Sponsored Tweets and Feeling Like a Cool Kid on Twitter

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

I had a first this week. I actually had a celebrity follow me on Twitter without me following him or her first. I have only had one other celebrity follow me since I signed up for Twitter, Cesar Millan, and I'm pretty sure that was an autofollow bot, not the Dog Whisperer himself. Well, I also had The Tyra Show follow me one day after I made several tweets while watching it, but again I doubt Tyra Banks was behind it.

The celebrity who followed me this week was Kendra Jade Rossi from Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. I had tweeted something the day before about the show and costar Kari Ann Pinache's inability to wear pants that cover her rear end. I guess the comment was funnier than I thought because I got a LOL from her husband, Lukas Rossi, and a follow from her. That follow may not have been A-list caliber, but it was high enough up the celebrity food chain to make me feel like one of the Twitter cool kids and pretty much make my Monday.

So I guess if I'm going to be one of the cool kids, I need to make a commitment to tweet on a daily basis. I go through these spells where I'll tweet all day long for several days and then go several days without tweeting at all. Sometimes I'm funny, or as funny as I know how to be. Sometimes I'm completely random, and sometimes I'm stuck in the middle of Vent Fest 2009.

One thing I haven't tried yet is Sponsored Tweets from Izea. Sponsored Tweets allows you to get paid to tweet. "Cool kids" like Kim Kardashian, Holly Madison, Bob Villa, and Leanne Rhimes and regular bloggers like you and me participate in Sponsored Tweets every day. All you have to do to join them is sign up for sponsored tweets at SponsoredTweets.com; set your advertising price, category, and keywords; and wait for advertisers to send you opportunities to tweet. Here is an example of how you do that:

You have the ability to accept or reject each offer that you are presented, and you can choose to write your own copy as well. You just have to comply with the new FTC guidelines by adding a disclosure statement to each sponsored tweet. Once you accept and tweet, your account will be credited within 24 hours. You can cash out that account once the balance reaches $50.
