Moderation is key for most users - some people just have no sense. You do have total control over for whom you tweet and how it reads, and there’s always a disclosure.

Other than read different points of view I haven't looked into it much. Not being much into Twitter, it doesn't make sense. Still, I don't see it as much different from affiliate marketing. If you're **selective** about anything with a potential conflict of interest, I think you should be fine. Of course, I don't know how selective you can be with sponsored tweeting.

Thanks! Hi Ms. Freeman,

Do you have a screen shot of the Sponsored Tweet – I was wondering what is sent through ST ?

Thanks!

I am enrolled in ST, but have only tweeted once for $1. My followers can tell the difference between my tweets and the sponsored ones so I am not worried about them getting confused. I just wish I could make more money from the program. .-= Ms. Freeman´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.freemanlegacyllc.com/2009/12/google-takes-scammers-court/">Google Takes Scammers to Court!</a> =-.

I really don't mind the odd ad tweet in my stream but I have seen some people send out an ad every other tweet. No only does it deter you from the Tweeter but also the service they are using (in my opinion).

In other words, be Keith, who knows everything there is to know about fence stuff. Know anybody I could get some fence stuff from? Ha, there's this guy on Twitter who knows more about fence stuff that Bubba did about shrimp - Keith, I think, is his name. Just my thoughts, bro.

What I wrestle more with is the fact that I started a second account (@FenceProducts) to promote my business. I am having trouble sending out too much noise about "buy fence stuff from me!" and am still used to just trying to discover, converse, and network. So I hope to find a happy medium with this side of Twitter because I really do enjoy using it. .-= Keith @ Superior Fence Products´s last blog ..<a href="http://buy-fence.com/vinyl/vinyl-vs-wood-fencing/">Vinyl Vs Wood Fencing</a> =-.
