Twittad allows to monetize Twitter using ad-supported background images. Then, If you’ve got an online following via Twitter, you can now make money with TwittAd. Instead of selling space on yourself, Twittad lets you earn money by renting the background space on your Twitter account to advertisers. The company is allowing Twitter users to make their page backgrounds available to the highest bidder. Each listing includes the number of followers, the duration, and the price. Advertisers can then purchase the spots, with Twitter ad collecting a 5% commission on the transaction. So far there aren’t enough transactions completed to estimate the average value of a Twitter follower over a given time period, but this example of a recently sold ad spot for an account with 250 followers went for $5 for one month. It claims that currently there are 134 active Twitter users on Twittad willing to sell their profile with a total Twittad community of 276 users as of 9:00 pm central tonight. As well as 19 advertisers on board who purchased 4 profiles this afternoon.

Here’s the process:
1 Post Twitter account for advertisers to purchase
2 Select your duration & price
3 Wait for advertiser to purchase
4 Accept or Deny the proposed ad
5 If you accept, upload ad to the design section on your Twitter account
6 Notify TwittAd through your account maintenance page on TwittAd that the ad has been placed
If you have a lot of twitter followers, you could be making some interesting revenue.
