Hello,

I do not currently have a Twitter account and I just have some basic questions because I want to make one for fun/practice (just in case I ever start my own business or something, I'll already be used to tweeting and it won't come off as such a hassle).

1.) Is there any way to directly make money off of Twitter? I know that you can set up a store on Facebook, have people click on ads if you have a blog, sell stuff on Instagram, etc. But is their anyway to directly make money on Twitter (other than perhaps you write a whole bunch of funny shyt and then some Magazine or Newspaper reaches out to you and contracts you to write something for them)?

2.) Is there anyway to schedule tweets? For example, I can write an email today, but schedule it to be sent out 3 days later. Can I do that with Tweets? Can I write something tonight and then have it post/go public tomorrow morning?

3.) Is it true that it looks bad if my "followers" # is significantly less than my "following" #?

4.) Do people post photos on Twitter at all (maybe at least link to photos), or is that all reserved for Instagram?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

3.) It always looks better to have more people follow you, but there's levels to it. I heard some people follow others just to get followed back, and then delete the people they followed so it makes it look like their follow-to-followed ratio is better than it really is. I've also heard that people buy followers.

4.) Yes people post photos on twitter but I think instagram is better for that:yeshrug:







edit:
With reference to question 3, it could be more of an instagram thing with those strategies but I'm not 100%
