Twitter Wednesday released Super Follows, a feature that allows certain users to charge other users for content access only for subscribers.
This new feature will eventually allow the company’s most popular users to generate revenue from its followers, but access to Super Follows is limited.
Here’s how you can qualify and request access to set up your account for Super Follows.
How to qualify for Super Follows
Not everyone will be able to set up Super Follows for accounts. It is only open to users who:
- Have at least 10,000 followers. If you haven’t reached this milestone yet, you should keep tweeting for free.
- You’ve tweeted at least 25 times in the last 30 days. If you don’t create regular content, set it aside.
- They are based in the US
- Be at least 18 years old.
How to apply
If you meet the requirements, applying will be easy.
Open the Twitter app and swipe right to display a menu. Towards the bottom of this menu you will see “Monetization”.
Since I have over 10,000 followers, it allows me to set up a super follower account.
Screenshot
Click on it, then click “Super Follows.”
This will take you to a screen that explains how Super Follows works and how much you could earn by earning revenue on your Twitter account.
For example, I could make almost $ 900 a month with Twitter if I had a price of my Super Follows at $ 4.99 a month and 2% of my nearly 13,000 followers subscribed, according to Twitter. (This is purely hypothetical, as CNBC does not allow journalists to make money this way).
Tap “Check for fitness” at the bottom of the screen and you’ll be taken to a screen that shows you if you meet the requirements. If so, you can tap the “Apply” button.
Twitter will ask you to verify that you are 18 or older and will ask you to complete your profile and enable two-factor authentication for your account.
Then Twitter will ask you what category of content you will make, such as art, comedy, or games. It will also ask you what other platforms you are on, including Twitch, Facebook, and OnlyFans.
Finally, the app asks you to describe how you plan to use Super Follows. Applicants may also fill out a “About You” description and indicate their gender and ethnicity, although they are not required. Once completed, users click “Submit Request”.
After the application
It is unclear how long users will have to wait to be accepted after submitting the request, but in its announcement, Twitter said users requesting Super Follows will be added to the list. just wait.
Users with accepted applications will be able to set the subscription price as $ 2.99, $ 4.99 or $ 9.99.
Once you have a Super Follows account, you can designate all tweets for regular followers or only for paying followers:
Your followers will be able to sign up by clicking on a purple icon with a human and a star next to your profile tracking button.
This is! Now you can finally make money with your Twitter habit.
