Monetizing Your Twitter: Magpie Brings the Bling But Will Followers Drop

In 30 days, I have found myself in a position where I now have over 39,000 Twitter Followers which in Twitterdom is a mass of Tweeps, and oh yes, I thank and am very grateful to the powers that be. And indeed, the small business owner in me who is looking at everything I can possibly monetize thought, "Hmm, how can I make money from my Twitter?"

Someone suggested to me Magpie, an ad network for Twitter. Here is a very cute diagram of how Magpie works and how you the Twitterer make dinero. And here, you can plug in your Twitter name and Magpie will give you a ballpark of how much you could potentially make per month. So, I plugged in my Twitter name: skinnyjeans, and here's how much coin Magpie says I could make:

That 45,274 Euros per month converts today to about $58,237 USD per month which is $698,844 USD per year. So um, yeah, I fell out of my chair. Wouldn't you? So see, Magpie is looking very alluring about now, and the idea of being a six figure Twitterer just sounds pretty amazing. Is there even anyone doing that? If you know, please share.

Twittering is sooooo much easier than blogging and right now, if I could actually make that kinda bank or even 1/7 of that amount with Magpie just tweeting, then blogging would go bye-bye or I'd just use my blogs to elaborate on tweets because I don't even make any where (no where) near that kind of money through my blogs where I also have to work 10 times harder. However, let's come back down to earth...
