Full Guide on How to Make Money on Twitter X

Table of Contents

If you missed the opportunity to make money on YouTube 10 years ago and more recently on TikTok 5 years ago, you shouldn’t miss the chance to make money from X. Specifically, recently, X has officially launched a program to share advertising revenue with content creators. The new feature allows users to share revenue from ad impressions on content creators’ verified responses to content posted on the social media platform. So, what are the requirements to participate in the program and how to make money on Twitter X? This article by AZC News will clarify any questions you have.

What does it mean to make money on Twitter X?

To put it simply, making money on Twitter X means sharing advertising revenue through the Ad-Revenue Share program.

A more straightforward description is that Twitter X will allocate a portion of the advertising revenue to content creators on Twitter X. If you’ve been involved in MMO or making money online, you may find making money on Twitter X similar to earning money on YouTube through the YouTube Partner program.

So, by now, you should understand that to make money on Twitter X, you need to meet two requirements:

You must be a Content Creator (meaning you must actively create content on Twitter X).
You must meet the conditions to participate in Twitter X’s Ad-revenue Share program.

What are the requirements to start making money on Twitter X?

Currently, X has three conditions for a Twitter account to be eligible to make money, as follows:

You must join the X Premium program (formerly known as Twitter Blue) with a cost of $8 per month. This means your Twitter account is verified (has a blue checkmark).
You need to have at least 500 followers.
You must achieve a minimum of five million ad impressions, without having to pay for them, on all your posts within three months.

Of these three conditions, the third one appears to be the most challenging. You need to share genuinely useful and valuable content to attract a lot of interest. It’s difficult but not impossible. In the following section, we will show you how to meet these three conditions, especially the third one, achieving 5 million impressions.

Who will receive money from Twitter X?

Accounts that are eligible for making money and engage with new ads will receive money. This does not depend on the number of followers, likes, comments, or views. Of course, these factors are essential for high-quality ads to appear on your content, but they do not determine the amount of money you receive. Ad engagement comes in two types:

Others helping you: When someone views your post or profile, sees an ad, and interacts with it. -> You and the person who helped you both receive a share of the revenue.
You helping others: When you view someone else’s post or profile, see an ad, and interact with it. -> You help them, and you both receive a share of the revenue.

So, when you interact with ads for someone you like, both parties benefit. However, currently, we only see ads outside and on other people’s walls, not on our own.

How to meet the conditions for making money on Twitter X

Get the blue checkmark from Twitter.

You can purchase the blue checkmark directly on X. Only accounts actively subscribed to X Premium are eligible to receive the blue checkmark.

Our team uses an eligibility criteria on when the checkmark is given to ensure we maintain the integrity of the platform. Your account must meet the following criteria to receive or retain the blue checkmark:

Complete: Your account must have a display name and profile photo.
Active use: Your account must be active in the past 30 days to subscribe to X Premium.
Security: Your account must have a confirmed phone number.
Non-Deceptive:
- Your account must have no recent changes to your profile photo, display name, or username (@handle).
- Your account must have no signs of being misleading or deceptive.
- Your account must have no signs of engaging in platform manipulation and spam.

Achieve 500 followers on Twitter X.

To reach 500 followers on Twitter X, you can follow others on X. Currently, many people create follow-for-follow threads on Twitter, so you can meet others and follow them. You just need to use the appropriate hashtags, and you’ll find them. With a new account, you should follow a limited number of people each day to avoid getting locked out. Alternatively, a quicker way to save time is to buy a third-party follow service. Make sure the service you choose is reputable.

How to quickly achieve 5 million impressions on Twitter?

Here are two ways that can help you meet the 5 million impressions condition:

Method 1: Create content on Twitter X manually

Choose a niche: First, you need to determine a niche or niche market to start building content on Twitter X. You should prioritize a niche you are familiar with or currently working in. Alternatively, you can choose trending topics, such as artificial intelligence (AI).

Content + Hashtags: Your content should be well-written and high-quality. Don’t forget to write about topics that are currently hot on X. When creating content, use relevant hashtags because Twitter’s algorithm relies on hashtags to group and suggest your content to others.

Engagement: The main purpose of any social media platform is to connect people. So, when using Twitter X, you should interact regularly with those who follow you. You should also find Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and influencers in the same niche and engage with them (this is called follow-back).

Write Threads: Once you have a blue checkmark on Twitter X, you can write long tweets, but you should still break them into smaller thread posts. This makes it easier for users to read and navigate through each tweet in the thread. Threads are also more likely to be retweeted and bookmarked.

Micro-Storytelling: Twitter X is all about concise content, so you should learn how to tell very short but engaging stories. A formula you can apply for a tweet is: Introduction (grab attention) -> Deliver the message -> Conclusion & call to action.

Video: Instead of writing a long tweet about your story, sharing a quick 20-second video about your journey or story can be very effective, and you will be surprised by the level of impressions it receives.

Turn on notifications – Swift commenting: There’s a great way to increase impressions on Twitter X. You can follow accounts of big KOLs (such as Elon Musk). Then, turn on notifications for their tweets, and you can comment as soon as possible, ideally with a meme (as Elon loves memes). Comments like these will achieve high impressions.

Method 2: Create content on Twitter X with the help of AI tools

There is a tool that can help you create highly automated content, and that is Tweet Hunter.

With the Tweet Hunter tool, you can use artificial intelligence to find and filter high-quality and trending tweet ideas. From there, you can search for your own tweet ideas or even copy and modify existing tweets.

But that’s not all. Tweet Hunter also helps you schedule multiple tweets a day and throughout the week. This allows you to spend 1-2 hours creating scheduled tweets for the entire week.
