The sponsored tweets don’t have to be hidden or misleading to your followers. Disclosure phrases can be used in any way you see fit, as long as it is clear to the reader that there is a commercial connection between you and the advertiser.

“Today’s tweets are sponsored by Acme. I totally dig their widget http://spn.tw/1234″

“Sponsored : Check out ACME widgets here http://spn.tw/1234″

In exchange of your sponsored tweets, you will start making money, but bear in mind, your Twitter account must be at least 60 days old, and have at least 50 followers and 100 status updates to be visible in searches to advertisers. However, advertisers can still explicitly make you offers.

The price you set up for sponsored tweeting has a minimum default price of $0.10 and differ markedly as it can go up from a couple of dollars for common people to thousands of dollars for celebrities, depending on the number of their followers (which can reach millions) and their social influence.

Slogans

Writing slogans is fun and inspirational. A catchy phrase or sentence and you are done; it doesn’t take special skills to make a slogan and yet the best part of it is that it can be very profitable. Slogans like Think Small for Volkswagen or Slightly ahead of its time for Panasonic aren’t that hard to come up with if you have the knack for picking words that leave a strong impression.

Your slogan can be sold for $50 for companies like Ephemera .com which specializes in Novelty Buttons, Magnets, and Stickers. You may also try your luck with slogan contests or sign up for a crowd-sourcing slogan development service like GetaSlogan.com or SloganSlingers.com where you respond to descriptive slogan offers from clients. The best rated slogan wins and gets paid. And since sloganeering is the skill of finding the right word for the right situation, you can apply this skill for an extra and get paid for suggesting the right domain name along with a slogan. This particular service is offered by PickyDomains.com.

Short Story Writing

If you have imagination in abundance and feel the need to put it in words, then why not write a short story. You can’t just do it for fun, but for cash, as well. Several fiction magazines will pay for your talent. Many of them organize contests around a topic or a prompt (which, by the way, can either be a sentence or a picture). The Writer’s Digest, one among the best in the field, has a wide range of contests revolving around crime, thriller, fantasy, etc stories. The maximum pay is an astounding $3000 for short-short story contest. The story must be limited to 1500 words only. The first and second runners up will get no less than $1500 and $500, respectively.

Writing less and earning more is not fictional. People with talent can get the most of it if they look around them and seek how to get paid for writing what they want, and when they want it. They don’t have to slave away to write a thousand words on daily basis, and think that opportunities are only open for long-winded pieces of writing.
