Creative Way to Sell a Marketing Twitter Account?

by WebCoach
7 replies
I'm looking for a creative way to sell a Twitter account with almost 5,000 followers. I know you can't actually sell Twitter accounts, but how about if I offered something else (like marketing videos) and threw in the account?

I guess I could list my offer in the Warrior classifieds and elsewhere. What would the value be for such an offer featuring targeted Twitter followers? Here is the account...

Online Marketing (MarketingFlash) on Twitter

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

      Daryl,

      You need to read the TOS of Twitter a little closer...

      "..you will not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade or resellthe Services for any purpose.


      This means you can't offer your Twitter account to someone else in any way, shape or form.

        I wonder how they plan to apply that to businesses. EZA, for example, has an account. If EZA were to be bought out by another company, is Twitter going to force EZA to open a brand new account and start over?

        Dan's content is irregularly read by handfuls of people. Join the elite few by reading his blog: dcrBlogs.com, following him on Twitter: dcrTweets.com or reading his fiction: dcrWrites.com but NOT by Clicking Here!

        Dan also writes content for hire, but you can't afford him anyway.

    That is always a way around these kinds of restrictions.

    EZA is a corporation.

    A corporation is a person.

    When you sell a corporation, you are really just changing the stock holders of record. The corporation remains the same person it always was.

    That is the way to transfer a Clickbank account, bank account, Twitter account, PayPal account or anything else that is supposedly "non-transferrable." You don't transfer it. It stays under the same ownership it always has... the corporation.

    You just change who controls that corporation.

    It only costs $50 to set up a corp. This is why you spend that $50.

    Plus not losing your house, car, boat and the college funds of your kids when someone sues your Internet marketing business.

    The reason it came up was because I have no use for the Twitter account any longer, but I worked to get almost 5,000 targeted followers (I weeded out lots of junk followers). I would like to let someone else benefit from the account and not simply delete it.

    I recently sold a blog for a few thousand dollars. The blog was new and didn't have a lot of traffic, but it had a Twitter account associated with it with 15,000 followers. The buyer bought the blog to get access to the Twitter account; which added value to the blog. The blog without the account would only bring a few hundred dollars. See my point?

    So sell the corporation rather than the Twitter account. Once of the assets of the corporation is the Twitter account.

    That way the Twitter account is never transferred in any way. It was, still is, and will always be the Twitter account of the corporation.
