Of all common social media platforms, I find Twitter as the most tricky of them all. Twitter is fun and games but for the new user with a few non-engaging followers.

Unlike Facebook and Instagram, Twitter is not easy to adopt, and that means it is underused. Today, I’ll take you through ways of making money from this ambiguous social media app, Twitter.
