RevTwt.com: Twitter Scam or Money Maker?

by Josh Lam
Update: I now recommend MyLikes. You can make 5 times as much per click with MyLikes, as compared to RevTwt. Read the Blog Post about MyLikes here

Once again, there’s another Twitter Advertising Network on the interwebs. Many people think their website looks too scammy to be true. Well, we’re going to find out.
Similar to Magpie, RevTwt advertising are placed as a tweet, which is displayed on your Twitter Profile. There are no disclaimers for the ads, so your followers may find it hard to distinguish between ads and real tweets. Unlike Magpie though, RevTwt pays per click, not per view (a.k.a. Pay-Per-Tweet). This allows the system to be more open to click fraud, like Google AdSense, although their system in place seems to be able to detect fraud pretty well, by looking at RevTwt’s Twitter profile.

Anyways, back to the experiment. In RevTwt, I entered my (test) Twitter account information and set it to automatically post an ad a day. This Twitter account has more than 22,000 followers. I was given the title of an “Elite Twitterer”, since I had over 8,000 followers (Which isn’t hard to do). Being an Elite Twitterer, I was given access to special adverts, wish paid more than the normal adverts. The highest is 20 cents a click, although the wherether the click is counted are based on a per country basis, which is different for each advert.

Simple math can show that if you tweet an advert worth 20 cents per click and get 10 clicks, you’ll get 2 dollars a day. That’s not much, but that amounts to $62 per month, or $744 a year! That $62 could cover your monthly phone bill easily, or it could even pay for a pretty nice meal.


Well here’s my verdict: RevTwt is NOT a Scam.

I’ve made a total of $71.69 from RevTwt so far, but I’m sure I could make even more if I tried even harder, e.g. placing more adverts.

I’m not asking you to buy anything. Nor am I asking you to pay me for this information. But I suggest that you check out RevTwt – it’s one of those money makers that need little no work at all, except you should tweet often (hopefully you already do), and requesting payment (don’t forget to check) once you hit the $20 payment threshold. Done.

    Hey, Josh, that’s so cool! I’ve heard some people say that people can do these things because of the Net, but really, it’s effort, determination, creativity, etc. I think if you’d been in high school with me (30 yrs ago! whoa!), you would have been just as driven to do something just as awesome as what you did with Google AdSense.

    Thanks for posting, and I definitely want to learn more from you!

      It depends which day of the week you withdrew from. You have to withdraw on a Monday before a certain time for them to to send it on Friday on the same week. So wait one more week and see what happens.

      Hi, RevTwt pays you after you reach $20 in your account. $100 is only if you want to get paid by check.

    Well thank you for this blog post! I also belong to Twitter and I also belong to Revtwt. I was just searching online for more information about this program – more specifically how many ad posts one is allowed per day. It seems I can’t find a specific answer to this because Revtwt has gotten rid of the auto-post thingie and I think that those who have a small number of followers can only post one ad per day. Please let me know the answer to this?

      You’re Welcome! I think you’re allowed 1 ad per hour. You can still use their RevMail and RevFeed program to feed your ads into your Twitter stream. Hope that helps!

  18. Hi, I’m thinking about advertising on your site, how much do you charge per month?

    Reply
    • Jan 14 2010

      Hi, It depends if your site is gambling-related or not.

      It’s $10 for the 125×125 button, or $15 for the 468×60 leaderboard.

    Good day, sun shines!
    There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
    I have never imagined that there weren’t any need in big initial investment.
    Now, I feel good, I begin to get real income.
    It’s all about how to select a proper companion who uses your funds in a right way – that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.

    You can ask, if there are such firms? I’m obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are.

    Seems quite a genuine site, but is it not hard to get clicks on ads by twitter followers?

    How do the get paid per view site works?

    Nice write up

    Reply
    • Feb 23 2010

      If your ads topics (which you can choose) are related to your tweets, it shouldn’t be that hard.

      RevTwt doesn’t seem to do Pay Per View tweets anymore, but the payment was based on your number of followers, and you had to keep your tweet up (i.e. undeleted) for 48 hours.

      Thanks! :) Hope that helps.

    Nice post, I’ve tried using Revtwt before I posted 3 ads with about 1600 followers and made about a dollar. I’ve always been scared of being banned from Twitter for posting too many ads, I’ve heard if you keep it to around 20% you’ll be fine.

    I AGREE!! Revtwt is NOT a scam, I’ve been getting weekly deposits in my paypal for a bit now….not tons of $$$, but it’s nice to see it trickle for a couple seconds of effort.

    Yeaaah, RevTwt is ok if you have 10s of thousands of followers. I had an account like that but it got banned, LOL (ok maybe not LOL!) but I was making $20/day with it. If you bought a massive twitter account off somebody that had a well looked after, entertained following you could easily make $50 a day!

    Honestly,

      Yes, I totally agree with you. Consider switching to MyLikes though, they pay a MUCH higher rate at around 0.40 per click, while Revtwt is around 0.075per click.

      Oh yeah, nice co.cc referrals on your site btws. I used to do that :D

      Still pays out (as of Oct 2010). You need to reach a threshold of $20 before you can get paid. You have currently earned $1 :)
