How to make money from Twitter ads revenue sharing programme

August 09, 2023

Several content creators in Nigeria woke up to receive credit alerts from X (formerly Twitter) as part of its ad revenue-sharing initiative.


The development follows the commencement of payouts for U.S. users last month, as X extended the programme globally by the end of July.


The microblogging platform had earlier announced that through its monetisation programme, “creators across the globe can now sign up and earn a living on the platform.


The platform said users who subscribe to Twitter Blue can access new features and apply to enable Subscriptions on their account and earn income directly on Twitter by tapping on monetisation in settings to apply.


Verified users who met impression thresholds are now benefiting from this. Many of these creators have expressed gratitude to Elon Musk, the platform’s owner, stating that his support encourages them to stay on the platform and keep producing compelling content.


For instance, a verified Twitter user, Abbaz announced that he received an alert of N220,000 from Twitter this morning.




 


A Twitter influencer, @TalentedFGB, with over 800,000 followers on Twitter, shared that he received an alert of $92,765 as revenue.




Similarly, a Twitter user, @Solomon_Buchi announced that he received his share of the payout.




“I got paid by Twitter, now known as X. I Twitter my opinions, commentators, views, and people are blessed, however, it’s also nice to be paid for it!”


Following the development, a lot of X users have been looking for a way to join the trail and benefit from the mouthwatering incentives introduced by Elon Musk.


What is Twitter ad revenue sharing?


Twitter ad revenue sharing is the latest feature added to the platform that helps creators get a share of Twitter’s revenue from the sponsored posts appearing under their tweets. This initiative allows verified creators to access a share of the revenue generated by advertisements displayed within the comments section of their posts.


While the exact methodology for calculating reimbursements and the portion retained by Twitter remains somewhat unclear, it is a requirement for accounts to have accrued a minimum of 5 million impressions on their tweets within the preceding three months in order to qualify for participation. This criterion ensures that eligible creators have achieved a certain level of engagement and exposure before being able to participate in the revenue-sharing arrangement.
