Twitter Payouts: Now, Elon Musk's 'X' Lowers Minimum Ad Impressions Requirements For Creators To 5 Million

Tech giant X, previously recognised as Twitter, has announced a fresh update to its Ads Revenue program aimed at creators. This update involves a reduction in the minimum impressions required, scaling down from 15 million to 5 million.

The company tweeted from its official handle, "Now, even more people can get paid to post! We've lowered the eligibility threshold for ads revenue sharing from 15M to 5M impressions within the last 3 months. We've also lowered the minimum payout threshold from $50 to $10. Sign up for a Premium subscription to get access.''

Giving us more clarity on it, Elon Musk tweeted,''This essentially means that X Premium (fka Twitter Blue) is free for accounts that generate above 5M views. Note, only views from verified handles count, as scammers will otherwise use bots to spam views to infinity.''

What is the eligibility criteria?

To qualify, users must accumulate more than 5 million tweet impressions within the preceding three months, a shift from the previous requirement of over 15 million impressions in the same time frame. In addition, the user needs to hold an active subscription to either Twitter Blue or Verified Organizations. Additionally, their account must maintain a minimum follower count of 500, and the individual must be at least 18 years of age.

It's important to note that users are currently only permitted to request withdrawals for sums surpassing $50. As of now, the exclusive method for revenue withdrawal is through Stripe. However, alternative withdrawal methods will be introduced in due course.

Given Twitter's absence of a dedicated media department, official confirmation regarding recent payouts isn't available. Until recently, they used to send the poop emoji to press emails, adding a unique touch to their communication practices.
