ACTOR CHARLIE SHEEN is enjoying his Twitter success so much he needs help with his social media network.

Sheen posted a link to the internship application form earlier today, tweeting: “I’m looking to hire a #winning INTERN with #TigerBlood. Apply here –http://bit.ly/hykQQF #TigerBloodIntern #internship #ad”

The ad description for the “unique” internship reads:

Do you have #TigerBlood? Are you all about #Winning? Can you #PlanBetter than anyone else? If so, we want you on #TeamSheen as our social media #TigerBloodIntern!

Sheen broke records for generating one million followers in the shortest time. The actor now has over two million followers, despite only joining Twitter a week ago.

The AP reports that the internship is a paid-for endorsement from Internships.com and arranged through ad.ly. Although the companies would not discuss their financial arrangements, such endorsements can earn celebrities anything from $1,000 to $50,000 per tweet.

Sheen’s verified Twitter account was reportedly fast-tracked with the assistance of ad.ly.
