MONETIZING YOUR BRAND
Whether you're a content writer, raider, space host, or just active on X...
this will change the way you think about making money online. 🧵👇
Your brand is leverage.
But leverage without a direction is just potential.
Monetization is the art of turning reputation into revenue.
And no — you don’t need 10k followers. You need a system.
Here’s how to build one, from the ground up:
First rule:
You don’t get paid for having followers.
You get paid for solving problems.
The more specific the problem, the more valuable the solution.
Your content builds trust.
But your offers bring in money.
đź’ˇ No offer = no income.
Step 1: Own a niche.
Your niche is the bridge between your content and your income.
→ Are you known for threads? Start offering ghostwriting.
→ Are you great at community raids? Offer growth packages.
→ Do you get DMs for advice? Turn it into a service or product.
đź’ˇ Get known for something specific first.
Step 2: Build something simple — and sell it early.
You don’t need a fancy website. You don’t need funnels.
What you need is proof of work + confidence to charge.
Start with:
A Notion service page
A Calendly for calls
A pinned tweet with what you do
A DM saying “yo, I can help with that”
đź’ˇ Simplicity wins when you're early.
Step 3: Talk about what you do. Often.
Most creators don’t make money because nobody knows what they offer.
They drop one post and disappear.
Be shameless.
Mention your offer in your content.
Use call-to-actions.
Drop receipts.
💡 If they don’t know you sell it, they won’t buy it.
Step 4: Use your replies as inbound sales.
Someone talking about their content flopping?
→ Offer to audit it.
Someone tweeting about lack of growth?
→ Slide in with your process.
Someone running a space that lacked juice?
→ Tell them how you’d host it better.
đź’ˇ Your content gets reach.
Your comments get clients.
Step 5: Start collecting proof.
Screenshots. Testimonials. Case studies. Results.
The more evidence you gather, the easier it is to raise your price.
💡 Trust builds slower than reach — but converts way faster when it’s backed by receipts.
Step 6: Monetize backwards.
Instead of “build a product → hope it sells,”
do this:
→ Build an audience
→ Talk about your skills
→ Get questions in your DMs
→ Package that into a product/service based on real demand
💡 Let your followers tell you what they’d pay for.
Ways to monetize your brand (even under 1k followers):
• 1:1 services (ghostwriting, strategy, visuals, audits)
• Subscription-based alpha
• Digital products (Notion packs, templates, guides)
• Paid Spaces or consulting
• Brand partnerships & shoutouts
• Community mod/ambassador roles
• Monetized X content via Creators Ads Rev (if eligible)
đź’ˇ Stop thinking you need scale. You need value.
And finally: Monetization ≠selling out.
If you’ve helped people, earned trust, and shown value —
charging isn’t sleazy.
It’s fair.
It’s earned.
It’s how you stay in the game longer.
đź’ˇ The best brands are the ones that last. Monetization makes that possible.
You don’t need 100k followers to monetize.
You just need one thing: clarity.
→ Who are you helping?
→ How are you helping them?
→ What are you offering?
Start there. The rest will scale.
