The easiest to make money is to sell more stuff to an exisiting group of people. Twitter is still in it’s infancy and would prove to be more valuable if it could offer analytics/metrics to track just how many people saw a tweet or retweeted a tweet.

Advertisers want to get in front of as many people as possible. But, it makes more sense to me as an advertiser if I could choose my demographics i.e. I want woman to see my tweet from the east coast ages 14-27. . .etc.

I don’t know how you accomplish the above marketing tactic with a pay per tweet program, but if I have 100 new people visiting my site and they are not likely to buy my product or service, then that same 100 people doesn’t have real value to me other than clicks, which is not enough for some advertisers like me.

I think a Pay-Per Tweet Program makes more sense for a large advertisers with an establish brand.

Just my thoughts for now.

If you’re going to get paid to tweet you should have disclosure. Otherwise people WILL find out and people will lose credibility in the twitterer and the company. Companies might as well have their own twitter accounts (or pay someone to do that full time) and if their tweets are of value, people will follow and re-tweet. All I’m asking for is a just little disclosure (just a little bit).

Yeah, I know Darren was pulling our leg. But to me, the idea actually sounded pretty good(http://whatmattersonline.wordpress.com/2008/04/02/paypertweet-not-such-a-crazy-idea-after-all/.)

After all, what’s the difference between pay-per-tweet and pay per blog entry (now a fairly common practice), other than the need to keep entries extremely short?

Yes you got me too, though it was the 31st here…however I think the idea has to be discussed/considered sometime. Only problem’s disclosure, not enough space on tweets probably…

I wrote about it above. I think the best part is that you posted it just 4 minutes into April Fools. That’s what sold me on it.

If it would have been posted mid day I don’t think I would have fallen for it.

I just wrote you an email for requesting info, but I immediately got a failure notice, I do not know what was wrong, so I am writing here, hoping it is ok.

I am an Italian blogger and web writer, I would like to receive more info about the great opportunity given by PayPerTwitter.

I already have my own account on Twitter (http://twitter.com/desiitaly) and I am available to write about companies, products, services, websites and so on.

I look forward to hear from you, thanks in advance,
