Twitter announced superfollow, a new feature that offers its users the possibility of monetizing the content they publish on the social network. This will be thanks to the payment of a subscription that will give access to exclusive content and other advantages. Something very similar to what Patreon has been offering for some time now or more recently proposals such as OnlyFans. If you want to know more details, then we tell you all about super followers and paid Twitter.
What are Twitter super followers
We have been talking for some time about the possibility of Twitter introducing a new subscription model on its platform. A payment option that, yes, we were not clear if it would be to access exclusive tools (such as the demanded possibility to edit tweets among others) or for other types of functionalities.
Well, in the end it was the second thing and what the popular social network has ended up with is called superfollow. This new option will allow users of the platform to monetize their content without having to resort to other services, which in part also implies taking away that special content, which is what then really adds value to a platform.
How will they achieve this, because with a very simple model to what we have been seeing for a long time on platforms such as Patreon or OnlyFans among others similar. So that the user who believes that they can offer valuable content and get paid for it will have the option of activating a paid subscription.
Thus, all followers who want to have access to the advantages it offers will simply have to subscribe and they will become Super Followers.
Benefits and price of the Super Follow subscription
From what Twitter has shared, the subscription as Super Follow will be associated with a series of advantages that the rest of the followers of that profile will not have. These are: access to exclusive content, discounts on purchases, a newsletter with a summary of the content published as well as access to an also exclusive community where only those other subscribed followers will be.
About the price, these new Twitter subscriptions will cost 4,99 dollars per month. It is unknown if there will be other options or the possibility of establishing each one the price that it deems appropriate. That will be something we will see once the new feature is officially released. Because for the moment it is still in the testing phase and it is not very clear if it will be something that any Twitter profile can access or it will be reserved for certain accounts.
It must be said that these subscriptions can be canceled at any time, but by doing so you will lose the privileges you had while paying. Something logical that I don't think surprises anyone at this point.
Who is Super Follow for?
Super Follow is a feature that anyone with an active and shared Twitter profile content of interest could take advantage Either as a new option to continue generating income or directly to start doing so if your main activity has always been in said network.
However, it is true that it seems that profiles like content creators, influencers and the media they would be natural candidates to start taking advantage of this new feature. Another thing is that they manage to convince their followers that it is worth paying.
Because that is the risk that Twitter faces with this new feature: segmentation. Until now there were two types of profiles, public and private, but beyond that on Twitter there had always been the idea that if they gave you access to follow an account you would not have any limitation on what you shared on the platform.
With this subscription option there should not be many problems, because it is similar to if you decide to take some content to other platforms for this purpose such as Patreon. But sometimes the way in which these changes are assumed can be surprising.
So, until it is something officially established, we will not be able to assess your Super Follow, it is a good or bad idea. Because, yes, new is not at all.
