Hey! I’m fascinated by how I’ve recently turned Twitter into a legitimate source of income. After connecting with dozens of writers who have made the platform work financially (and try multiple methods by themselves), I put together this guide to share what actually works.
Let me be a reality – it takes time to build the following, but that’s the basis for everything else to depend on. But the key is more than just a number.
I noticed that the most successful writers did not try to attract everyone. Instead, they delve into specific topics that demonstrate their expertise. For example, my friend who wrote about the productivity of creative professionals has only 3500 followers, but has more Twitter followers than another average follower I know.
- Focus on consistently publishing topics about you
- Really interact with others in your niche
- Strategically use relevant tags (but don’t overuse)
- Share personal insights, only you can provide
This is one of my most reliable ways to monetize Twitter. Your Twitter presence is the perfect “free sample” that convinces people to subscribe to your more in-depth paid content.
