Understanding Twitter Ad Revenue Sharing

Twitter’s ad revenue sharing is a novel feature that enables creators to share in the revenue generated by sponsored posts appearing under their tweets. Verified creators can access a portion of the revenue generated by ads displayed in the comments section of their posts. While the exact calculation and the percentage retained by Twitter remain somewhat ambiguous, accounts must have accumulated a minimum of 5 million impressions on their tweets in the preceding three months to be eligible for participation. This ensures that creators have attained a certain level of engagement and exposure before engaging in the revenue-sharing arrangement.
