Twitter now rolling out exclusive Spaces for Super Follows creators

Earlier this year, it was reported that Twitter had been working on a new way to let creators open exclusive Spaces for their “super followers.” Now the social network has confirmed that it’s rolling out the Spaces feature to Super Follows creators so that they can start a private audio chat with only paying followers.

Creators have the option to offer exclusive tweets via a monthly subscription through Super Follows. These followers can now access private Spaces which are Twitter’s audio and live streaming platforms.

It’s important to note that Spaces For Super Follows are different than Ticketed Spaces. This is a way for them to charge a set price each time if they want to allow users to access that Space. Both features are ways that Twitter has been implementing monetization to its platform beyond advertising.

At this time, Super Follows is available only to US users. Creators who want to apply for the program need to be 18 or older, have at least 10,000 followers, and have posted a minimum of 25 tweets in the past 30 days. Creators accepted into the Super Follows program can charge $2. 99, $4. 99, or $9. 99 for the monthly subscription.

Last month, the company announced other major improvements to its Spaces live audio platform, which includes a new conversation thread button and an option to share audio clips. Twitter also recently made “Circles” available to some users, which works similarly to Super Follows but is free and intended for close friends.

It’s unclear when Super Follows will be expanded to more regions around the world.
