Kim Tweets For Cash

For celebs, making money off your name gets easier all the time. Now Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden and Audrina Patridge have signed endorsement deals for their Twitter accounts.

The Wrap reports L.A. based ad agency Ad.ly has set up a new viral marketing strategy that hooks up famous names with advertisers and pays them for the number of followers on Twitter who view their ads. Ad.ly publicist Kyle Hulcher explained, “It’s an easy way to make money. It’s a natural fit for celebrities because the more people who read you the more money you can make—and they tend to have the most followers.” Too bad we unknown folks can’t make money that easily.
