BuySellAds: Sponsored Tweets that really Works

July 21, 2011 - Last Modified: January 24, 2013 by Hesham Zebida 1,600

BuySellAds Sponsored Tweets

Back to March 2011, Buy Sell Ads added new advertising options to the popular ads network. At the beginning I thought the Sponsored Tweets won’t work well, but after receiving a few sponsored tweets requests from advertisers in the network. I saw the performance in my stats, it was really amazing, I changed my mind completely!

Now, I am thinking more about banner ads vs social media advertising model as a regular publisher on the BSA network.

I am going to share some stats to make it clear, you will see how sponsored tweets can get you more traffic or clicks on your ads without having to pay more, and getting the tweets out on a particular time of your choice!

The power of BSA Sponsored Tweets

As I said above, the sponsored tweets’ performance is really amazing. Let’s imagine that you found the perfect blog to buy a banner ad, this banner ad price -for example- is $100 / month, and it gets you from 50 to 200 clicks / month.

Now, watch this…

As you can see above, the Sponsored Tweets’ performance is way higher, and there are a few advantages of advertising through a social site like Twitter than just buying a banner ad, these advantages like:

  • Sponsored tweets could save you money
  • Get more clicks and drive more visits
  • Tweet your campaign on time!
Let’s see how thing can be done perfectly:

Sponsored tweets save you money

I realized that sponsored tweets can really save a lot of money, especially in big advertising campaigns. You can simply pay the same amount of money, and start getting huge traffic right a way. And, to make things better, I suggest you pick a few different twitter accounts (publishers) to advertise though, not focusing on only one publisher, this should increase performance as you will promote your links to many different followers.

Get more Clicks and drive more visits

The trick here is to actually carefully write your tweet, you need to make it interesting and more appealing to get more clicks. I suggest you do a performance an A/B test for the tweets, then stick with the one that get your more clicks, this can be done in the text and link as well, you can test the conversion of your landing page (for example: Send people to home page or buy now page).

Tweeting your campaign on time

You can schedule sponsored tweets and send it in particular day and time (for example: you product launch day), this is a big difference between banner ads and social media advertising. While banner ads are not really controllable, Social Media simply allow you to choose when exactly to get the clicks, it’s really different way of promotion and create awareness of your site or new product.

How it works!

Publisher selling tweets will have total control over ad approval, content, pricing, and frequency. It takes only a couple minutes for publishers to get setup, and on the advertiser side it’s about the same – only a couple minutes to purchase a sponsored tweet.

Now you have it!

I hope this my thoughts explains to you the difference between banner advertising and social media advertising models. However, ads performance deffer from profile to another. I remember I had a big success when I promoted my Drupal design bookmarking site through BSA 125×125 banner ads, that was before they include Sponsored Tweets to the mix.

The most important thing here is that you must test performance with a few dollars before shaking you wallet as an advertiser.

Please, add a comment, I hope to hear some opinions and thoughts based on your own experience.

    I think you have got huge fan following on twitter and this is one of the best point of attracting advertisers. My blog is just approved by them and lets see what will work for me. Thanks for the info and I will look at this option in future for sure....
    • Hesham says:
      The secret it not in how many followers you've got, but main;y how much you engage and reply to them, which something that many can not do! Thanks for stopping by!
  9. DiTesco says:
    This is solid advice Hesham. I for one can happily say that my sponsored tweets ads on BSA have been performing really well. I probably got over 30 offers since I started about two months ago. While this may not seem a lot, it leaves Sponsored Tweets way behind. One of the key factors I think is the price per tweet too. I have seen prices there that do not justify what they are asking... so start low and move it up, step by step
    • Hesham says:
      You are the man, glad to hear that you are doing well at BSA, they are awesome! Good advice, testing the market is good thing to do!
  10. Julia says:
    Looks like very interesting service. What about quality of this traffic? Are they really targetted?
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Julia, I am not sure yet about quality of traffic, this is what I will discover when I purchase a few sponsored tweets myself! This should be well targeted, remember.. you choose which Twitter Ids to purchase from, so you should check their influences and followers!
  11. Blazing Minds says:
    I've sold quite a few Sponsored Tweets via BuySellAds, I like the fact that the buyer can decide when the tweet is to go out and that you can just sit back and let it go, that's if you approve it of course ;)
    • Hesham says:
      That's great Karen, Actually, most of the tweets I've got was really decent that I had to approve them all, hope same happen with you. Enjoy your tweets :)
  12. Vijayraj Reddy says:
    i too have sold around 10 Sponsored Tweets so far and looking forward to more advertisers...
    • Hesham says:
      Great! keep rocking.
  13. Justin Germino says:
    Very interesting, I have been listed on BSA with my Twitter profile but haven't received offers yet.
    • Hesham says:
      Hi Justin, I actually got around 6 advertisers so far, I hope this increase awareness on BSA Twitter ads!
