The Nigerian government declared that the ban on Twitter, a micro-blogging service, has been lifted as of 12 a.m. on Thursday 13th of January 2022.
Access to the platform has been restored, and Nigerians can now use it without the need of a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for the first time in seven months.
Many Nigerians are responding in various ways as a result of the removal of the ban, with the majority of them blaming the decision on the approaching general election in 2023 and the government’s aim to use the platform for campaigning.
Nevertheless, I’m happy that the Twitter ban has been lifted in Nigeria. If you go to your webpage now and type twitter.com, it’s going to pop up and you can sign in to your account. And that’s good news for Nigerians.
One of the basic things I’m bringing to you is not to sound political or to come and fight politics, but to tell you 8 ways you can make money with Twitter.
Before Twitter was banned, most people did not know they could make money from Twitter. But, now that Twitter is back, you can make money and that’s what I’m here to tell you today.

So, if you build an audience on Twitter, you can bring them over to the Blog or YouTube, where you will get paid.

When you build influence, and you start getting a lot of traction, people are going to pay you money to say something about their company.

6. Build Twitter Up as a Community
You can build Twitter up as a community. Nothing sells more than a community. This is a chance community and is way different than when you are just doing Twitter by yourself. Look for a name, look for a source of interest and build on it.
You need to build a community for a course, maybe it’s for youths that are suffering. Remember politics is coming along the line, that is also a source of interest. You can build a community around anything that is valuable that you think you know people are interested in.
It might be people that are vegetarians, it might be people that love to lose weight. All of these you can build a community around, and when you build a community around anything, you are going to be the sole proprietor because you will get jobs in terms of people calling you out for events. You get jobs, speaking about the jobs, they are going to pay you for that and you as well are going to become massive. You can even get awards that get payments with.
Those are things you want to achieve because that’s what life is all about. So, you kill two birds with a stone by helping people and also making money. Encourage yourself now to jump on Twitter or build a community on Twitter.
7. Build Business Leads
Most times, people are looking for genuine people that are trustworthy to do business with or to recommend businesses to them. That’s all about it.
Sometimes, we call this affiliate marketing, which means you can recommend the product to someone and they’re going to use it. People are still looking for what you already know and where the raw material is. You just need to reach out to them on Twitter before you link them to the buyer and seller and that’s how to generate leads.
You can generate leads for companies, you can do b2b (business to business), you can do business to customers. Whatever it is, you can do this on Twitter and the funniest thing is you don’t really need to know how this is done.
All you need is to build your audience on Twitter. Just start typing about something that you have interesting, maybe there is the red stone in your state, maybe there is iron in your state or there is gold in your state. You can use that as your catchphrase to build a community of people that have an interest in that particular thing. And here and then as you keep going, you will see yourself outgrow and make a lot of money. Simply because you have a community that can generate leads.
8. Build an Email List
If you’re already making money online, or you’re trying to make money online. The number one metrics that can make you tonnes of money is building an email list, whether you like it or not, that’s the surest way for you to make money. And you can do that on Twitter.
You can do this by giving things away to your audience while they drop their email for you. It is bulletproof and it will always cover for you. It’s a minimum of 1% of whatever it is, but it converts well when you have an email list. So, build an audience on Twitter simply because you want the valuable audience that has emails and usually checks their emails.

That’s exactly what affiliate marketing is, you can do that on Twitter.
