What is Super Follows?

In their blog post, Twitter reiterated that people can now earn monthly cash by sharing subscriber-only material with their followers. In addition, you may use Super Follows to take your Twitter conversations to the next level by posting bonus Tweets and interacting authentically with your most engaged followers, while earning money.

So, whether you are an activist, an expert in gardening, an artist, a gamer, or a famous model like Gigi Hadid, as long as you’re above 18, in the US, and your followers are 10,000 and over, you can sign-up for this feature. One more thing, you need to have posted at least 25 Tweets in the last 30 days. This would be an easy hurdle for some, take large retailers like Acme for example; it’s easy for them to post about different products daily or put up their Acme weekly ad and talk about what’s on promotion every day.
