"Can you earn money with Twitter?" That's a question I have been asked a fair couple of times by now. I don't mind the question at all. It seems like there is not much specific information publicly available on some of the metrics, at least I couldn't find any that went beyond vague speculations. So here we go, a little bit of my personal experience - and if you'd like more info on it, you can DM me anytime. First of all, the answer to the question "Can you earn money with Twitter?" will depend on many factors. First: Your expectation - what do you consider a worthwhile amount? Obviously, that's a very subjective answer. Second: Your patience, dedication, consistence, and passion. I know that might sound generic, but if you give it your best shot for a few weeks, you will not see much of a difference. If you are willing to stick with it for 3-6 months, you will see progress (small, but visible) - which will hopefully give you enough motivation to keep going. Third: Verified followers and active followers. Those two metrics really matter a lot. If you see an account with 100k followers, that person might have only 1k verified followers. Another account with 5k followers might have 2k verified followers. Guess which one will earn more? The 2k verified follower one. That means: Check your followers every 3-4 weeks, and drop the ones that are inactive, look like bots, or follow thousands of accounts while having under 100 followers - those are most likely bots anyway. In other words: Raw follower numbers mean very little, verified followers and active followers mean a lot more (you can see both stats in your analytics, see screenshot). Now to the actual numbers - which I assume vary depending on your niche as well as the 2 factors above, among others. I hover around 2 million impressions per 2-week-span, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. I have 14.6k followers (13.3k active ones, by Twitter's measure). My verified follower count is around 20% (2.9k). The way I understand it is that the revenue is tied to impressions and interaction between you and your verified followers. Unverified followers count too but to a much smaller degree - which doesn't mean you should ignore them... many people chose to not get the checkmark but are still nice people and worth while your time, of course. My earnings are around US$ 400 for a 2 week span. If you do a simple conversion from impressions to US$, it comes to around 5k impressions per US$ 1 earnings. Keep in mind, that needs to be taxed as part of your income, so it's probably going to be more around 8k impressions per US$ 1 net earnings. So, to answer the question in a simple way: Yes, you can earn money with Twitter. But, is it worth it in terms of hourly rate? Nope, not at all. I usually spend on average 20 hours per week on Twitter (I schedule all my posts over the weekend and public holidays, not during the work days) - so around 40 hours per 2 week span - meaning the hourly rate is somewhere around US$ 10/hour (before tax). That's below minimum wage where I live. I'd be getting more for stacking shelves at a supermarket. If you do it for the money, you won't find happiness here. You will forever be chasing that elusive viral post and become a slave to the algo. Don't do that. Do it for the fun, connect with people, share your thoughts and memories, be nice, help when people ask - if you focus on that you will be in a much better place. And then the extra money is a nice bonus. DM me if you want to discuss more.
