Hey BHW, I've been experimenting with growing a niche news Twitter account focusing on corporate financial data and large transactions. Here is an example of a recent post format that gains traction:
The strategy involves finding publicly available but high-impact data points (like a €5.6M payment mention) and linking to source videos to drive engagement. Would love to discuss strategies for monetizing such niche news accounts or scaling this via automation tools. What are your thoughts on this niche?

This niche could work well if you focus on data people rarely notice in longer reports. I'd automate source monitoring and flag unusual transactions for manual verification before posting. For monetization, sponsorships or a paid research newsletter seem more sustainable than relying on engagement alone.

We all know X.com's algorithm actively suppresses posts with external links (YouTube, news sites) in the main tweet, but this one seems legit with real 1805 views.
Exactly, video about the Italian company Elcon Megarad S.p.A. only got 1,805 views, and that actually says a lot. It looks like this niche is genuinely profitable, especially when you drop high-impact data points like the mention of a €5.6M payment. Low competition, high-value confidential corporate info - that's exactly the kind of gap worth exploiting.
Seems like x.com account is verified. How you would monetize this info explain more about your moves?
The key with this niche is that you are not targeting the masses. You are targeting a very specific, high-net-worth demographic: B2B decision-makers, OSINT analysts, supply chain managers, and investors. 5,600,000 EUR is HNWA lvl

I don't try to make money from X's ad revenue share (it's pennies for this niche). Instead, every viral thread ends with: "Full breakdown of the 3 companies involved and the transaction trail is in this week’s free OSINT newsletter. Link in bio." I use Beehiiv. Once you hit 1,000 subscribers, you can introduce a $10/mo "Premium Alpha" tier.
