Affiliate Programs on Twitter. You Tweeting to Affiliates Yet?

Over a year ago — soon after starting to play with Twitter — I recorded a video on using Twitter as an affiliate program support tool. Are you using it as one?

Since it’s Friday again, I have decided to put together a list of Twitter accounts maintained by 20 online merchants (on both sides of the Atlantic) to support their affiliate programs. This is a good list both for affiliates to follow, and for affiliate program managers to pick up ideas from. The order is merely alphabetical, and the descriptions were copied directly from each account (some of them will give you ideas for what you may include there; caution: flee from sounding cheesy).

And here is the list:

1. Amazon — Official twitter of Amazon’s affiliate program, launched in 1996. Earn up to 15% by advertising Amazon products!
