As many other Twitter users we've been trying to earn some extra cash on our Twitter tweets using be-a-magpie.com, and as many others we've been disappointed by the complete lack of earnings

Be-a-magpie.com is a service where advertisers will pay you to tweet their messages to your followers. That way you will earn some money doing this and the advertisers get a broader audience (your followers attention).

In theory this sounds extremely good, but in reality it hasn't been working with be-a-magpie.com. Since we started using them we've only seen their standard ad promoting their own affiliate program where you as the tweeter will get percentage on the income generated by the users you've referred. But since they don't seem to have any advertisers at all none of the users you refer will ever earn any money . Because of that their affiliate program is completely worthless….

We're not the only one thinking this. Just have  a look at the message we got from birdynumnumz on Twitter:

@xaviermedia that magpie thing is a dud, why bother tweeting that crap any longer?

We've dropped be-a-magpie.com for good and will look for other ways to earn money using Twitter.
