Getting Paid To Tweet! Sweet!

Hey everyone!

A couple of months ago I signed up for some websites that match Twitter users with advertisers. One of them was https://ad.ly.

I had not had any offers until today so I had forgotten about it! I know when people do things like this, people sometimes reply negatively so I just wanted to give you a heads up that I was doing it. I did this on YouTube before I started doing sponsored videos too. Now with all the new FTC regulations, you have to be clear anyways. The end of every Ad.ly tweet is marked with “(Ad)” notifying your audience that this is an advertisement.

Also know this is not a regular thing! I tweet like 24 times a day! HA! This is one sponsored tweet. I just wanted you to know about. Who knows if I will get any offers after this one!

I always tell other YouTubers and Internet Personalities to take advantage of opportunities like this when they are comfortable doing so. It is very flattering that companies want to work with us (like the Carls Jr campaign last year, the Kodak one this year or the super awesome Pop Tarts one over the weekend with Dave Days and Venitian Princess!!).

I have done several sponsored videos in the past two years- most were for TV shows or movies. I have never said yes if it didn’t feel right or I don’t think I can make it work. It rarely requires thought. I get an offer, I think -”oh that will be easy” and i do it or I think- “no way, can’t wrap my brain around it“, and I say no.

The same goes for Twitter, if it doesn’t feel right, I won’t do it. The one I am going to do first was a no brainer, I thought “why wouldn’t I tweet this?” HA!

I was going to tweet and ask what you all thought about but I know the answers.

The people who “get it” will say “YAY! Great Buck- good for you! You deserve it!”

The people who do not will say “sell out, whore!” LOL I added the “whore” for fun!

And the people who are in the middle say things like ” I would never do that” – but then they eventually do or they do it in a different way, but they are still doing it! LOL (oh snap)!

Thanks for your support and love!
Thanks for reading!
