Step 1: Identify your niche on Twitter
Step 2: Determine what kind of content you will create
Once you’ve determined your niche, you need to decide on the type of content you want to sell. Will it be videos, e-books, tutorials, or something else? Consider what type of content you’re the most passionate about creating and that your followers will be willing to pay for.
And if you’re not sure what kind of content will resonate with your followers, use Twitter’s interactive features like polls to engage your followers and gather feedback.
Ask them what kind of content they would like to see on your membership site or involve them in the decision-making process. This not only shows that you value their opinions but also helps you create content that resonates with your followers’ interests and preferences.

Step 3: Pick a tool to help you sell your membership content
Before you can start selling access to your content, you’ll need a tool to help you accept payments.
Whether you’re selling a newsletter subscription, a paid podcast, access to a community, or something else, you can add MemberSpace to any website and start selling your content right away.
Here’s how it works:
- Sign up for a free MemberSpace account.
- Add the content that you want to sell to your Twitter followers to a page on your website.
- Restrict access to those pages, so only paying members can access them. MemberSpace takes care of all the payments through the built-in Stripe integration.
- Get instant payouts as soon as you start selling content!
Clarissa is a food blogger who shares cooking tips with her Twitter followers. She has built a decent following over the years and wants to start monetizing this community, so she decides to sell exclusive content on her membership site ClarissaCooks.com. She knows some of her Twitter followers are beginners and probably won’t pay for access to her resources, so she includes a free plan to accommodate everyone.
- Free Plan – Members can access Clarissa’s free recipes and cooking community
- Silver Plan – For $10 a month, these members get access to everything in the free plan, plus a weekly newsletter with even more advice and recipes
- Gold Plan – For $15, members get access to everything in the Silver plan, plus her private podcast episodes where Clarissa interviews other popular food bloggers
Step 4: Promote your content to your Twitter followers
Once your membership program is set up, it’s time to start promoting your exclusive content to your Twitter followers!
Here are some ideas to get your Twitter followers interested in your membership content:
- Use Twitter to tease upcoming content, like a clip from your latest podcast or a video montage from your online course.
- Add a link to your membership in your Twitter bio or a pinned tweet to direct interested followers to your website.
- Offer your Twitter followers limited-time discounts or early access to your membership.
- Engage with your followers and ask for feedback on what content they want to see from you. The more you can involve your audience in the process, the more invested they’ll be in your success.
- Leverage Twitter ads to reach a wider audience and promote your membership.
- Collaborate with influencers on Twitter. This can involve guest appearances on your podcast, an interview featured in your newsletter, or an event where the influencer is the keynote speaker.
Step 5: Refresh your content
Launching your membership and promoting it to your Twitter followers is just the start. Once you start to make sales, it’s important to continue creating and sharing new resources with your Twitter followers, so your content is always top of mind.
