Need some inspiration for your Twitter monetization efforts? What if we told you it could bring you $41k+ in profit, paired with Monetag?
This is a real story from one of Monetag’s publishers from Vietnam, who shared a detailed guide on the Twitter workflow. So this case study is about how just a few simple steps can transform you into a Gold-level publisher (the one who earns from $1400 to $7000 for 14 days within our Priority Program) from a low-paid administrative worker.
Yes, it wasn’t clickbait: this publisher used to have an administrative job in Vietnam with a low salary. Two years ago, he decided to turn things around – and began researching various forums on advertising. This way, he learned about Direct Links (Smartlinks) – and found them the simplest way to go. After reading some guides on how to make money with Direct Links from Monetag, he decided to try it out.
Today, he works with social media traffic from Twitter and knows the ropes of how to make his posts go viral and monetize his subscribers. Here are his overall earnings with Monetag:
Note: The publisher works with Smartlinks (Direct Links), and it’s reflected as Onclick in Monetag’s statistics.
Overall, the publisher’s earnings fluctuate from month to month — such volatility is common when working with social traffic. The biggest profit he’s seen so far was in December 2024:
Some more figures: as you see, the highest CPMs come from Thailand and Vietnam. The third place comes to the United States, and it means you don’t need to exclusively focus on users from the USA or Canada to drive the top quality, expensive traffic:
The publisher runs an account where he posts viral videos – a post looks very simple, like this:
The content comes from various social platforms: the publisher monitors trending videos and viral posts on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter itself – and picks the funniest, emotional, or shocking ones to get inspired and create similar ones. And, after some time, subscribers began sending him exclusive content for publication. After the post is ready, he publishes it with a link to his blog.
Note: the main account needs some time to ‘gain enough reliability’, as our publisher says.
“Twitter’s algorithm is very special: content is important, but not enough, and you also need a reliable account – the one that has been active for at least two months, shows consistent behavior, and builds trust with the platform. Without that, even great content won’t reach its full potential. Twitter doesn’t care much what your content is. They only care if your account is trustworthy.”
The second step is giving a little initial push to a new post. Twitter can easily make a post viral thanks to its recommendations engine, but you can give it the first boost with the help of your followers. It means, having more followers is better in this case: they’re the first ones to see your tweet, like it, and share.
Besides, the publisher involves his teams to support the post from different sides. With the help of a network of accounts – including his own additional profiles – he gives a post the first boost with reposts and likes. After that, the algorithms start spreading this content quickly: it can reach 50-100k views in just 1-2 hours.
As users interact with the posts, they follow a link that the publisher adds right under each tweet. The link leads to a blog filled with entertaining content, and, most importantly, this content includes SmartLinks from Monetag.
Then it happens automatically: users follow a SmartLink, which shows them the best suitable offer depending on their GEO, device, and behavior.
‘Be patient and pay more attention to everything: you are working on a platform and you have to follow its rules. What’s more, it’s social media, so it will constantly change, and you need to adapt to it. Overall, there’s no general formula: just be flexible and gain experience.’
And, most importantly, remember that Monetag is already doing part of the hard work for you: giving you the huge offer feed within its Smartlink, filtering bad ads, and maximizing your CPM. All you need to do is bring traffic.
So next time you’re scrolling through memes and trending posts, ask yourself: why not turn that into a full-time income?
