99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter

written by John Chow on July 28, 2009

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard of Twitter. In the short time Twitter has been around, it has pretty much changed the way I do business. Right up until the time Google let me back into their index, Twitter was my biggest referrer of traffic and one of my main money makers. In my quest for Tweeting knowledge, I came across a book call 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter. This is not an eBook but an actual book you can buy at Amazon.com.

99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter was written by the editors of GEEKPRENEUR. What started off as a introduction to Twitter eBook has turned into a 376 page reference guide.

Last year, we released our twitter ebook as an introduction to using Twitter. We could not have anticipated that our ebook would become one of the most downloaded Twitter ebooks or that Fortune 500 companies would be contacting us to include the ebook in their corporate intranets. But what we DID anticipate is that Twitter would be a strong and viable business and marketing tool. And so we assigned our entire writing and research staff to work towards releasing a Twitter business book. The result is 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter.

As you know no doubt guessed, 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter shows you 99 ways to make money with Twitter. Some of the ways are pretty obvious (like put affiliate links in your tweets) but there are many other ways that I guarantee you’ve never thought of before. Each chapter comes with a rating system to rate the difficulty, skill and income potential for each of the 99 methods.

In addition to the key ratings, 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter features handy tips for success and best practices model for each method. The books offers tons of information and doesn’t have to be read in a linear fashion. Just choose the method that appeals to you and read it. 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter is ideally suited for individuals, businesses and Internet marketers. It’s a handy reference guide that you’ll want to refer to again and again.

99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter is available from Amazon.com in both hardcover edition ($34.95) and Kindle edition ($19.95). Every Twitter user who’s serious about improving their business or social media income should get a copy. It’s well worth the read and I’ve picked up a lot of great ideas from it that is going to make me far more than the book price.

Think i will order a copy !

Gold Coins Blog July 28, 2009 at 8:05 pm: I think I’ll probably see if they have it at my local B&N and grab a mocha and take notes.
Make money August 2, 2009 at 11:04 am: 99 ways? I think it’s totally worth the money…

Lee Ka Hoong July 28, 2009 at 5:03 pm

$19.95 for a kindle edition is really a worthy price. But I do think that making money using twitter is not that easy unless we have huge follower, and we should know how to build targeted and strong followers.

Is the book consisting of tips on how to build targeted and strong followers instead of how to make money?

Regards,
Lee

Gold Coins Blog July 28, 2009 at 8:53 pm

Yea, but you have to have a $299 or $399 kindle. I can buy a bunch of books for that price.

Lee Ka Hoong July 28, 2009 at 10:03 pm

I just know kindle is a tool that used to read book in this way today. Same as you, I would prefer use the money to buy a bunch of books instead of getting a kindle.

Regards,
Lee

Make money August 2, 2009 at 11:07 am: I agree Lee, making money with Twitter somehow doesn’t seem all ethical. Basically, we’re making money by spamming other people. I didn’t get much of that idea until I saw proofs of profits.

Ethan SmithFIRST MOBILE MONEY TRANSFER MLM July 28, 2009 at 5:24 pm

yes you need a huge followers thats all you need in order to make money with twitter..then affiliate links etc.

Gold Coins Blog July 29, 2009 at 8:58 am

Yea, but you can’t just spam Twitter with a bunch of affiliate links, that will get you banned.

Shanker Bakshi July 29, 2009 at 10:24 am: Yes I agree, You just give me back to back five affiliate link tweets and i will unfollow you. Twiiter was never made for this purpose.

Liane YoungBlogger July 28, 2009 at 5:43 pm

I have to say “living under a rock” is already a part of your legend JC. I have the same sentiments as Lee. Also, with the large concentration of Twitter ebooks nowadays in the market, what’s the age of this one over the others?

Lee Ka Hoong July 28, 2009 at 6:24 pm

I do have the same question with you Liane, there are tons of similar ebook out there, then what is the differences between this and others?

Btw, if this copy contains the 99 ways to make money using twitter and tips on how to get targeted and quality followers, then I’ll consider to grab 1 as I’m currently getting excited to play with Twitter.

Regards,
Lee

Amazon has a preview of the book. You can read the first chapter or two to get an idea if it’s right for you.

Lee Ka Hoong July 28, 2009 at 8:00 pm

John, I’ve gone through amazon and tried to find the preview of the book that you mentioned. If I’m not mistaken, the preview is only available for kindle version, if I don’t have a kindle?

Is there any method which we can read the preview of the book in PDF or web page?

Regards,
Lee

Gold Coins Blog July 28, 2009 at 8:08 pm: Th epreview is right on the main page of the book. Just click right on the image of the book at Amazon and it will take you to the “Look Inside” or preview page. It’s pretty simple.

Gold Coins Blog July 29, 2009 at 8:56 am

I think this one just came out.

