Tipit.to
Tipit.to helps twitter members transfer funds to each other. This is great service for all blog owners as it will help them earn more income from their blogs. The idea is to put a tip jar at your blog. If you write good quality contents, your readers would be more willing to give you a little token for a job well done. The tip jar will serve as a reminder that this gesture is allowed in your blog. Many readers do really give tips. They find it better than paying for someone to do the work for them. The information provided that they badly need at the moment is worth more than any amount of tip they could give. Once your audience will start sending these tips through tipit.to, the few cents would eventually be accumulated into a bigger amount. Sometimes, it would even be higher than the few cents you earn daily from adsense.

Aside from these wonderful services, some sites emerged not only to earn money but also to help twitter members more. These micropayment sites through twitter have provided twitter users another great opportunity. The twitter donation, tip me and tip joy buttons are really useful for blog owners. These may be small sites and still in beta now but who knows? They could be big giants in the future. We are given these opportunities and as bloggers, webmasters and online businessmen, we just have to make the best of our stay. At the same time, let us kick some cash and start earning money.
