Or…maybe you never thought about making money on Twitter.  You just use it to give the latest update in your life and that’s it.

Well, I’ve come across a few ways to generate income from your Twitter account and I want to share them.  Now, I’m not saying that you will be able to retire from a Twitter income but hey…income is income.
