7 Steps to Building a Twitter Side Hustle in 30 Days

In today’s world of social media most people are consumers. They scroll, like, and move on. But those who decide to create can turn this into serious money. Even better, you can make money from a Twitter side hustle in as little as 30 days.

You can build a Twitter side hustle while going to school or working a full-time job. It takes 30 minutes of work a day when done correctly.

I personally have amassed a following of 109k followers on Twitter, now called X. Most people think it’s simply a place to post your thoughts or share funny memes. The reality is you can pull in a high 5 to 6 figures a year if you follow the steps below.

How to Start a Twitter Side Hustle Step by Step

Your main issue will be identifying what kind of account to create. This is the first roadblock where most people stop. So I am going to break it down step by step for you.

1. Create Your Twitter (X) Account

Obviously without a Twitter aka X account you won’t be able to create content. Step one is to go sign up for a free account. If you have the budget, I would pay for premium which runs you $8 per month (price may change based on Elon Musk and the team. It’s worth it). However, you can absolutely make money without it.

2. Follow 5 Accounts for Inspiration

From there, follow 5 accounts you like. If you are not big into Twitter, just look at authors, bloggers, and YouTubers you already consume. This will give you an idea of the types of content doing well while giving you content ideas.

3. Study Their Content for One Week

Before you post anything, spend a week paying attention to what these 5 accounts are putting out. Watch what gets engagement and what falls flat. Screenshot or bookmark tweets that stand out to you. You are not copying. You are training your eye to recognize what works on the platform before you start creating.

This step is where most people skip ahead and wonder why their content flops. Give yourself the week. It will save you months of guessing.

4. Identify What Content Performs Best

Now that you have been watching these accounts, you will start to see patterns. Certain types of tweets consistently get more likes and reposts than others. Pay attention to the format, the length, and the topics.

Make a Google Doc with links to 20 tweets per account. This will come in handy when you start creating your own content and need ideas to pull from.

5. Post 3 to 5 Times a Day

Now take a look at the list you have built. Every day you are going to wake up and pick 3 to 5 tweets from your research.

From there, use the idea behind the tweet to create your own version. More than likely you will make this harder than it really is in the beginning. Just post the content. Everyone’s content is rough when they are just getting started.

You will get better in time if you do not quit.

6. Leave 10 Replies a Day

Since you are a new account you will have zero followers. That means nobody will be engaging with your tweets. To fix this you need to start establishing yourself within other people’s audiences.

Start leaving replies under people’s tweets on X. My recommendation is to add something to the conversation. Do not just reply with “good one bro.” Either add your take on what they said or find a way to expand on their point.

Once again, this will feel difficult if you overthink it. Just leave a reply and move on. Aim for 10 replies every single day. In time more people will begin following you because they will see your reply and if you added something of value, they will check out your account.

On top of this, the person you replied to may repost you to their entire audience. Meaning their followers will see you too.

7. Link to an Offer

This is where your Twitter side hustle starts paying you. You need to link to an offer. This can be your own product or an affiliate offer. I would encourage you to pick an affiliate offer to get started quickly. Every time someone buys you get paid, and even better you do not need to spend time creating the product yourself.
