   Tomorrow will be 1 year since I launched "I Love America News" on Twitter/X.

   69,000 followers and 252 Million impressions and counting! Next year my goal is 1 Billion impressions.

   I love you all! Thank you, @elonmusk

     I am spending around 60 hours a week on it right now.

     I get up at 4 am every day to catch the New York news cycle.

     For starters. lol

     @ILoveAmericaNews Oh, I didn't know you were actually here on NAS.

     Interesting.

     Are you making any money off of this?

     @professortom

     I think I started my account on here the same day as my Twitter. It was around the same time.

     I have made $4.33. lol

     I was blocked from the monetization program, and they just approved it. around a week ago.

     I have one subscriber at $5 per month.

     I think I will start getting ad revenue on the next pay cycle. I hope so. If that ever happens, I will make a post on here with the details.

     @ILoveAmericaNews Have you considered posting on SubStatck as well?

     I'd love to be a research assistant or an additional reporter for you.

     Holy cow. You're prolific.

     I'm a grad student in IT Management.

     My plan for the next year involves a website to display content I'm creating.

     I would love to find a group of aspiring and early-career writers to collaborate on it.

     I already have around a half dozen writers in mind.

     As long as your writing is roughly in line with my world view, I would be happy to post it on my social media too. Let me know what you would like me to post.

     @ILoveAmericaNews @professortom I have a degree in CS and have worked as an Automated Tester for 15 years, so I can write about tech.

     I like History.

     I've written film and book reviews.

     @ILoveAmericaNews I'm not that prolific. You just got all the links at once :D

     Can you clarify what you mean by "post it on my social media too"?

     I know what the words mean, but I don't know what that phrase means to you. Do you mean re-publish? Link to?

     @professortom

     I mean a link with a couple of sentences to pitch it for now. If you have a graphic or something visual too that helps drive clicks.

     I post to Twitter, Truth Social, and NA.

     I also post to Gab and Gettr, but I have not been using those sites much lately.

     It's a little over 150K total followers.

     It will get you some clicks.

     I would love to eventually find maybe 10-20 writers to submit work for my website for a share of any advertising revenue their articles make. Someday.

     @ILoveAmericaNews I'm working on a piece about gig work right now. I don't know if that would line up with your values, especially since I plan on pitching for donations at the end because I have no income right now. It should be ready in another hour or so.

     Interested?

     @ILoveAmericaNews And if you see anything in the links I sent you that you'd like to promote, please don't hesitate to share.

     SubStack can get me paid subscribers and I'll get that money in a few days.

     Medium pays based on interactions. For $5/mo, you get access to all Medium content, not just a specific author.

     @ILoveAmericaNews If you join the Medium Partner Program, you can then paywall your content.

     Readers get 5 free articles per month without paying.

     Paid users that clap, highlight and comment on your posts have part of their monthly fee given to you as they interact with your content.

     But it seems that there's only writers on there writing about making money writing. There used to be a lot of good stories, now they're diamonds in the rough.

     Thanks for the offer, but I have a good system for collecting content.

     I produce more content than I can post on Twitter without triggering a spam suspension.

     I'm adding at least one more Twitter account next year to post everything.

     @ILoveAmericaNews Medium leans heavily to the left politically.

     SubStack seems, if not more balanced, certainly has a way of feeding you content you want to engage with.

     As always, YMMV.
