In February, Musk had said that Twitter would start sharing ad revenue with Twitter Blue subscribers as a way to drive content creation within the platform. It was not until June that the owner of the social network announced the first payments to creators, with an initial block of 5 million dollars (4.5 million euros).
Some users have received their first payments and in certain cases they range from $25,000 to $30,000 (from about €22,237 to about €26,685). This has generated a lot of interest among prominent Twitter users, motivating them to increase the frequency of their tweets.
Who are “eligible creators”
The new regulations establish that creators can sign up for ad revenue share and creator subscriptions independently. This opportunity will be available in all countries where Stripe, a payment service and financial infrastructure, supports transactions (with Spain among them).
For now, the company has not specified what the application process to follow will be to apply and receive monetization, but they did anticipate that the creators will be able to request a subscription to the system by accessing the “Monetization” option in the “Settings” section.
In order for a user to be eligible for revenue sharing, they must meet 3 characteristics:
Be a subscriber to Twitter Blue or verified organizations. Have at least 5 million post impressions in each of the last 3 months. Pass a review of the monetization standards for creators.
If the user is approved, they must:
Have a Stripe account to receive payments. Comply with Twitter creator subscription policies.
