Twitter is a very popular micro blogging site used by millions, but I wonder how twitter is running without any ads or any paid service yet. So how does twitter make money? The answer is simple, Twitter does not make money, but many make money using twitter.

Twitter is funded by Venture-capital investors, who funds such great projects, even Google got funding from them.

In fact is twitter has different investors. Twitter can make money in different ways like displaying ads on the status pages, adding pro accounts, etc. This post at downloadsquad gives some great tips to twitter to make money.

According to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, Twitter is still building itself and now the time has come when twitter will be starting some special services which will be targeted to corporate customers and even small business people.

Stone outlines of a plan to get corporate giants like Whole Foods, Best Buy, Jet Blue and Comcast, along with small businesses, like New York City cookie shops, to pay Twitter for professional services related to generating Twitter traffic for commercial purposes. He says Twitter this year will begin selling what sounds like subscription services to businesses.

"Twitter will remain free for everyone, but we may be able to offer an additional layer of value to some of these commercial accounts," says Stone. "Whether it’s through analytics, ‘How can I Twitter better?’ Or whether it’s through some sort of certification, you know, ‘How can we make sure everybody knows that this is definitely JetBlue and not someone pretending to be JetBlue?’

Its time now for Twitter to start off to make money as they have got a strong user base. Another important step needs to be taken is to secure Twitter from the web security threats because if they are starting paid services, then they cannot afford to get hacked by some hackers.
