Monetizing social networking sites: A three-step guide for novices

Posted on March 25, 2019

Not everyone is super Internet savvy and that's okay. In this three-step guide, we want to help people who are just starting out with social networking sites to learn how they can monetize their time online.

As a novice, we expect you have some idea about a lot of different social media sites but haven't mastered using any of them yet.

That's why this guide has broken down how to work with social networking sites in three easy steps with the goal of monetization down the road.

Step #1

1. Check the requirements

The first step to monetizing a social networking site is understanding what the requirements are for monetization so you know what to work towards.

For example, to put ads in YouTube videos you need a minimum of 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of annual watch time. For Twitter on the other hand, there is no minimum number of followers you need. You simply need to make yourself appealing to brands so they'll want to work with you.

Step #2

2. Connect with followers

Monetizing social networking sites is a good goal, but it can take time to achieve, so maybe it's more of a long-term goal. If you want to start earning money today, we recommend putting your influencer status to use with charged communication.

Callmart has created a platform where influencers just like you can charge their supporters to have a chat with them on the app. A lot of loyal followers will love to have an opportunity to get to know you personally like this, so it's a great money making opportunity. Plus, you'll get to know your follower base better!

Step #3

3. Apply for monetization

Now that you know the requirements and you've built up a following, you'll be ready to apply to monetize your social networking sites!

With YouTube, it's as simple as enabling monetization through your account settings. Twitter on the other hand doesn't have a setting for monetization — you simply need to start reaching out to brands for promotion deals.
