It's all about target marketing. I remember some tweets I would make hundreds of dollars and on most of my tweets I was getting $5-$10 epc. The beauty of Twitter is the power of the warm leads in its search. If they can effectively monetize that, there could be light at the end of the tunnel!

People can make money from Tweeting? Really? Like YouTube creators? I had no idea.

There's a whole marketplace of influence out there, if you only start asking the right people. Want a cute but not overly bright reality TV star to tweet about your handbag company? There's a price for that. Looking instead for a popular recording artist to mention your viral video? Pricier, but very doable. Of course, Twitter doesn't get a share of this money.

Which is why they should charge for usage above X followers. You can't send unlimited emails to a 1mil person email list for free so why should you be able to do your marketing for free on twitter?
