Selling Twitter Accounts: Encashing Twitter Followers

April 14th, 2008
ADVERTISEMENTS

Selling your Twitter account is the new way to make money online. Its not easy to get followers on Twitter who spend time reading your tweets. However, famous bloggers can attract a lot of followers who read every word about what these blogebrities are doing right now. So what happens if they sell these Twitter accounts…

It started when reports appeared that Rocketboom founder Andrew Baron decided to sell his Twitter account, including the followers on ebay.

It would be silly to just delete this account I have here, especially if there is someone out there that had like interests and had something to say or wanted to get involved in some relevant conversations. In terms of monetary value, I have no expectations or needs at all so I decided not to put a minimum bid on this. Whatever will be, will be. The winner of this auction gets my account with all of my followers.

Luckily Twitter allows you to change the name of the account at anytime. So anyone who buys this Twitter account can easily change name and get this ‘pre-installed audience’. Ideally these followers should start unsubscribing when the owner changes, but instead followers have increased from 1397 to 1582 right now as the buzz gets across. The auction bid which started at $0.99 has has rocketed to $1125 now with still 8 days to go… Anything sells, you just need the right buzz. Its surprising that Twitter allows this sale…

Would you sell your followers like this to earn a few dollars? We won’t. Follow us on Twitter.

Update: Is he getting second thoughts? – “Darn it. Starting to get kinda attached to this account all of a sudden. People are communicating with me on Twitter for the first time.”

    As a top Twitter business user, I was sent an advance copy of the Tweet Adder System for my review. This is by far the best Networking Tool I have used for Twitter!

  2. Wow, upto $1k+ for a twitter account. That must’ve been insanely lucky. People’re selling twitter followers – for about 1k – $80 nowadays.
