I’ve been having a bit of a brainstorming session on how to make the most of Twitter. So, yeah, I’m admittedly a bit late to the Twitter game arena, but there are still tons of ideas floating around, just waiting to be monetized.
For example, what about bringing the credit-based safelist idea and twitter-izing it? Really simple concept:
User signs up for service, provides their twitter credentials. The user is now added to a pool of twitter users on the “Safelist”. Users can earn (or buy?) credits, which are used as such: for every X credits, you can post your message to Y number of users on the safelist.
Except that this is WAY cooler than safelists, because you’re not just advertising to the direct opt-ins of the “safelist”, but rather to all of followers of all of the members of the safelist. So lets say you post an offer to 200 members of the safelist – your ad will now be seen by 20,000 people (assuming an average of 100 followers per person on the safelist).
Talk about Viral, eh?
Of course the pricing takes this into consideration. You’d probably earn 5 credits for each link that YOU look at personally, and maybe 1 credit for each link that one of your existing followers clicks on. And you get to post your offer on one person’s twitter account for every, say 100, credits that you have.
Voilà!
(PS. I want a 2.5% commission if someone monetizes this
