So You Don’t Have a Blog ~ Maybe You Don’t Want One!

September 20th, 2009 by Heather Masson

I talk to so many people that don’t have a blog, and don’t want one, but still wouldn’t mind earning a bit of cash on the side. Many of you are work at home moms or dads. You don’t want to worry about all the “techno crap” that goes along with setting up and maintaining a blog.

Some people ask me – Well how do you know what to write about, or tell me that they’d have no idea what to say.

That’s okay!!!

You can still Learn to Earn Money At Home!! And when I find any idea and suggestions on how to that, I will share them here.

That being said, I’ve being playing around with Twitter the last few days as part of getting up to date with the blogging community. Twitter is so easy to use, and it’s so much fun. But I found a few ways that people are earning money on Twitter – without having a website. Just in the course of doing what they do, talking with friends, making connections… AND SENDING TWEETS!

The first one is really easy, and I jumped right on it. It’s called “Sponsored Tweets“. Companies or advertisers will pay you to send out tweets telling about their product and service. Now, Here is why it’s so easy.

You don’t have to have a website or blog to participate in this. All you need is a twitter account, and friends.
You don’t even have to create the tweet if you don’t want to. They will give you the pre-written tweets.
You can accept of decline opportunities, and if it’s something you don’t like, or don’t agree with you don’t need to tweet it.
You tell them what you are interested in, and that’s the type of thing you get to tweet!

So why would they want you to send tweets? Well it’s simple – if you tell 3 friends and they tell 3 friends and so on, and so on (do remember that commercial from back in the day? ) You can suggest a price that you want per tweet. And so people that are starting out of course, don’t get as much as people that have big lists of friends. And in fact they require you to have a minimum of 200 friends before you get a lot of action.

I originally said I had a few ideas, but this is already getting long. So add me in your Google Reader, so that you can see when I share more ideas with you.

Hope that helps…
