How sweet would it be to work for Kanye West as his Twitter ghostwriter? (Wikimedia Images)

Britney Spears, Kanye West…do you honestly think Hollywood's hottest celebrities have the time or talent to maintain a Twitter or Facebook account? Not bloody likely.

Even though you may use Twitter or Facebook to connect and share with friends and family, celebrities, musicians, politicians and even a lot of businesses are using it as a way of "interacting" with fans, supporters and potential customers. Smell a little fishy to you?

Maybe.

While they may THINK they've discovered this great new way to market their products to an otherwise untouchable audience, you can turn the tables on them and pitch your services — as one who Twitters.

Britney Spears took an ad out a short while ago, looking for someone to maintain her Twitter and Facebook accounts. Can you imagine ghost-Twittering for her? Or for Lindsay Lohan?

Twitter for money. Why not?

Most of those big-time celebs don't have the time of day to putz around with microblogs so they hire people to do that sort of grunt work for them. So be it. You have to think that there are tons of companies and celebs looking to expand their marketing reach and you may be JUST the person to help them out.

But then there are those stars who insist they do all the Twitter and Facebook messages themselves. Take NBA star Shaquille O'Neal. He's got something like 450,000 followers and he says that having a Twitter account lets him bypass all the media so he can go one-on-one with his fans.

"If I am going to speak, it will come from me," O'Neal tells the New York Times.

Is he ever tempted to get someone else to Twitter for him? "It's 140 characters. It's so few characters. If you need a ghostwriter for that, I feel sorry for you."

Lance Armstrong is another avid Twitter fan. Immediately after breaking his right collar bone, he tweeted about it — using his left hand.

Team Bodog poker pros David Williams, Evelyn Ng, Justin Bonomo and Jean-Robert Bellande ALL tweet and you can follow them as they play their way to the Main Event at the 2009 WSOP. Get live updates from the 2009 WSOP!

I'm just saying…if you're looking for a cool new job or something to make a few bucks on the side, there are probably loads of celebs and businesses looking for someone to manage their Twitter and Facebook accounts — as a ghostwriter, if you will.

Bodog's got another way for you to make a few bucks: entertainment props.
