I recently read an article in the Vancouver Sun wherein they did an interview with John Chow. If you are in the Internet Marketing field and you don’t know who John Chow is…then you are really not in the Internet Marketing business.
Chow has quite the storied past but boldly claims that he brings down $40,000+ per month just from his blogging exploits. I have no reason to doubt him.
I have read his stuff and seen his goods to the point where I believe that he COULD indeed be making that kind of money.
I know what we make and he’s got more Internet cred and market saturation than we do..so it’s quite possible that he’s pulling down that kind of jack.
Now he’s adding to that with Sponsored Tweets.
TV star Kendra Wilkinson, on the cover of In Touch magazine this week showing off her very pregnant belly, is listed on Sponsored Tweets with a fee of $11,765 to reach her almost 393,000 Twitter followers.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has more than 2.5 million followers, and you have to be an advertiser to check out her fees with ad.ly. But Sean Rad, founder and chief executive, said celebrities with Twitter followers in the millions can command paid tweets in the five-figure range.
“We let them set their own price,” he said. “It’s a market price and people probably play with those numbers all the time, moving them up and down.”
Rad said the paid tweets, which his company limits to no more than one a day per Twitter publisher — the name given to Twitter users who post tweets for money — can range from $1 a tweet to the low five figures.
“You’d get $20,000 once in a blue moon. You do see $11,000 a tweet — it depends on the person and on the following,” said Rad. “Five figures is actually very common in our system, but four figures is more common.”
Could it be that finally someone has cracked the code for the great time suck that is Twitter?
I hope so. Check out the article here.
