Making Money with X (the old Twitter) in 2024

Twitter may have changed, but X still offers huge opportunities for earning money if you know how to use it right.

Be subscribed to X Premium or Verified Organizations.

YouTube sensation MrBeast said he made over $263,000 from a single post on X — but added that it’s a “bit of a facade” and that others would have a hard time raking in such profits on the Elon Musk-owned platform.

Here is how some creators and entrepreneurs are making money with and on X.

Tiffany Fong, a Crypto influencer with 100,000 followers who interviews bad boys of Crypto and covers the frauds of Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinskiy, recently posted that she received $269.08 within two weeks of posting.

In a recent video post on X, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, shared that he earned a whopping $263,000 from a single post on Elon Musk's platform. However, he admitted that others might not have the same success on the platform. In the video, titled "$1 vs $100,000,000 Car!", Donaldson test drives a range of luxury cars ranging from a $1 "rust bucket" to a $20 million McLaren F1, which he drove alongside Jay Leno.

A week after the video went live, Donaldson shared a screenshot of the post's performance, showing nearly 160 million impressions and over 5 million engagements. He also revealed that advertisers bought ads on the video, leading to higher revenue per view than what might be expected.

MY FIRST X VIDEO MADE OVER $250,000! 😲

But it’s a bit of a facade. Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience pic.twitter.com/nViVpZbWBb

He also turned around and just gave ten people $25K each for reposting his X post, a free lottery ticket that paid well. So, regardless of what you do, go to X, open an account, and start learning and earning, too. https://twitter.com/MrBeast
