
- No analytics or tracking
- Limited functionality
- Non-dynamic ads are not-so-hot
Jordan,
Thank-you for writing about Twittad.com. As the Founder allow me to give just a brief response. The reasons you give towards leaning “no” on this idea are completely valid. We are in the process of working very hard on getting a solution to all those points you mention, especially the analytics and tracking.
We have had some recent advertisers that have done a amazing job of going through the process of ad placement through Twittad. I invite you to take a look at our blog http://www.twittad.com/blog.