Diana W. July 28, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Interesting. I hope its also for those of us interested in breaking into the industry but have yet started — basically newbies. Thanks!

Gold Coins Blog July 29, 2009 at 9:07 am: Usually books like this are written for newbies and intermediate alike. There’s always a lot more basic stuff than I like.

Bolsa de Trabajo July 28, 2009 at 6:01 pm

I order my copy now.

Building followers is easy, leveraging them for cash is tough.

Ghostwriter July 28, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Just read the Amazon review:
http://www.amazon.com/Ways-Make-Money-Using-Twitter/product-reviews/0967754615/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Seems like the reviewers are pleased. It’s not a step by step book, rather suggestions/ideas.

Gold Coins Blog July 28, 2009 at 8:04 pm

What, they coouldn’t come up with at least one more way to make money from Twitter and make it an even 100?

Push Button Lock July 29, 2009 at 12:10 am: Of course it’s a marketing ploy. 99 sounds better than 100.

Greg Ellison July 28, 2009 at 8:19 pm

The reviews are good but is it really worth $34 if we don’t have a kindle. I know it is 300+ pages of information, but I don’t know. Greg Ellison

Gold Coins Blog July 28, 2009 at 8:33 pm: Of course it’s worth $34 if you can make that back easily. Sometimes you can do that with only one good tip.

Mathew day July 28, 2009 at 9:24 pm

Thanks for the post and I’ll definitely checkout the book. I’m sure I’ll make the 20$ or 34$ back within no time at all. Twitter is a good way to make money but you do need a lot of targeted and hungry followers.

game-girl July 28, 2009 at 9:49 pm

I am going to have this copy for myself.It is worth reading I think.

Doug Dillard July 28, 2009 at 10:06 pm

I have just recently added Twitter to my site and I am so new at it that I am sure this book is going to have A LOT of new stuff for me to try, so I am definitely going to get it. Thanks for the post John.

Faisal Anwar July 28, 2009 at 10:48 pm

I have yet to understand how to make money through twitter. Actually I don’t really get twitter. Maybe I should get this book

Nicolas July 29, 2009 at 12:09 am

Hi John,

I’ve bought the book as you recommended, and I’ve got to say that it is great!
Just wanted to mention, after the box that said, “Last year, we released our twitter ebook… etc. etc.” you wrote “As you know doubt guessed, 99 Ways To Make Money Using Twitter shows you 99 ways to make money with Twitter. ” Probably being picky, but it should have been “As you NO doubt guessed…”

Anyway, to finish on the high, 99 ways to make money with twitter was well worth its money!

Thanks,
Nicolas

I’m going to take a look at this book. Would love to download the kindle version, but I haven’t taken the plunge and bought the kindle reader yet.

hospitalera July 29, 2009 at 12:52 am

Getting followers on twitter is easy, getting followers that listen to you is very difficult, everybody wants to be heard, nobody wants to listen. SY

I am using twitter for community building for my website. although, I never tried to cashing those followers. I have found that many of my followers are spam. They just add everybody and they want me or people like who to whom they are following, to come at their page and see their ow product.

I am using Twitter to build a community as well of strong followers for my website Stocks on Wall Street, never though about trying to cash out on them.

Benjamin Cip July 29, 2009 at 4:14 am

Well, I tried to buy the kandle version of the book, but I got the following message :

‘Benjamin, we currently do not show a Kindle, iPhone, or iPod touch registered to your Amazon account. Kindle Editions are only available for these devices.’

John Pope July 29, 2009 at 5:11 am

For a short messaging service like Twitter a 376 pages guide seems awfully long…

Thanks for the book info. I’ve been interested in making money using twitter for awhile and this book would help me out greatly. And for just $20 it’s a great investment.

Brad July 29, 2009 at 7:34 am

I still don’t know why twitter has blown up as it did ~

EarningStep July 29, 2009 at 7:42 am

awsome . i will really order this ebook .

Shanker Bakshi July 29, 2009 at 10:18 am

Let me get my first 10k followers, i will get back to this post then “99 Ways….

Gold Coins Blog July 29, 2009 at 11:12 am: And how long will that be? Just order it from your local B & N and go red it when it comes in, but don’t buy it. And if you learn something that makes you the $34 back, then pay for it.

Free Arcade Games July 29, 2009 at 11:14 am

$20 to learn how to make money on Twitter….hmmm..

You could pretty much just learn yourself and keep that $20

-Mike

Dean Saliba July 29, 2009 at 2:58 pm

Although it sounds good I won’t be ordering it. I’m happy with the way I’m earning on Twiter and I’d rather keep the $20.

Canada Immigration July 29, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Honestly, it’s possible. There are numerous ways that you will be able to make money with Twitter, even while doing your usual “tweeting”.
