Breakdown of my latest X payout + what I learned:
X paid me $758.05.
I spent around 5 to 6 hours/day on X this payout period.
Day 1 was closer to 10 hours, but after that I scaled back to focus more on building ClimbX and DanielLaunches.
Output:
- 592K verified impressions
- 114 posts
- 7,437 replies
Per day:
- $54.15 earned
- 42.3K verified impressions
- 8.1 posts
- 531 replies
Per hour:
- Around $10 earned for every hour spent on X
My numbers are clearly lower this period.
Mainly because:
- Summer means fewer active users
- X has changed its algorithm
- I tested more community focused, less engagement driven posts
- I spent more time building ClimbX and DanielLaunches
Biggest "new payout indication:
I cannot confirm this from an official X guideline, but based on my payout and what others report, replies on other people's posts seem to pay very little, if anything.
So if you use the "reply guy" strategy:
- Use replies to grow
- Build your own content too
Replies seem to grow the audience.
Your own posts seem to drive the payout.
