How to Make Money on Twitter

THREE steps to follow

• Value creation
• Build a following
• Use Analytics to Boost Reach

At first, I thought it was an illusion, until I saw the results firsthand.

(Thread)
Herein lies the secrets 👇🏽
• Introduction

Recently, there was this debate on Twitter about being an entrepreneur or working for someone.

Friends, you don’t have to choose a side. Use your 9-5 job income as security to build up a side income or passive income.

You start small
Let me show you how. 👇🏽
- Why Twitter?

• Income Generation
• Promote your work
• Networking
• Learning

The concept is simple - create value for your followers, rather than scrolling endlessly for hours consuming futile information.

Value creation > Consumption
• Value Creation

• Define and Identify your Niche
• Create Valuable Content
• Deliver in Creative Ways
• Sustain it - Consistency

Example:

• My Niche is Finance #fintwitter
• I create Educational threads
• I like to use Humor in posts
• A thread once a Week.
- Platforms

The idea is to generate traffic and divert it to your funnel to create brand awareness and convert.

You can use

• Twitter
• Emails
• YouTube

Read the the blog below for some excellent tips. 👇🏽

-Start by doing exactly this:

• Use DM’s to reach out to people
• Connect with individuals
• Invest in knowledge
• Optimize your bio

Your ROI is very possible, especially when the blueprints of how to do it lie in plain sight 👇🏽

• Key Takeaways

I want to point out a few things:

• Nothing happens overnight
• You have to make an effort
• Sticking to your niche
• Focus on your goal
• Avoid arguments
• Provide value
• Divert traffic
• Final thoughts

In the times we are living in, where your income can be taken away from you over night, it’s so important to at least try to create new forms of income for yourself. Even if it’s just to subsidize your your main income-it helps.

As @CJ_Johnson17th puts it 👇🏽
• Shout- Out 🔊

Thank you for the continued support. I truly appreciate all of you.

And because I’m nothing without all of you, I’m pledging to give away 10% of all my Twitter earnings.

Look out for the competition in the coming days.

Here’s to building

Dividends Explained

🟢 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀
🔴 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀

Time to learn 🔻 Image
𝟭/ 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀

Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders.

When you invest into a company (own equity) you become a shareholder of that company and then have a claim on future cashflows. Image
The net profits from the respective company you’ve invested in can be:

(𝟭) 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀
(𝟮) 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
(𝟯) 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 (𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 + 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱)

The retention and amount of distributions are dependent on what the board of directors decide.

———

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀

Dividends can be paid in two forms, depending on what is decided:

(1) Paid in cash
(2) Additional Shares, known as a stock dividend

This is the way for a company to share its profits, and can be seen as a sign of financial stability.Image

Let me explain the difference between RSA Retail Savings Bonds and tradable South African bonds.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 🔻 Image
** Glossary **

𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱:

A bond is a debt security. You can think of it as an I-O-U.

You lend money to someone, and then they promise to pay that money back to you + interest.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆:

Refers to the date on which the bond issuer (debtor) pays back everything they owe to bondholders ( creditor ).Image
1/ Introduction

When it comes to bonds there are two markets one can opt to participate in:

🟠 The Primary Market
🟠 The Secondary Market

The primary market is where you 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 but then cannot sell it to someone else because there is no secondary market for it.

*So the price of the bond cannot fall.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲:

🟢No fees
🟢No commission
🟢No Risk
🟢Guaranteed returns

——————

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 and this is what makes them different from tradable government bonds.

𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁,

Tradable government bonds have a secondary market where they can be traded or held to maturity.

This means you can sell it when you want to, but it also means you can potentially lose money if the bond price has fallen lower than your original purchase price.

With tradable government bonds, you are 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸.Image
