How Much Does Twitter/X Really Pay? (My First Paycheck)
Howto & Style
Introduction
About a month ago, I posted a video detailing my journey to achieve 5 million impressions on Twitter, as well as my attempt to get monetized within 30 days. It’s been roughly a month since I released those videos, and today I want to share the updates regarding my progress.
Initial Stats
For those who might have missed it, here were my stats from one month ago. These metrics serve as a benchmark for how my account was performing before I began actively pursuing monetization and impression goals.
Current Stats
Now, after a month of growing my Twitter account, you would expect that I would have easily crossed the 5 million impression mark to qualify for monetization. However, that’s unfortunately not the case. After paying for two months of Twitter Premium, there’s been an observable decline in the impressions I’ve received over the past month.
Since I started this journey, I have noticed that to even have a shot at getting monetized, I would need to consider investing in another month of Twitter Premium, without any guarantee of getting paid for my efforts.
Factors Behind the Decline
One of the most significant factors contributing to this downturn is that the ability to generate views seems increasingly difficult. My replies are garnering far fewer impressions compared to the numbers I was achieving a month ago. As a result, my motivation dwindled. I found myself posting less frequently and losing interest in the platform.
Decision Point
My Twitter Premium subscription is set to expire in just three days, and I face a dilemma about whether to invest money into another month to continue my quest for monetization. Throughout my research, I've come across various insights into how much Twitter actually compensates creators, and the general consensus suggests it might not be worth the investment.
I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. If you're curious about how much Twitter pays its creators, let me know! I'm happy to share my insights, particularly if you’re also on a path to grow your Twitter presence.
