Pay-Per-Tweet…Don't Believe Everything Tweeted

sponsoredtweets2If you spend any time at all on  Twitter, you might have noticed an increasing number of celebrities tweeting their love for particular products and brands. Former Playmate Holly Madison and reality TV star Kim Kardashian are allegedly two noteworthy participants in a new marketing technique that some are calling pay-per-tweet!

Madison and Kardashian have been hired to tweet about Giorgio Armani by Izea, a social media marketing firm formerly known as Pay-Per-Post, which paid bloggers to write about and review products. In its current incarnation, IZEA is paid by large companies, such as Armani and Blockbuster, to find appropriate bloggers and twitterers (only a few of whom are celebrities) to push products and services. These social networking publicists are then paid by IZEA for their efforts. The company has stirred up some controversy thanks to its hazy disclosure policy, which doesn’t always make clear whether or not postings are in fact sponsored by companies.

You can get paid for your tweets too. Log on to http://sponsoredtweets.com/

If there is an advertiser whom wants to reach out to your followers they’ll get with you.

    I would suggest practising self-complacent marketing, let me explicate. You can get a video recording professionally made for just about $47.00 97.00 (30-60 seconds) proving your choice desk drawer slide. You can even prove how accessible it is to destroy your rivals and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword research done for you professionally, identifying the keyword phrases that will get you a sufficient amount of search volum, yes with milder competing pages. Thank you for this article! I’ve just discovered a absolutely incredible news portal about panda marketing Effort it!
