Tweet For Bucks

As promised The Lunch Money Challenge has started back up with new ideas.

Sir Tweet O' Lot has the information on how to make money online without spending a cent.

Here is a way to make money without spending a nickle and using only social media.

OK you’re sitting there surfing the Internet and would like to earn extra money from your time online. You don’t want to or can’t afford to spend anything to get things started. Here’s one way to begin and you can get it started in a few minutes.

Social Bookmark websites like Digg allow you bookmark, tag and share websites you find interesting. What you will find is that many of those social media networks create a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed of all the bookmarks you have made. Wouldn’t you like to get something back from all that time you have spent online finding sites that interest you? Well you can and here it is easy steps.

1. Sign up for a Twitter account if you haven’t already.

2. Go to your Social Media Bookmark service and find the RSS for your account. Copy and paste the address for your RSS to a text document in Notepad or other text editor.

Here is an example from Digg to show where you will find your RSS feed for your bookmarks.

3. Now set up a Google Adsense account. If you have one already then just scoot on down to the next step.

4. In Adsense go to the “Adsense Set-up” tab and select “Adsense for Content” and set up an ad unit for a 234 by 60 advertisment. Copy text to Notepad or your favorite text editor and save it until we need it again.

5. Point you web browser to Hootsuite.com and sign up for their service. It’s free.

In Hootsuite go the Account Settings tab

6. Once you have created a Hootsuite account, find the RSS/Atom Feeds tab. Click the Add New Feed button. Then copy and paste your RSS address from the text document you created in Step 2. Then click the Twitter profile you want to send Tweets from. From the pull down menus decide how often you want to send a Tweet with your link and how many. Next click the Save button.

7. Now select the global Settings (Upper right hand corner, second from the far right).

8. Click on the Settings tab and scroll down to the bottom where you see Google Adsense Code section. Copy and paste your document you created in step 4. Select the Twitter profiles you want your ad displayed with and click Save Adsense Code button.

That’s it your done. Get back and start posting some more bookmarks to feed that bad boy.

I’m not going to tell you are going to become a millionaire from this. You can earn some extra cash depending on the amount of time your spend bookmarking and the quality of the links you are sharing. If you try to stay within one or two topics that you bookmark you are going to see a following on Twitter. Those viewers will be waiting to see what new sites you have found when you consistently stay focused on the subject they are interested in, remember the “Virgin Niche“. Remember that Google’s Adsense will be targeting the followers by serving ads in that match their interest and there is a higher conversion rate for niche followers.

As you can see you had nothing to buy to start  out. Anything you make is all profit. I’m not charging for this because I know everyone is either wanting make extra money to get by or they are looking get started in an Internet business and don’t have much cash to invest. The Lunch Money Challenge has been a lot fun to share with everyone.  When I get an e-mail from someone telling me they got their first commission check using only social media and the information they got from this blog it’s a cool thing to hear. I would ask you do check out some of the advertisers on here to help me keep this site running. Just remember the old “It doesn’t cost anything to look”.
