Twitter’s ad revenue-sharing model has now reached content creators and influencers in Nigeria. Formerly known as Twitter, the company, now referred to as X, introduced this payment initiative in the US in July, and Nigerian users have begun receiving payments based on their engagement. The program’s extension to global users was announced by the end of the same month.
Verified users both in Nigeria and worldwide are eligible for payment if they meet certain criteria, including having a substantial number of impressions on their posts and content. Many creators have expressed their gratitude to Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, for incentivizing them to produce engaging content on the platform.
Eligibility for payment requires users to be verified or subscribed to Twitter Blue. Additionally, creators must accumulate at least five million impressions on their posts every three months, pass a human review based on Creator Monetization Standards, have a minimum of 500 followers, and possess a Stripe account for payment.
Those who are eligible can easily set up payments from within the Monetization section of the app, accessible via the sidebar on both iOS and Android menus on the web.
However, it’s important to note that the company has reserved the right to modify or terminate the program at any time, at its own discretion, including for business or legal reasons.
