 <title>My Monetization/Business Plan for Twitter</title>
 <link>http://www.kai-mai.com/node/163</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Looks like it&#039;s trendy to talk about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/01/twitter-is-a-cash-cow-in-the-making.html&quot;&gt;how Twitter can make money&lt;/a&gt;.  There are already &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alleyinsider.com/2009/1/11-twitter-business-plans-for-your-review&quot;&gt;user-contributed business plans&lt;/a&gt; for Twitter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I haven&#039;t looked into details of all these plans/blogs.  But I do have some thoughts about how I&#039;d go about monetizing Twitter as if I am Twitter&#039;s product manager:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
First,  I&#039;d just forget about conventional online advertising(CPC/CPM).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt; people are on twitter to have conversations.  If you are an advertiser that only cares about getting people off Twitter and go to your site, you don&#039;t really use Twitter&#039;s conversation workflow to market.  You are working against Twitter users&#039; behavior.
&lt;/ul&gt;
