Twitter has unveiled its revenue sharing program, enabling verified users to earn revenue from ads displayed in replies to other users’ posts. To be eligible for this opportunity, users must have a verified account, achieve five million impressions on their posts each month for the past three months, and pass a human review process. Initially, the feature will be rolled out to a selected group of users before being expanded to a wider audience.
In related news, Elon Musk recently shared statistics regarding the rise in “Total User Active Seconds” on Twitter, noting a 3.5% increase in usage worldwide week over week. Musk’s tweet, accompanied by a data visualization chart, revealed that a significant majority of active users (approximately 87%) accessed Twitter through mobile devices. The United Kingdom topped the list in terms of user active seconds at 7.2%, followed by Japan at 5.7%.
The comparison between Twitter’s popularity in Japan and the United States caught attention, with one user questioning the disparity. Musk responded, stating that Twitter usage per capita in Japan is roughly triple that of the United States. Additionally, mobile usage accounted for 87.6% of active seconds, prompting suggestions to prioritize mobile development over desktop.
In another development, Twitter has introduced a new ads revenue sharing program for creators, offering financial compensation. The platform has already begun making substantial payments to creators and is gradually rolling out the program to an initial group who will be invited to accept payment. Several creators have already shared the amounts they received through the new program, with one creator earning $37,050 and another receiving $11,820. This move by Twitter aims to incentivize and support content creators on the platform.
