Nope. We're not owned or affiliated with Twitter. Phew, glad I got that out in the open.
Sure. You can start the conversation on your own without ever paying us a dime. In fact, you're required to be a twitter user to advertise with us, we can help you if you haven't signed up. We just want to speed up the process by introducing you around a bit.

What does betweeted do exactly?
We provide a system where Advertisers can compensate Twitter users for introducing a specific URL to their followers, presumably with some level of personal recommendation and introduction. We also encourage the inclusion of that advertiser's Twitter Username by means of an @reply or RT function that will ultimately build followers for the advertiser. The catch is, however, that twitterers are paid based on click-throughs, not impressions. So, we deliver real results for advertisers and weed out spamming Twitterers by rewarding only socially-friendly behavior.
How is this any different from other services, such as Be-A-Magpie?
We believe in using social media responsibly to propagate brands and other commercial messages. All of our tweets are 100% manually triggered by real live Twitter users. We do not automatically feed spam links into Twitter accounts. Furthermore, because our compensation model is based per click, not per impression, we reward Twitterers who select links relevant to their followers and make genuine recommendations. Spammers will quickly lose followers and certainly lose click-throughs—a natural weed-out process.
Isn't this highly criticized by Social Media experts?
Yes and no. There is a group of idealists that wish to see zero commercial messaging in the Twittosphere. However, the fact is Twitter users are already tweeting links to companies, articles, causes, and promotions that are important to them and relevant to their followers. Why shouldn't they be able to find content that also pays them for sharing? Ultimately, the black-hats of the Social Media world are the spammers, indiscriminately posting links without any social interaction. Betweeted is not designed to reward those users. We want to see a Twittosphere that helps businesses grow in a socially responsible manner
How is this any different from traditional affiliate links or PPC?
The difference is in the quality of the click. Twitter offers a new venue for sharing personally-recommended content with trusted friends and followers who have opted in to receiving such updates. Along with the "what a day" and "I just saw the best movie!!" types of tweets that our users share, they also share links to Advertiser's messages which they have chosen to share. What could be better?
How much does betweeted charge for its services?
We charge a straight 25% commission on all per-click fees. So, if an advertiser pays $1.00 for a click, the twitterer will be paid $0.75 for click-throughs resulting from their tweet. Simple as that. No additional costs involved.
Could a skilled social media expert accomplish similar traffic without betweeted?
In theory, yes. In fact, we require a twitter username to accompany every Advertiser's links: that means, they need to be using Twitter already to build a following. What we provide is an expedited way to increase that exposure, build a following, and leverage the followers of other spheres of influence that you may never have been able to reach otherwise.
What's the benefit to Twitter users?
The real benefit is they don’t get spammed about random junk they don’t want. They hear from their friends about ideas and products that they may actually be interested in. There is a big difference between someone saying, ‘hey I know your into music, did you hear about musicbuddy5’…vs. make millions in minutes with our bla bla bla. We just don’t like spam. Twitter users appreciate our model because we don't "hijack" your Twitter account without your permission. Twitter users can make money while maintaining 100% control over the content that they choose to share.
What's the benefit to Advertisers?
Advertisers get personally introduced into other sphere's of influence that they may have never been able to tap. The result is higher-quality click-throughs and a broader reach for future followers. This all adds up to great targeted exposure at a lower cost that’s within your budget.
