Community Q&A

Question

I have a twitter account with 10+k followers. How do I make money?

Community Answer

You can do affiliate marketing, tweeting a particular store or brand's products. They will pay you a percentage of each sale.
Question

Kwerdo.com is a different web site now. It only shows several links. What can I do?

Community Answer

That site was a domain site. Meaning the company bought the name from a domain name site. From what you describe, it sounds like the website is down for now.

Warnings

Don't change your Twitter account to be only a money-making operation. Twitter is focused on community. If you stop tweeting funny, interesting or engaging things, you will lose followers, lose interesting chances for professional development, and, ultimately, lose the chance to make more money through Twitter.
