There is little doubt that social media is here to stay. For users it is fun. For business it is  a force that demands attention.

Sites like Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter provide different tools that allow people to connect in new and exciting ways. They are also vehicles that provide two way communications and conversations between clients/consumers and providers. This is radically different than old advertising media which was and  is one way.

There has significant discussion lately on how companies and suppliers will use these channels and even how these channels will monetize themselves.  How will  Twitter start to make money?

Fortunately we do not have to wait until Twitter figures it all out. While  Twitter is wrestling with the big players, Twitter users have opportunities to promote their own activities, and to use the cyberspace to advertise goods and services of other companies.

BE-A-MAGPIE is a service that weaves pre-approved advertisements in with your real Tweets. There are two separate ways to earn money.

1. You allow Magpie to tweet advertisements  in your name at regularly scheduled interval.  You earn money by selling or promoting  products  and services while  magpie does all the work
2. You can become an affiliate and promote the company to advertisers. BE A MAGPIE pays a commission for each advertiser you bring in. (If you would like to advertise on Twitter through BE A MAGPIE you obtain more information here.)
