10 Easy Ways To Make $5K/Month On Threads
Share
Let’s get one thing straight: Threads is not just a Twitter alternative for people who like vibes and aesthetic timelines.
It’s a money-making machine—if you know how to use it right.
So if you’re tired of watching everyone else cash out while you sit on potential, keep reading.
Here’s how to turn Threads into your digital ATM with 10 easy (and I mean easy-easy) strategies that anyone—even your cousin who still asks “what’s a link in bio?”—can pull off.
1. Sell Digital Products (Your Way to Passive Bag Secured)
If you have a skill, an idea, or even a spicy opinion… package it.
Ebooks, templates, guides, Notion planners, prompts, Canva kits, checklists—you name it. People are buying simplicity and results.
If you can solve a problem, save someone time, or teach them how to glow up their money, they’ll pay you for it.
How Threads helps:
Drop spicy one-liners, mini value bombs, or myth-busting posts that build curiosity. Link your product in your bio or funnel them to a mini sales page.
Example post:
“You’re one 12-page ebook away from not needing that 3rd shift. I said what I said.”
Money potential:
$10 digital product × 500 buyers = $5K
Yep, it’s that simple.
2. Offer Low-Ticket Courses or Trainings
The girlies love a short, juicy course that gets to the point. Especially if it’s under $50 and promises a glow-up.
Pre-record a training, slap it on a landing page, and post Threads that tease the transformation.
How to sell it:
Teach something actionable in your Threads. Then say, “I go in-depth inside [Course Name]—link in bio.”
Why it works:
People binge free value, then realize, “Oh wait… if this is free, the paid stuff must slap.”
Money potential:
$47 mini course × 107 people = $5K
No launch required. Just be consistent.
3. Promote Affiliate Products
Don’t have a product? Cool. Sell someone else’s and take the cut.
From Amazon finds to courses to tools—there’s an affiliate program for everything. Be the plug, not the creator.
How Threads helps:
“Use this to design your ebook in 20 mins flat.”
“3 tools I used to make $1K this week.”
“Here’s why I ditched my 9-5 for this side hustle (Affiliate link in bio)”
Hot tip: Use your content to show how you use the product, not just tell. People don’t trust salesy energy—but they love seeing receipts.
Money potential:
$25 commission × 200 referrals = $5K
Stack multiple programs and you’re golden.
4. Launch a Subscription-Based Newsletter
Monetize your best thoughts. People will pay for exclusive tea, behind-the-scenes strategies, templates, or even weekly pep talks.
Try platforms like: Beehiiv, Substack, or ConvertKit.
Use Threads to:
- Drop 1-liner previews of the content
- Tease controversial takes
- Build FOMO around what subscribers get
Example:
“You’re broke because you treat your side hustle like a hobby. I break it down inside today’s issue.”
Money potential:
$10/month × 500 subs = $5K/month
And that’s recurring, baby.
5. Offer Freelance Services
Threads = your new portfolio. Copywriting, UGC, design, editing, virtual assistant work—whatever your skill is, someone needs it.
How Threads helps:
Give tips. Show results. Share client wins. And plug your offer without sounding desperate.
Example post:
“I took my client from $0 to $2K in 3 weeks with a single thread. If you’re still ignoring content marketing… you’re broke on purpose.”
Money potential:
$500/month retainer × 10 clients = $5K
If you’re booked out, raise your rates.
6. Start a Community or Membership
People pay to be in the room. You don’t need to be a guru—just someone with direction, leadership, and a vibe people trust.
Create a Skool group, Discord, or private IG close friends. Offer weekly lives, Q&As, templates, accountability, or just a space to ask questions and grow.
Thread angle:
“Had 3 girls in my community quit their jobs this month. We’re not just talking, we’re transforming.”
Money potential:
$20/month × 250 members = $5K
Community is currency now.
7. Monetize with Threads Bonus Program (If You’re Eligible)
Meta’s rolling out bonuses for high-performing creators. If you’re eligible, you get paid based on post performance, engagement, or ad rev.
How to qualify:
- Grow your following
- Post consistently
- Engage with your niche
Not guaranteed, but if you get in, it’s free money for doing what you already do.
Thread tip:
Create shareable, scroll-stopping posts. Be polarizing. Be funny. Be real.
(And keep your eye out for invites from Meta.)
Money potential:
$100-$5000/month
Yes, really. Free bag if you play it right.
8. Use Threads to Drive Traffic to TikTok Shop
If you sell products on TikTok Shop—either as an affiliate or a seller—use Threads to drive traffic.
How?
Repurpose TikTok videos as Threads. Break down the “why it works” or give written versions of product reviews.
Example:
“This book helped me go from anxious mess to unbothered queen in 3 weeks. Here’s what it taught me (with a twist):”
- Share the value
- Link to the TikTok or product
Money potential:
$10 commission × 500 sales = $5K
Stackable with other strategies too.
9. Sell 1:1 Coaching or Strategy Calls
People are overwhelmed. They don’t need more Google searches—they need someone to say: “Here’s exactly what to do.”
If you’ve mastered anything (content, mindset, business, branding, freelancing), you can sell your brain.
Use Threads to:
- Tell your story
- Share client wins
- Break down what you teach
- Give a call-to-action for booking
Example post:
“You don’t need another course. You need a 45-minute call with someone who’s been where you are. Book a strategy session. Let’s clean up your whole digital life.”
Money potential:
$250/session × 20 clients = $5K
Low effort. High impact.
10. Create Viral Threads & Sell a Product at the End
This is the most underrated (but powerful) strategy of them all.
You write a thread that slaps—value-packed, vulnerable, spicy, funny, or just real AF—and at the end, you casually drop a product.
Hook them. Educate them. Sell softly.
Example thread:
1. I was broke, overwhelmed, and Googling “how to make money without showing my face.”
2. Now I make $5K/month while my kid naps. Here’s how:
- Share tips
- Share struggle
- Plug your ebook/course at the end
This works because:
- It builds trust
- It gives value
- It feels natural, not salesy
Money potential:
Viral thread × good product = limitless.
Final Thoughts:
$5K Isn’t a Dream—It’s a Strategy
Let’s kill the myth that you need 100K followers, a ring light, and a marketing degree to make money online.
You need:
- Value
- Consistency
- A little bit of strategy
- And a whole lot of “IDGAF, I’m posting anyway”
Threads is ripe for creators who show up smart, not just loud. It rewards people who give real value, build connection, and aren’t afraid to sell.
So here’s your homework:
Pick 2-3 of these methods. Set up your links. Show up daily. Be bold. Be helpful. Be that girl.
And come back and tell me when you hit your $5K.
