Some people (like us) may not consider Kim Kardashian a star but this celebrity makes a ton Tweeting on Twitter!
The Daily Mail reports that Kardashian earns a whopping $10,000 per tweet when she promotes companies. Kardashian, who has 2.7 million followers , earns the big bucks as part of her contract with in-stream advertising company Ad.ly, which helps celebrities make money off their Twitter accounts.
Usually the celebs are limited to one such commercial tweet per day.
Kardashian promotes Reebok and Carl’s Jr., among other companies, and five of her last 30 tweets mention one of the companies.
What’s interesting about this is Twitter itself with 60 million users does not sell advertising space and is still not profitable. So what is going on with Twitter? Thoughts?

Twitter is afraid to start selling advertising because they are in a 155 million dollar debt and if they don’t get the money they want for advertising they are over.

Twitter won’t go broke and it won’t be over. They will be able to get limitless funding from people who think that it is the only rival to facebook. Kim Kardashian is just smart to make money off of her Twitter success

It’s crazy that Twitter is not making any money. Kim is smart that way, she has alot of followers.

not sure how “smart” you have to be to say YES to people who offer you money… that being Kim. Twitter may need to sell ads if they’re that deep in debt. Interesting blog.
