Verified Twitter users can now earn money from their posts, with one popular profile boasting earnings of over $100,000 (£76,275). In a recent announcement, Elon Musk's platform revealed its plans to introduce monetization features to help users earn a living directly on Twitter. This opportunity is exclusively available to notable Twitter Blue subscribers who can demonstrate at least five million post impressions in the past three months. Impressions refer to the total number of times a tweet has been viewed. Twitter intends to fund this initiative through its advertising revenue.
This development comes shortly after Mark Zuckerberg's Meta launched a similar platform called Threads, which has already garnered over 100 million new sign-ups within a week.
Twitter stated, "We're expanding our creator monetization offering to include ads revenue sharing for creators. This means that creators can earn a share of ad revenue, starting with the replies to their posts. It's part of our efforts to enable people to earn a living directly on Twitter. We will be rolling out the program more widely later this month, and all eligible creators will have the opportunity to apply."
Although the payout scheme will be introduced more broadly in the coming weeks, some influencers have already been informed of the funds they will receive. For instance, cartoonist Shibetoshi Nakamoto shared a post disclosing earnings of $37,050 (£28,259), which will be transferred to their account within 72 hours. Other users, such as author Ashley St. Clair and podcaster Benny Johnson, have reportedly made $7,153 (£5,455) and $9,546 (£7,281), respectively.
Additionally, an individual who identified themselves as a "self-taught brain surgeon" claimed to have earned $107,247 (£81,802) on their account despite having just over 17,000 followers.
The exact calculation method for payouts remains unclear at this time, but MailOnline has reached out to Twitter for further clarification.
