Subscriptions
Subscriptions
Subscriptions lets you offer a monthly subscription that can help you earn revenue and connect with your fans on Twitter on a deeper level.
With Subscriptions you can monetize your following where they already live, right on Twitter. Subscriptions can help you earn monthly revenue by sharing an extra level of content and conversation with your biggest supporters on Twitter.
Please note: Subscriptions is currently testing with a small group in the US and on iOS and Android. Watch this space for more details once this product is widely available.
Monetize
Take home up to 97% of monthly subscription revenue after fees.*
Connect
Get even closer to your biggest supporters by offering bonus content and interaction.
Customize
Get creative with benefits your audience will love at a price they can afford.
“Subscriptions is by far the best [platform] because it’s the easiest way to communicate with [my] people. They don't have to leave the app, it's all in one place.”
Features & functionality
Set your subscription price
Customize your subscription by offering perks your audience will love at a price point they can afford. For a monthly subscription of $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99 USD, subscribers will see Tweets you post just for them and be able to join subscriber-only conversations. FYI, Twitter uses Stripe to offer payouts for creators, so you’ll need to create or link a Stripe account to get paid.
Deepen your connection
Be your real self with your biggest supporters. Share unfiltered thoughts, early previews, and have subscriber-only conversations with followers who know you best. Identify and interact with your biggest supporters by looking for the Subscription badge when they reply to you.
Go beyond a Tweet
Wondering what to include in your Subscriptions content? There’s a lot you can fit into a Tweet. Create threads, post polls, share links to your website, portfolio, or online store. Start conversations, ask your fans questions, or go beyond 280 characters by sharing voice Tweets.
