Why should I use Ad.ly?
Publishers are using Twitter as their main platform for content creation and distribution. "Tweets" are valuable pieces of content that require time and hard work to produce. There is a need for publishers to be compensated for the content they create on Twitter, just as they are on most other platforms. The most logical form of compensation for this content comes in the form of advertising. Ad.ly helps you get compensated for your hard work creating content on Twitter.
Can I change my price after I set it?
You can change your price at any time by visiting your settings from the publisher dashboard.
How does an advertiser contact me?
When Ad.ly connects you with an advertiser, you will receive a request from the advertiser in your internal dashboard, which you can approve or deny. The request will also be sent to you via email to the address you used when you signed up.
How is an Ad.ly ad disclosed?
The end of every Ad.ly tweet (except tweets for charity) is marked with "(Ad)" notifying your audience that this is an advertisement. In order to ensure authenticity, every Ad.ly Tweet has to be explicitly approved by the Twitter publisher and is disclosed as an ad.
How do I tweet for charity?
With Ad.ly you can donate part or all of your earnings to charity. When you're tweeting for charity, the end of the approved ads in your feed will be disclosed with (Ad 4 Charity).
If I approve an advertiser message, when will the ad show up in my stream?
The ad will show up in your stream at a randomized time for the day it was approved.
