Through X’s ad revenue-sharing model, content creators and social media influencers in Nigeria have begun to receive money from Twitter.
Verified users in Nigeria and around the world who met the requirements and impressions threshold on their posts and content were paid. This payment was made to verified users.
Because of this, “Twitter Blue” managed to maintain its position as the most popular trend on Tuesday, with over 513,000 postings.
The proprietor of X, Elon Musk, has stated that the cash gained by advertisements will only be distributed to content authors whose posts receive advertisements in the comment threads of those postings.
Musk had previously stated that the programme will only be beneficial to content providers who are subscribers to Twitter Blue.

How to profit from the revenue sharing plan
It was announced in February 2023 that Blue subscribers and verified organisations will be able to share in the revenue that X makes from advertising that are put in answers to their posts through a system called the ads revenue-sharing programme.
This simply means that if you are a Blue subscriber or a verified company, you will make money off of the impressions received from other Blue subscribers who see advertising in the answers to your post. If you are not a Blue subscriber or a verified organisation, you will not make money off of these impressions.

How to qualify for X revenue sharing
Becoming a Blue member, which costs either eight dollars or six thousand yen a month, is the first thing you need to do in order to start earning money from Twitter or qualify for the ad revenue sharing scheme.
In addition to this, you need to have more than 500 followers, and each of your combined articles should have had at least 15 million organic impressions within the past three months.
Sharing material that is both entertaining and relevant to your audience is one approach to grow the number of people who follow you. Make it a goal to publish new content at least once every day, and be sure to include a variety of text, photographs, and videos. Additionally, make sure to make use of hashtags (#) and mentions of users’ handles (@) in order to reach a larger audience. Following other users is another strategy that may be used to get new followers.
In order to be paid through X’s ad revenue-sharing plan, you will need to open an account with Stripe as soon as you become qualified for the programme. Stripe is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) that powers online payment processing and commerce solutions for websites of varying sizes. Take payments, and your business will grow more quickly.
If you already love to tweet and share your opinion, this new development is a motivation to do what you love and get paid.
