What Is Super Follows on Twitter and How to Apply Right Now
Jun. 25, 2021We now know the specifics of Super Follows, thanks to Twitter’s announcement of the service in the US. While Twitter might add additional perks for Super Followers ahead of the global rollout, the base features available now are likely to remain the same. That said, let’s explore Super Follows on Twitter.
To be eligible to sign up and apply for Super Follows, creators on Twitter should satisfy the following requirements:
For instance, say you are a creator, and you earned $100 in a month through the Super Follows feature. Well, Apple or Google will take a 30% share from your earnings, which brings down the total amount to $70. From this $70, Twitter will take a 3% cut, which then further decreases your earnings to $67.9.

To get a payout from Super Follows on Twitter, a creator will need to reach the$50 minimum threshold. If you don’t hit the minimum threshold in a month, you don’t have to worry as the balance will automatically roll over to the next month.
