From Farm Fields to Viral Tweets: How A Publisher Made $21K+ with SmartLinks [Case Study]
When you scroll through viral Twitter posts, you probably don’t imagine that behind some of them is a man who once worked 16-hour shifts on a cattle farm, earning just $48 a month.
He wanted more — not just a better job, but a better life. And today, that same man is turning trending Twitter content into real income. He has already achieved $21K+ in profit… and counting — proving that persistence, curiosity, and the right platform can transform your future.
How Did the Story Begin?
Our publisher comes from Pakistan, and he used to work long, exhausting shifts on a cattle farm for very little pay. But he wasn’t ready to settle for that life. Driven by the hope for something more, he began searching for reliable ways to earn online.
At first, he followed YouTube tutorials and tried platforms like Google AdSense, but the results weren’t there. Then, thanks to his friends, he discovered Monetag.
I came across Monetag through my friends who were already working with it. Later, I found more information on Facebook and YouTube.
He decided to give it a try — and as you can already tell, it was worth it.
Mistakes, Lessons, and the First Breakthrough
The beginning wasn’t easy. It took him six months to start earning money. Like many beginners, he faced common struggles along the way.
I didn’t know how to make short links. I didn’t understand the Twitter algorithm, and that’s why it took me a long time to make my posts go viral and get higher traffic. I started working with several Twitter accounts but they didn’t give me enough reach.
These early setbacks slowed him down, but they also taught him valuable lessons. Step by step, he learned how Twitter works, how to build reliable accounts, and how to turn viral posts into real profit. Here are his overall earnings with Monetag:
Note: The publisher works with SmartLinks (Direct Links), displayed as OnClick in Monetag’s statistics.
His earnings fluctuate from month to month, which is common when working with social traffic. The biggest spike came in September 2025, when he posted about trending topics and pushed his profit above $6,000.
Posts about famous personalities proved to get more reach, for example, I posted about a football match.
Sure, a viral post can bring in massive attention, but that’s not something that happens every day. Here’s how the publisher’s daily earnings look:
His biggest daily profit was gained exactly when he managed to share the most engaging content. His posts usually look simple, similar to this:
The Strategy: How to Drive Twitter Traffic to SmartLink
The publisher’s approach is straightforward but demanding — he spends up to 12 hours a day working on it. First, he searches for viral content – usually about celebrities, big matches, and other trending topics – posts them on Twitter, and monetizes the traffic using Monetag SmartLink.
To give each post an initial boost, he uses his smaller accounts to like and repost the content, while also encouraging his followers to share. At the same time, he carefully chooses content that performs best in countries with higher CPMs and reach.
To strengthen his results even more, he uses AI to translate his content into multiple languages and invests in accounts from different countries to reach GEOs with stronger CPMs.
Here’s how various GEOs performed:
Indonesia is his biggest earner thanks to massive traffic volume, bringing the highest overall profit despite lower CPMs. Meanwhile, GEOs like the US, France, UK, and Chile stand out with significantly higher CPMs.
Final Words from Our Publisher
When asked why he works with Monetag, the publisher summed it up clearly:
The staff at Monetag is supportive, CPM rates are high, and payment methods are much better compared to AdSense. My manager is friendly, and payment withdrawals are the best.
And if he had one piece of advice for new publishers aiming for the same success, it would be this:
“Stick to your work, never lose hope, and just keep on working.”
So next time you’re asking yourself if you can do it, remember his words and know: yes, you can! With Monetag by your side, you’re already one step closer.
