# Get Paid to Use Twitter Linkbee Puts Ads in Your Tweets By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-06-29 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkbee-puts-ads-on-shortened-urls References: [venturebeat](http://venturebeat.com/2008/06/25/linkbee-pays-you-to-shorten-urls-and-put-ads-on-top-of-them/) & [linkbee](http://linkbee.com/) It you tweet a lot and have a lot of followers, Linkbee.com is launching beta that will put ads along with a [URL chopper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/url-shortener). It works just like TinyURL, but when you post any link, it will attach a banner ad or put an ad before the page to which you link will be displayed. The banner ad lays over the top of the linked page. Payouts require a high volume of tweets. The most annoying part (aside from needing 4,000 banner ad displays to make $1) is the referral plans. [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linktree-1) could get real ugly if Linkbee catches on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Banner Ad Links:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating more visually appealing and less obtrusive banner ad links for social media platforms. - **Crowdsourced Advertising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating a crowdsourced advertising platform for social media influencers to monetize their following. - **Personalized Sponsorships:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating personalized sponsorship opportunities for individuals based on their social media following and engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Social Media Advertising:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in social media advertising industry by creating new models for monetizing user-generated content. - **Influencer Marketing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in influencer marketing industry by creating more efficient and personalized forms of monetizing social media influence. - **Online Advertising Networks:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in online advertising networks by creating more dynamic and effective ways to distribute ads on social media platforms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Task-Based Monetization Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkewards.md) - [Content Paywall Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linktree-1.md) - [Promotional Link-Sharing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superlink.md) - [Social Media Tipping Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-tipping-features.md) - [All-in-One Link Management](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkee.md) - [AI-Powered URL Shortening](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-url.md) - [Bio Link Managers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meebio.md) - [Link Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lynklet.md) - [Creator Marketing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affiliate-creatives.md)
