A new company, TwitPub, wants to encourage you to shutdown the public view of your Twitter account and get paid for your tweets. Sound Good? Of course it sounds good! How many people wouldn’t want to get paid for something they already do?
Making money is great, especially when you don’t have to change your habits, but honestly, do you think you can produce enough unique, life-changing content that will revolutionize someones thought process? Do you think there’s enough people out there who feel they can’t find anything better without paying for it? Not likely… I know there’s a lot of great tweets but honestly, I can’t imagine paying to read any of them – there are too many “other” sources for the information I need.
While I don’t see value nor a market for this site, I do salute them for their innovation and I wish them well. It’d be great to see this business model take off, I know they’ve put a lot of time, energy and hard work into launching this new advertising platform.
Just in case anyone out there thinks they can benefit from TwitPub, jump on over, check out their site and give them a call. It never hurts to try – who knows, we may all be surprised. This may be the next big online ad model.
