Now, earn money on Twitter! ‘Super Follows’ to be a subscription-based model.
Anyone, including activists, journalists, musicians, content curators, writers, gamers, astrology enthusiasts, skincare and beauty experts, comedians, fantasy sports experts, and more, who sign up for this can offer subscriber-only tweets.
Twitter on Wednesday launched Super Follows, a feature that allows select users to charge others for access to subscriber-only content.
This new feature will finally allow its most popular users to generate revenue from their followers, but access to Super Follows is limited.
Here’s how you can qualify and apply for access to set up your account for Super Follows.
Super Follows: Earn Online Money Twitter.
Twitter is rolling out a new feature that will allow creators to earn money from their tweets. Super Follows will allow creators to earn from their subscriber-only tweets from Super Followers.
“Today, we’re excited to introduce Super Follows, a new way for people to earn monthly revenue by sharing subscriber-only content with their followers on Twitter.
With Super Follows, people can create an extra level of conversation on Twitter (sharing bonus Tweets and more!) to interact authentically with their most engaged followers — all while earning money,” stated the micro-blogging site.

Anyone, including activists, journalists, musicians, content curators, writers, gamers, astrology enthusiasts, skincare and beauty experts, comedians, fantasy sports experts, and more, who sign up for this can offer subscriber-only tweets.
It would help if you mentioned that public tweets would remain as it is.
Applications for Twitter users to gain access to Super Followers and Ticketed Spaces, paid audio chat rooms, launched in June. Users will be given 97% of the revenue generated from the monetized features after in-app purchase fees. However, once an individual user makes $50,000 in lifetime earnings from Twitter, the company will take 20%. In addition, to become eligible for the Super Follows waitlist, a user needs to have at least 10,000.
How to qualify for Super Follows
Not everyone will be able to set up Super Follows for accounts. So it’s only open to users who:
- Have at least 10,000 followers. If you haven’t hit that milestone yet, you’re going to have to keep tweeting for free.
- Have tweeted at least 25 times within the last 30 days. If you aren’t creating regular content, step aside.
- Are based in the U.S.
- Are least 18 years old.
How to apply
If you meet the qualifications, applying will be easy.
Open up the Twitter app and swipe the screen to the right to pull up a menu. Toward the bottom of that menu, you will see “Monetization.”
Tap on that, and then tap on “Super Follows.”
This will take you to a screen that explains how Super Follows works and how much you could earn by monetizing your Twitter account.
For example, I could earn nearly $900 a month from Twitter if I priced my Super Follows at $4.99 per month and 2% of my nearly 13,000 followers subscribed, according to Twitter. (This is purely hypothetical, as CNBC doesn’t allow reporters to earn money this way.)
Tap on “Check eligibility” at the bottom of the screen, and that’ll take you to a screen that shows if you qualify. If so, you can tap on the “Apply” button.
Twitter will ask you to verify you are 18 or older, and it will ask you to complete your profile and turn on two-factor authentication for your account.
After that, Twitter will ask you what content category you’ll be making, such as art, comedy, or gaming. It will also ask you what other platforms you are on, including Twitch, Facebook, and OnlyFans.
Finally, the application asks you to describe how you plan to use Super Follows. Applicants can also fill out an “About you” description of themselves and list their gender and ethnicity, although these are not required. Once filled out, users hit “Apply.”

After the application
It’s unclear how long users have to wait to be accepted after submitting their application, but Twitter said that users who apply for Super Follows would join the waitlist in its announcement.
Users whose applications are accepted will be able to set their subscription price as either $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99.
Once you have a Super Follows account, you’ll be able to designate every tweet as either for regular followers or for paying followers only:
Your followers will be able to sign up by clicking a purple icon with a human and a star next to the follow button on your profile.
That’s it! Now you can finally earn some money from your Twitter habit.
The Bottom Line
Through Super Follows, netizens can set up a monthly subscription of say $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99 to monetize content for their most engaged followers.
On the other hand, followers will get special access to their tweets, previews, and subscriber-only conversations.
A small group of people in the US who have applied can set up a Super Follows subscription. To be eligible for the waitlist, creators must have 10K or more followers, be at least 18 years old, and must have tweeted at least 25 times in the last 30 days.
