Hard things can get harder.
My partner's Twitter account was monetized after approximately four weeks. She had been attempting to do this for over four years with no success until I came along, worked my magic, and completed it for her. I got 5M impressions within 4 weeks, averaging at least 200k impressions per day.
This was part of the job description, and despite falling behind on other tasks, we completed it.
For me, it was not as difficult because I did my research on how I needed to generate impressions and discovered that football and politics were the most popular niches, and because I knew football and politics were my passions, it did not take long for me to get her account monetized; it was like having fun and friendly conversation while generating impressions, and now she is waiting for the first payout in about three weeks, or maybe a little longer.
The job does not end there; we need to be affiliated with accounts that have premium or premium+ subscriptions, and if everything goes well, I may be able to earn money from the monthly subscription depending on how long I want to do business with her.
I have also known myself to be a hard worker; generating 5 million impressions in four weeks is no small feat. I was focused because it was her personal goal, and while I wanted a share of the money, it was a challenge I set for myself to meet for her.
So, even if I only earned $100 per month, which is peanuts, it is money that I know will come in every month for sending out 10 to 20 tweets to premium subscribers per day.
It is basically a web2 9 to 5 job; obviously, I have to show up for other duties; money is not guaranteed, but monetization cash is guaranteed every month; unless I decide to quit, that is the end of my career.
Although I was exhausted at first due to the volume of work we had to do, I adjusted well and that was that. Okay, we have not made any money yet, but in a few days or a week, we will know if that changes.
I am still learning how to do other aspects of the job, but one thing I trust is my resilience. I realize I push myself too hard most of the time, but the bills must be paid.
I stopped working 9 to 5 in 2018, and it was not on purpose; my body was not able to keep going, I was hospitalized on a regular basis, and my boss could not take my emergency off days any longer.
The safety of 9 to 5
However, many people underestimate the security and benefits of a stable and well-paying 9-to-5 job: you are sure, certain, and assured.
These things do not come when you stop working; you are always on the go, needing to do too much, and not knowing what is going to happen, so a lot of the uncertainties have caused me to waste a lot of time in untruthful ventures, so I was not immune to failure; however, monetizing a large European account would not be impossible, and I did it in four weeks.
I know I should give myself some flowers sometimes because I push myself too hard, but most of the time my motivation is to pay the bills.
I have fallen behind on my partner's other duties, but we will keep trying and see how it goes. It is a lot of work, and I sometimes go to bed questioning my life decisions, but even if they do not make sense, the bills must be paid.
You cannot make excuses for not paying your bills. The landlord called me today to remind me of her rent, even though it has not yet expired, but I understand her; she must have calculated the ROI and needed to factor it into her life budget; after all, why have investments if not to cash in on them?
I am still as broke as I was at the beginning of the year, and I am doing everything I can to avoid ending up like that, but I believe I am making progress.

Great job, getting monetized is a lot of work! I've never tries myself, but that $100 may be small now, but if you can grow it bit by bit. You may end up an influencer!
Guaranteed income from a nine to five job is great, but I always liked being my own boss. I didn't like other people having the power to mess up my schedule and tell me what to do. I got too much of that in the Army I guess!
Just don't overwork yourself, you'll end up exhausted and sick!
Hahaha, I like being my own boss too, sadly I've not been able to own any business, but I guess maybe someday I can have something that my child can take over and build their life on.
I wanted to secure that little income even if it meant nothing, it could grow higher than that, but I'm not sure I have it in me. I don't have as much energy as I used to in my 20s, but I still work as hard.
Thanks for the kind words, the funny thing is that the bills won't care if you're sick or not.
How have you been all these while? I've found it too hard to be active these days.
It is quite inspiring to hear about how you were able to manage to get 5 million impressions and monetize your partner's account in just few weeks even when she couldn't achieve the feat in years. It definitely takes a lot of hard work, smart work and dedication and of course the bag as you rightlybpointed out. Thanks for giving us an insight into your journey.
That's why they say, two heads are better than one, I'm sure she will be thanking you for your job well done now! You knowing football and politics helps her in improving her impression and now things is turning around for her
Mehn you're a workerbee... seriously your tenacity and resilience are applaudable.... keep pushing atleast you're seeing the dividend of your hard work
I agree, for how one can hate 9-5 job, being and employee... But yoi have your safe wage coming every month, you can drop it if you have other stable revenue streams...
Thinking out loud, you could use that work as a training and then make your own account, start interact a bit on your partner account and then monetize yours and drop her? So you get 100% revenue?
Impressive, achieving 20m impressions in 4wks is indeed no feat. You committed a lot to it, and for sure you'll gain the rewards.
This is 100% true. During the Inleo adoption campaign in 2023, one of the tasks was to get a certain number of impressions. A friend suggested sharing this strategy, we tried it and it worked. Within minutes, come see impression. Na me even tire .😂
Achieving monetization on any social media platform is usually a hard task, not to talk of Twitter and doing so in just 4 weeks. It's just a matter of knowing the right buttons to press, like, for example, the knowledge you had that politics and football are lucrative niches. And most times you can't detect the right buttons by just watching videos or reading posts about how to achieve monetization.
If you can do same to your YouTube account, I'm thinking it might help you pay the bills better, nasty necessity that it is ( paying the bills, I mean). I've heard of creators making thousands of dollars from videos that grossed views under a million. I hope you find ways to stay afloat financially. One thing is certain: this difficult phase of your life will pass eventually.
