This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of TwitterHawk. All opinions are 100% mine.

Here’s another very helpful Twitter tool for you Twitter-maniacs out there: TwitterHawk – Social Media Marketing. Twitter is increasingly becoming a very hot commodity for social media networking. It’s not just for idle fun-lovers anymore– Twitter is becoming a necessity for any small business person, corporate business presence, and more. Twitter is just too vast and tweets move way too rapidly for the average person to keep up with it. Tools such as TwitterHawk are rising to the rescue for people and businesses who want to get their tweets “out there” AND have their tweets relevant to the current discussion of the day; or hour; or second! (Remember, this is Twitter we’re talking about– conversations move like the speed of light there).

OK, so TwitterHawk is basically a way to target your audience with relevant tweets. TwitterHawk, amongst other things, has an auto reply feature where you can send out tweets within conversations that match the search criteria that you have set up. TwitterHawk can send out tweets automatically, or you can opt to confirm the tweets before they are sent. In addition, you can also send anything at anytime for a more personal tweet, based on any search results you want.

TwitterHawk is easy to use. I found all the information and instructions a tad complicated just because there is so much information given at once and it is repeated from time to time. But the idea behind TwitterHawk is solid. The service is free to use for the first 10 tweets; after this, it’s up to 5 cents per tweet when credits are purchased. TwitterHawk offers click tracking so that you can monitor how effective your campaign is. (TwitterHawk reports that the current CPC is right around 2 cents per click, a notable performance.) There’s a good FAQ page at the site, lots of information with visuals, and more. If you’ve been looking to enlarge your Twitter influence, get more followers and traffic and make more cashola, you may want to take a peek at TwitterHawk and see what it can offer you.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Snipsly. All opinions are 100% mine.

Looking to make a few bucks online? Do you like to write articles or stories? Here’s something that may be for you: Snipsly. It’s a blossoming organization that allows you to earn money for anything you create and publish online: articles of any kind, short stories, long stories, videos, and photos. There are a few basic but important rules to be successful at Snipsly. You must never plagiarize; articles must have a minimum of three sentences. Longer articles are acceptable, but on the Internet, shorter articles tend to generate more interest. You cannot submit obscene material or promote illegal activities, etc. There’s a concise and simple Rules page at Snipsly, as well as a helpful FAQ and other information.

So how does Snipsley help you to earn money? In a nutshell, you earn money via Google AdSense. Your publisher ID number from your Google AdSense account (and you must have an account to write at Snipsly) tags along with your submitted content. Advertising shows 20% of the time, and you earn 80% on all ad-related revenue.

If you are a talented and speedy writer, you can certainly make some extra cash with Snipsly. And such writing is a good discipline if you are serious about improving your techniques or speed. I don’t think you’ll get rich from Snipsly (you won’t get rich from Google AdSense, that’s for sure), but if you like to write, Snipsly provides a nice way to earn a little money on the side, very easily.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Sponsored Tweets. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have a career in pro-blogging; I make a part-time living, making money online by promoting various advertisements and endorsements, and writing reviews and articles. If you are an enthusiastic blogger or writer, there IS money to be made. So far, the marketplace has been geared for paid blogging, ghost writing, or article writing. But the Internet is changing, once again. Leave it to the folks at IZEA to invent another excellent way to make money online.

The latest thing to come down the pike is Sponsored Tweets. Sponsored Tweets, at its very basic, is a way for you to get paid, promoting various products or services by your tweets at Twitter. IZEA is the middleman, providing the means of communication and payment from advertiser to blogger. Twitter is HUGE, its the biggest thing in social networking, and your tweets can reach thousands, if not millions, of people. The concept of connecting the vast audience of Twitter with knowledge about good products and services is brilliant.

Here’s how the system works, in a nutshell:

Sign up for Sponsored Tweets. It’s free. Offers await you.
Oh yeah– you have to have a Twitter account, too! Go do that first, eh?
Determine your pricing. There is a recommended price for you, but you can go as high or low as you want. IZEA has a very good help page if you need advice, and the Get Satisfaction forums are outstanding for finding quick help and tips.
Wait for offers from advertisers. You can choose to create your own sponsored tweets, or have them pre-written by advertisers. It’s up to you, and only you can give the final stamp of approval before it ever gets released into the Twittosphere. Disclosure is mandatory, however. IZEA has some very witty and unique ways to disclose; I enjoyed reading them, and you can tell that whoever did them definitely does a lot of tweeting!
There are some celebrities who have joined Sponsored Tweets. This adds a lot of clout, and you can also learn some tips of the trade on improving your audience.

There’s a very strict Code of Ethics for the Sponsored Tweets program (as well as all the IZEA ventures). There is always transparency and disclosure, but there is also freedom for expression and choice.

You won’t get rich with Sponsored Tweets, but you WILL make some very nice money on the side. And it’s a great way to supplement any income, online or not. And in this economy, every dollar counts! Check out Sponsored Tweets, it’s a REALLY easy way to make some money. Sign up for Sponsored Tweets here.
