Young Entrepreneur: Should You Advertise On Twitter Posts?

By Adam Toren

I’m going back and forth about the concept of advertising on Twitter posts. From an entrepreneurial standpoint, it’s a good advertising vehicle and a good way to make some extra money. But there is a bit of apprehension because you wonder if you’re selling your relatives, friends and business associates short. Will they continue to follow your tweets if they know you’re making money from your posts? It’s something to consider as we explore REVTWT.com (formerly TWTAD.com) and TWITTAD.com, the two major providers of Twitter advertising programs.

While Twitter itself doesn’t offer a formal advertising program, there are two social media networks that are built off Twitter’s open API. Both advertising programs provide opportunities to profit from tweets and each offers entrepreneurs a cost-effective means of advertising on one of the most popular Internet and mobile phone applications.
