Background: choosing Twitter and building a strategy

The publisher started making money through social media because, as he says, "social media is so easy." After his attempts to monetize through Facebook failed, he found Twitter to be particularly easy.

Unlike fan websites, Twitter's algorithm works quickly to get your content in front of the people who want to see it most. Without all the hard work of ranking in Google search. Tempting!

In addition to gaining instant visibility and engagement, generating traffic from Twitter doesn't require any technical skills. That's right, the Monetag publisher didn't create a landing page or website to drive traffic. His blog seemed to be enough.

Moneytag can use direct links to Twitter, they don't need to create landing pages, - he claims.

To ensure maximum engagement, the publisher of Monetag uses hashtags and keywords to capture hot topics and trends, especially interesting facts and stories about famous people, and engaging content shared online, such as new photos or videos.

“If a famous person shares something new or interesting about their life, people search for it on Twitter. I use relevant keywords and hashtags in my tweets and write articles with those hashtags. I encourage users to click on the link to read the full version of the article on my blog.”

Here is an example of a Monetag publisher's generic post-performance, meaning this is their typical result for most tweets. Keep in mind that all posts perform differently and the amount of clicks may vary, so the screenshot below is just an example of one of them.

Monetag Publisher’s results are no joke. As it scaled this engagement-driven strategy, it achieved a remarkable milestone on April 24.

"It was April 2024 when I earned almost $8k."

Meanwhile, one of his most successful posts achieved impressive metrics with 195K impressions, 49,819 engagements, and 6,973 link clicks.

Not too shabby for a simple Tweet! Want to repeat his success? Continue reading to find some tips.

Publisher advice for monetizing Twitter traffic

Based on these impressive results, Monetag publisher has some valuable advice for those looking to monetize Twitter traffic effectively.

Stay adaptable to earn big

One key lesson is to stay adaptable to platform changes. Recently, Twitter updated its policies, banning direct ad links in tweets. Monetag publisher quickly realized this shift and adjusted his strategy faster than his competitors. All of his actions complied with Twitter’s rules, his posts were successfully passing moderation, and he didn’t get any complaints (and still doesn’t get any).

Instead of posting direct ad links, he started linking to his blog, where the Monetag SmartLinks was set. This quick pivot allowed him to continue driving traffic, stay ahead of the competition, and earn up to $8K in April.

"Twitter had an update in April. And my competitor was late to understand the algorithm."

That was a good chance for me. At that time, Twitter was not allowing the use of direct links. Only some posts were allowed if we change the domain of the direct link. And that time I redirect my blogger to the direct link of my Monetag.”

How to Get the Most Expensive Twitter Traffic and Monetize It

Use unique hashtags

To generate significant traffic quickly, it’s crucial to use unique hashtags.

When people engage with a post, it generates a lot of traffic in a short period of time. For this, Monetag try to use unique hashtags that are not used by the original source,” he explains

This strategy ensures that your posts stand out and reach a broader audience, because hashtags used by larger accounts would most likely lead users to those larger accounts, instead of yours.

Choose Twitter for fast progress

If you want to see quick results, Twitter is the platform to focus on.

Facebook is a platform where it takes time to make your video go viral. On the contrary, on Twitter, if you have a good account, you use a trending hashtag, then your post goes to the top at the same time.

The real-time nature of Twitter’s algorithm helps in getting immediate traction for your posts.

Keep on moving

Persistence is key to success. Keep experimenting and learning from your experiences to master Twitter over time.

“For the new users, I would say one thing that if they have started, they should continue. Earlier, it was very difficult for me to generate 1K impressions. Slowly, I understand the algorithm of Twitter and generate a good volume of traffic.”
