NEW DELHI: Owner of the tweeter account @UberFacts, Brooklyn-based Kris Sanchez makes a moolah for tweeting sponsored links.
The links, when clicked by his followers, earn him between $.01-.03 per click, according to Fast Company, a New York-based firm that inspires a new breed of innovative and creative thought leaders.
"I joined Twitter to follow Britney Spears. But I did not have anything to tweet about. So I figured, hey, tweeting these facts would be a really good idea. It was just so I could feel like I was closer to her," Sanchez told Fast Company.
This is how he makes his millions.
A company called Social Reactor pairs social media influencers with advertisers, supplies him with galleries or other web pages that Sanchez links to in his Tweets.
