Okay, so who is not Tweeting these days? It is truly amazing how such a simple site could grow so darn big. I don’t just have one Twitter profile either, I have quite a few. I have been trying to create a Twitter profile for each website so I can Tweet my site or blog updates. All these different websites allow you to interact with each other too! For example, I can link my Facebook to my Twitter so when I post a message on Facebook, it gets posted as a Tweet on Twitter.

If you are a Tweeter, you are probably on the lookout for cool and free Twitter tools. One thing that I am always looking for is Twitter graphics and images. Since I have over a couple dozen websites and blogs, I am always looking to put up a link to my Twitter profile. Here are some sites that offer free Follow Me Twitter graphics that you can use on your websites, blogs and whatever else to promote your Twitter profile.

• 31 Logos et boutons pour Twitter (Twitter Buttons) - Okay this one is Non-English but they have some super cute Twitter images that are in English.
• 30 Free Vector Twitter Buttons Download – These are free to customize
• Twitter Buttons – Simply enter your Twitter ID and go.

I just recently found a free application that you can use with Twitter to make Tweeting more fun. Do you like Facebook? I like how you can reply to the posts.  There is a program called Seesmic Web that I recommend trying. You don’t have to download anything. You just visit their website and login using Twitter. You will be able to view everything like a email type of userface.  I have heard of other programs like this one, but Seesmic is the only one I have used so far and love it!

Don’t forget that you can make money Tweeting too! I have been a member of Sponsored Tweets for a few months now. You can set the price you want to charge per Tweet.  You do have to have a minimum of 200 followers. For those of you with a large follower list, this might be a way to make some extra money.

Here are a frew more free Twitter tools that you might be interested in:

• Tweet Scan – A application that searches Twitter by topic of interest.
• TweetStats – Find out just how much you Tweet. Enter your username and get some graphs showing your Twitter usage, Tweet Density, etc.

If you read blogs, you might already be aware of how popular Twitter can be with blog posts.  More and more you  are going to notice some sort of Retweet button on blogs. These buttons allow you to send out a Tweet on Twitter about the individual post you are viewing. Twitter is becoming more and more popular by the second. Even Martha Stewart is Tweeting!  Up until yesterday I paid no mind to the value of my blog visitors retweeting my posts. I have retweeted things but never sat down to find a way to allow my users to retweet my posts. I just only hoped they would think the post was so awesome that they would just do it manually.

One of the ways that blog viewers can retweet your blog posts is by using TweetMeme. For those that are not familiar with Tweetmeme, it is a service that aggregates links on Twitter to help determine what links are popular. There are a few other services that are similar that you might already be familiar with such as Twitturly and Retweet.com. If you are a Wordpress blogger, you can add a plugin that will automatically place the Tweetmeme Retweet buttons on your blog posts.  You should be able to see one in the upper right corner of this post. Tweetmeme also has a  plugin for Blogger, Typead, Joomla, Windows Live Writer, Drupal and B2Evolution. They also have a Retweet chicklet and other Retweet buttons to use if  you are posting via email, on a website, etc. With the Wordpress plugin, you have access to view Tweet stats which might help you see which of your Tweets are most popular. You can see how many tweets you are receiving in 24 hours. For the advanced Tweetmeme users with an App ID and App Key, you have access to a powerful analytics package too!

I have added the TweetMeme to almost all my Wordpress blogs. I am hoping to see some sort of increase in my stats using it.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Sponsored Tweets. All opinions are 100% mine.

One of my favorites, Izea recently launched a program called Sponsored Tweets. This is a program where those who Twitter can make money by sending sponsored Tweets. When I read about it, I just had to join. I love to make money and I have a Twitter account with over 1,000 followers.

I have been a member I think over a month now. I am getting invitations to make sponsored Tweets almost every single day. I think that this comes from setting my price per Tweet a little low. See when you sign up for sponsored tweets, you can enter what price you would like to charge per Tweet you make. It has a neat feature that will suggest a price for you. The price they suggest has something to do with how many followers you have. The more followers, the more it is going to suggest. I went ahead and lowered mine to about half of what it suggested just for the fun of it. Once you are a member and get an invitation to earn money by sending a Tweet, you login to accept the invitation. It will then either ask you to write your own tweet or publish the tweet the advertiser is suggesting.

Sponsored Tweets also has a referral program. When you are a member, you can access the referral program from the website and send out a Tweet with your referral link. Of course you can also promote the referral program outside of Twitter. One thing with this program though is you should have at least 200 followers. I think it will allow you to join if you have under, but I doubt you will get any invitations to Tweet.

For the last year if not more, I have heard people advertising that you can make money with Twitter. I never really look into how you can exactly do that until recently. I have been making money with Sponsored Tweets. This is a program that allows you to make money by sending out messages through your account, otherwise known as Tweets. I had seen the program mentioned on quite a few blogs I read so I had to find out what it was all about.

What is cool about the Sponsored Tweets program is you can decide on the price you want to earn per Tweet. They even have an option that will suggest a price for you. I think this number is based on the amount of your followers. You do have to have at least 200 followers to be able to participate.

One suggestion would be to set your price lower then their suggested rate to get more sponsors for your blog.  I tried first with using what they suggested and did not get any offers until I lowered it a little.

Every time I turn around, I see someone advertising their Twitter profile. I was even working out at the gym one day and seen Martha Stuart was bragging how she Twitters. With the popularity of Twitter, more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon. They are even hosting special promotions just for those who read their tweets.

One of my blogger friends Linda wrote a post titled “Who’s on Twitter? Companies We Love“. I think you will enjoy her post as she lists some of my favorite companies that Tweet!

Many of you are already using Twitter to send out Tweets about your business, what you are doing, new blog posts, etc. I mainly use Twitter to post my new blog posts or webpages that I create on my sites. I also use it as a way to get the word out about my blog giveaways that I host on my blog.

Up until yesterday, I had only heard that you could make money with Twitter. Yesterday after finding out that IZEA had a program to make money with Twitter, I was not really looking for a way to monetize it. I am a big fan of IZEA’s other programs because I have made a huge amount of money with them. It is a company that I trust and know works for me. IZEA has a program called Sponsored Tweets.

With Sponsored Tweets, you are paid to send out a Tweet to your followers. You must have a minimum amount of 200 followers to be accepted. Many of you have way more than this. When you join Sponsored Tweets, you will be able to set a price you want to charge per Tweet. It does recommend a price based upon your current Twitter stats. So far, I just am going to go with what they suggest. I may decide to lower it a little because I read that this could increase your chances of more paid Tweets. They also have a referral program where you can earn 10% of your referrals income they generate with the program too!

If you on Twitter and have a large amount of followers already, this might be a great way to make some extra money. I would not expect to get rich from it, but anything helps these days!

I am one of the Google Alert users. I like to know when and where my name is being used. Now you can be the first to know who is Twittering about you too! There is a new service out called TweetBeep that gives you Twitter alerts by email when someone Tweets about you or your services. You can actually set it up to notify you of many things. You setup phrases for it to search by. I think I just might have to sign up and give it a try!
