Elon Musk has introduced a new initiative on Twitter, rewarding verified users with financial compensation for their online posts.
Recently, one prominent Twitter account received an astonishing payment of $100,000 (£76,275), signaling the start of this program.
Under this exciting development, Elon Musk’s platform aims to empower individuals to earn a direct income through Twitter. The announcement to launch monetization features was made just last night.
To participate in this scheme, Twitter users must be notable Blue subscribers and demonstrate a minimum of five million impressions on their posts within the past three months. Impressions refer to the total number of times a tweet has been viewed. The funds allocated to support eligible creators will be derived from Twitter’s advertising revenue.
Coincidentally, Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, unveiled a similar platform called Threads a week ago, attracting over 100 million new sign-ups.
Twitter expressed its plans to expand creator monetization offerings, including revenue sharing through advertisements. This will allow creators to earn a portion of the ad revenue, starting with replies to their posts. The objective is to enable individuals to earn a sustainable income directly through Twitter.
The program will be rolled out more extensively later this month, and all eligible creators will have the opportunity to apply.
Notably, several influencers have already been notified about the funds they will receive.
Renowned cartoonist Shibetoshi Nakamoto shared a post revealing earnings of $37,050 (£28,259), which will be deposited into their account within the next 72 hours.
Other notable figures like author Ashley St. Clair and podcaster Benny Johnson have reported earnings of $7,153 (£5,455) and $9,546 (£7,281) respectively.
In a remarkable claim, an individual describing themselves as a ‘self-taught brain surgeon’ boasted earnings of $107,247 (£81,802) on their Twitter account.
