If you live in Malaysia or Singapore and use
Twitter to keep in touch online, good news is you can make some extra money by signing up with
Churp Churp, an advertising platform to send tweets to your Twitter account so you can earn money from the ads.
Signing up is easy. Once you have signed up, wait for the assigned campaigns for you and when you receive the assignments, you send a tweet to your Twitter account through Churp Churp in order to make sure that you earn the money through the ads.
Important details:You need to follow the guidelines given for each assignments or else you risk losing the chance to earn money.
You must send the tweets through Churp Churp website or else the tweets don’t count. This is because Churp Churp team will have to review your tweets before they post it on your Twitter account.
You will have to wait about 24 hours after your tweets go online in order to see the amount of earnings.
Malaysians and Singaporeans might be getting different type of campaigns depending on the target by the advertisers.
How much can you earn with one tweet?It is difficult to say but according to my own experience, my very first tweet earned me RM2.92. I am not sure if this is a good start as there might be other Twitterers who are earning more than this figure from one tweet. One thing for sure it takes some time to earn RM100. Be patient.
How much money you have to make before you can cash out?RM100.
Yes this is a huge amount, but then again, this is a side income not main stream so it is a good thing to know that you are earning money passively. You might reach RM100 after a few months and by that time, you would be happy to know that you are getting an additional RM100.
Nationality Validity? Only Malaysians and Singaporeans can join for now. More Asian countries would be available soon (according to the founder).
Worth It?It depends on how you see the big picture. You don’t get new campaigns every day. You don’t get to cash out immediately. However, you have nothing much to do except to write a 140-character message containing the ad details and post it.
Basically, this is a side job that seems like a growing a tree. You plant a seed, you water it and take good care of it, after a few months, it grows into a tree and bears fruit so you can harvest the fruits. You get what I mean.
You decide whether it is worth to try or not.
