Creators will have the flexibility to independently sign up for both Ads Revenue Sharing and Creator Subscriptions. Here is how to become eligible for this, how much money you can earn, and what you need to do to participate in this.
Twitter now paying users: How to become eligible for participation
To participate in the creator ads revenue sharing program, individuals must either subscribe to Twitter Blue or be recognized as Verified Organizations. Additionally, potential participants must have achieved a significant milestone: accumulating a minimum of 5 million impressions on their posts in each of the last three months.
Applicants must also successfully pass a rigorous human review process, which Twitter is calling Creator Monetization Standards. This step guarantees that only deserving creators who uphold ethical guidelines and contribute positively to the platform’s ecosystem can access the revenue-sharing opportunity.
What do you need once you are approved?
Once you have been approved for participation, there are a few essential requirements to fulfill. Firstly, you will need to set up a Stripe account. This account is crucial for receiving payouts. If you have already enrolled in Creator Subscriptions and are part of the initial group of creators, you are eligible to proceed with this step.
Secondly, it is important to adhere to Twitter’s Creator Subscriptions policies. The policy expects you to be 18 years of age or older, have a complete profile with a verified email address and two-factor authentication enabled, have no history of repeatedly violating the Twitter user agreement, and have at least 500 active followers.
