Social Chatter: Social Media Marketing Talk Show - Episode 278 Is A Twitter Subscription Model A Good Idea? This week, Twitter explored a Twitter subscription model. With a subscription model, users would be charged for Tweetdeck (currently free). Subscribers also might get access to unique content or features on the Twitter platform. #Twitter considering a subscription model. Would you be willing to pay?#SocialChatter #SocialMedia #SocialMediaNews #TwitterNews https://t.co/uidPBIE1Kv— Social Chefs (@socialchefs) February 11, 2021 Would You Pay For A Twitter Subscription? How much would a subscription cost under a Twitter subscription model? Would it be similar to Apple One, where you get access to other services? For example, you could pay for Tweetdeck separately or pay a monthly fee and get access to Twitter, Tweetdeck and more? Would Twitter start a similar service like Apple News, with access to news that currently requires you to pay for a separate subscription, such as the Wall Street Journal? One thing that isn't clear is how much a Twitter subscription model would charge. Right now, we could see a subscription being in the range of $5.99-6.99 per month. Why A Twitter Subscription Model Matters For Your Business Twitter is already working on verification and also has Fleets. Could these be pieces in the bigger puzzle of a Twitter subscription model? For now, we won't know. It seems like these could become services that require a subscription in order to jump to the front of the line or give your business access. In the meantime, with Twitter growth slowing, they'll need more than just unique content and a scheduling tool to be able to charge users.
