What are the requirements for monetization on X (Twitter)? From how much can you get paid?

Table of Contents
X (Twitter) has a system called Creator Revenue Sharing that allows you to earn revenue from the content you post.
Creator revenue sharing is not available to all users.
In this article, we explain the requirements you need to meet to earn revenue through creator revenue sharing, and the minimum amount from which you can receive payouts.
What are the monetization requirements?
To monetize X, you need to meet the requirements for creator revenue sharing.
The requirements for Creator Revenue Sharing are changed from time to time, but at the time of writing, accounts that meet the following requirements can apply for creator revenue sharing.
- You are subscribed to X Premium, Premium Business, or Premium Organizations
- You have earned 5 million or more organic impressions within the past 3 months
- You have 500 or more verified followers
- You are located in an eligible country
- You comply with X’s terms
First, to apply for Creator Revenue Sharing, the account must be subscribed to X Premium on the Premium plan or higher, or be subscribed to Premium Business or Premium Organizations.
Premium Business and Premium Organizations are paid subscription services for businesses, so for individual users, the requirement is to be subscribed to X Premium on the Premium plan or higher.
X Premium is a paid subscription service that enables you to use various additional features on X.
X Premium has three plans in order from the lowest monthly fee: Basic, Premium, and Premium+, but only Premium and Premium+ can use Creator Revenue Sharing.
With the cheapest Basic plan, you cannot use creator revenue sharing.

You also need to have earned 5 million or more organic impressions in the past 3 months.
Organic impressions are view counts obtained without using methods such as advertising.
In other words, excluding ads, your posts must have been viewed 5 million times or more in the past 3 months.
In addition, you need 500 or more verified followers.
Verified followers are followers with a blue or gold badge, and this includes users subscribed to X Premium for individuals on the Premium plan or higher, as well as accounts subscribed to Premium Business or Premium Organizations for organizations.
In addition, you must be located in an eligible country, and you must comply with X’s terms of use and guidelines.
You can check whether you meet the requirements for Creator Revenue Sharing from X’s monetization page.
Applying is required for monetization
Even if you meet the requirements for Creator Revenue Sharing, monetization does not happen automatically.
If you want to monetize, you need to apply from X’s monetization page and complete procedures such as identity verification.
Under the specifications at the time of writing, if you meet the monetization requirements at the point you apply for Creator Revenue Sharing and are approved, then even if the requirements later change and you can no longer meet them, revenue will still accrue.
However, Creator Revenue Sharing may be suspended due to violations of the terms of use or guidelines, and in that case, revenue will no longer accrue.
From how much can you get paid?
Even if you meet the requirements for Creator Revenue Sharing and your application is approved, it does not necessarily mean that revenue will be paid out.
As with many other monetization services, a minimum payout amount is set, and if your revenue is below that amount, it will not be paid out.
The minimum amount for X’s creator revenue sharing is $10, and if your revenue is under $10, it will be carried over 2 weeks later until it reaches $10 or more.
Summary
We explained the requirements for applying to Creator Revenue Sharing, which allows you to earn revenue from the content you post on X, and the minimum amount from which you can receive payouts.
To apply for Creator Revenue Sharing, you need to be subscribed to the specified paid subscription service, and you need 5 million or more organic impressions within the past 3 months and 500 or more verified followers.
The minimum payout amount for Creator Revenue Sharing is $10, and if it is under $10, it will be carried over.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.
I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
