Using Twitter to make money

Twitter is a free social networking and messaging service that enables you to send and read short message updates known as tweets. Tweets are short posts containing up to 140 characters displayed on the author's profile page. These messages are then delivered to the author's followers.

To see how the messages (Tweets) are displayed please visit Seniors Discounts Twitter Page. For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter the Tweets are displayed in the main section of the page and each new Tweet is added at the top of the page. In the right-hand column you will see a short biography of the person or business, the number of people following this author, the number of people the author is following and how many Tweets this author has made.

How do I make money with Twitter?

Through affiliate programs. An affiliate program is an arrangement in which a company pays you money for every sale or lead they get from an online customer who clicks on a link on your Twitter page or website. Put simply, you are paid for referring business.

In the case of Seniors Discounts we will pay you for every person you send to our website who signs up for our FREE newsletter.

Who can become an affiliate?

Anyone who has a Twitter page or website. We find people and businesses which are located in the United Kingdom do very well. However, people and businesses from overseas can make money by suggesting people sign up to Seniors Discounts before they visit the UK for a holiday. Also, as Seniors Discounts is an age specific website we tend to find older people who recommend Seniors Discounts to mature friends and family through their Twitter page see very good results.

How much money can I make?

Some of our partners are earning several hundred pounds each month. The amount you earn will depend on the number of people following you on Twitter or if you have a website it will depend on the number of people visiting your site. It will also depend on how actively you promote Seniors Discounts.
