How to make money from your Twitter account
Ever wanted to monetize twitter? Make money through your data.
Here are methods in which you can quick quick money.
Tip Jar
The quickest way to monetize your Twitter account is to set up Tip Jar.
Tip Jar is basically a way for your followers to monetarily “tip” you via some of the most popular payment platforms online. It essentially works like popular bio link tools like Linktree, except it’s built right into Twitter.
Simply tap “Edit profile” on your Twitter profile page. If the feature is available to you, you’ll be able to turn on Tip Jar right in that menu. From there, you would set up the payment options for those who’d like to throw you a tip. Tip Jar currently works with Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, Patreon, and Bandcamp.
After Tip Jar is all set up, anyone who lands on your profile can just click the little Tip Jar icon, choose the payment option of their choice, and be taken directly to your personal link where they can send you money on that platform.
Super Follows
Super Follows is Twitter’s version of a membership or subscription monetization model. Creators who have Super Follows activated can charge users a monthly fee for bonus content.
Twitter allows creators to set their subscription price point at either $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99. Creators take 97 percent of the revenue, up until they reach $50,000 in lifetime sales. After that, Twitter raises its cut and creators bring in 80 percent of the revenue.
Once someone subscribes to a Twitter user and becomes a Super Follower, they receive a badge that denotes them as a Super Follower of an account. Creators can send tweets and personal replies that only Super Followers can see.
Here’s where you can apply to implement these new monetization features. Credit: Twitter
If Super Follows is available to you, just hit the hamburger menu icon in your Twitter app to open up the main sidebar menu. Tap “Monetization” then tap “Super Follows,” and fill out the application. If your application gets approved, you’ll need to accept Twitter’s “Super Follows Creator Terms.” Some qualifying applicants might be waitlisted if they aren’t in the test group.
Ticketed Spaces

If events are more of your thing, then you should look into Ticketed Spaces.
Twitter Spaces is the platform’s built-in version of the popular mobile app Clubhouse. It’s basically a live audio chat and it’s proven to be fairly successful on Twitter for the few months it’s been live on the platform.
The Spaces feature has been so successful that Twitter has rolled out a monetization feature for it, and that’s why this feature is called “Ticketed Spaces.” If you have at least 1,000 followers, and run three Spaces a month, you can charge users to attend one of these live audio chat sessions.
To apply to run Ticketed Spaces and charge for your Twitter Spaces events, simply click the “Monetization” button on the main menu, tap “Ticketed Spaces,” and fill out the application. If approved, you’ll need to open and link a Stripe account to use Ticketed Spaces.
Once that’s all squared away, you can charge per ticket for your Spaces event. Unlike a regular Spaces chat, a host can limit the audience size in a Ticketed Space. Like Super Follows, creators can make up to 97 percent of the revenue on their Spaces depending on their lifetime earnings.
