To be eligible for the payout, creators must have at least 500 followers and 15 million organic impressions on their cumulative posts in the last three months. They must also be X Premium subscribers. The minimum payout is $50.
The payouts have been huge, with some creators reporting receiving thousands of dollars. The highest payout so far is over $100,000.

Twitter currently offers two creator monetisation programs to users. There’s an Ad revenue share that pays out a portion of ad revenue from ads shown in the replies to users’ tweets. The second one is creator subscriptions that allows users to post subscriber-only tweets that can only be seen by people paying a subscription fee to that account.
Eligible users need to set their payout account from Twitter Settings and confirm their payment method. Stripe is the only payment method Twitter offers at the moment.
