I write to inquire if successful twitter accounts get sponsorship revenue from third parties [not twitter itself] based on the volume of followers. If so, I would like to know about good examples.

As asked whether third parties pay for sponsored tweets: yes — brands routinely hire social accounts, but payment depends far more on audience fit and measurable engagement than raw follower counts. Compensation comes in several forms (one-off sponsored posts, campaign packages, affiliate commissions, product/experience exchanges, or longer-term ambassadorships). As suggested, perceived trust helps, but data is what closes deals: impressions, click-throughs, conversion rates and audience demographics matter to advertisers.

Practical steps to turn a following into sponsorships: assemble a simple media kit with audience demographics, average impressions, engagement rate (interactions divided by audience size), typical post formats, and case examples. Track campaign performance with UTM-tagged links and screen-capture reports so brands can see results. Use influencer marketplaces or outreach to relevant niche brands, and negotiate whether payment is per-post, per-campaign, or performance-based. As and implied, even smaller, well-targeted followings can attract offers if engagement is strong.

Follow disclosure rules: paid promotions must be clearly identified per regulatory guidance — keep disclosures obvious and unambiguous. For background on disclosure expectations and general social media use data, see the FTC guidance on endorsements and the Pew Research social-media fact sheet.

I dont now. God question. Follow the twitter celebrities and see - follow Guy Kawasaki, and anyone with over 10,000 followers. I did read an article the other day about a fashion sponsorship for female twitterers in nyc with over 1,000 followers, so its possible.

I'm sure it's possible. If you have a **lot** of followers, advertisers would be willing to pay to have you tweet about them, because it would seem to be more of a testimonial from a "trusted" source.
