Think your Tweets are priceless? Starting today, you could make over $50,000 by making your followers pay up to see your Tweets

Starting today, you can apply to be one of Twitter’s first users of its new Ticketed Spaces and Super Follows with your audience.

Twitter is looking for a few users to trial the new features with their audiences before its released more broadly in the coming months. However, at this point the applications are only open to mobile users in the US with over 10,000 followers.

Twitter will take 3% of the cut until $50,000 profit, and $20,000 after

Hosts can earn up to 97% of the revenue from subscriptions, with Twitter not taking more than 3% until they earn over $50,000. After this point, Twitter’s share increases to up to 20% of future earnings. 

To apply to be part of the test groups, open Twitter and navigate to the sidebar, then tap Monetization to learn more and see if you’re eligible.

The company also recently introduced a tipping feature, and is integrating paid newsletters into its service.

Ticketed Spaces

Twitter’s Ticketed Spaces are an exclusive one-time-only event offered to groups between 5 and 100 people. The admission fees to the live-audio conversation events will range from $1 – $999.

Twitter says the feature will ‘facilitate closer connections between the host and their followers.’ The feature also makes Spaces more competitive with Clubhouse, which doesn’t yet have a ticketing feature.

Super Followers

Similarly, the Super Follow feature allows hosts to develop a more direct relationship with their most dedicated followers.

The system will work in a similar way to Only Fans, with followers paying to see exclusive content. Hosts can opt for price points of $2.99, $4.99 or $9.99 per month.

While it does allow hosts to charge for Tweets, Twitter has encouraged creators to get creative with their offerings. . For example, a creator could offer subscribers exclusive access to Q&A sessions.

What will Twitter Blue subscribers get?

Earlier this month, Twitter also started rolling out their new premium subscription service, ‘Twitter Blue‘ in a bid to monetise the platform.

The feature is in its trial stages in Australia and Canada. The new subscription will give followers a host of premium features and perks, similar to Patreon for $4.50 AUD a month.
