Elon Musk recently urged Twitter users to get verified and potentially earn thousands of dollars through ad revenue sharing. However, he didn’t explain the specific process to achieve this, which involves meeting two key conditions: registering 5 million impressions per month and having over 10,000 followers.
Instead, Musk suggested joining Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service, which supposedly allows verified subscribers to earn money through ad revenue sharing. He mentioned that many accounts on the platform can make substantial income from this program.
To become a verified subscriber, Musk stated that it only takes two minutes and costs $7 per month with an annual plan. However, some users expressed frustration, saying they have been waiting for months to get their accounts verified. Others criticized Musk, pointing out that they have millions of monthly impressions but haven’t made any money from ads.
Musk mentioned that intentional payments are more complex, but the accumulation of ad revenue share from February will apply. He also indicated that Twitter will soon start paying for ads appearing when others view a user’s profile page, which could potentially double the payouts.
Notably, Musk previously acknowledged that Twitter is still facing negative cash flow due to a 50% drop in advertising revenue and a heavy debt load. He emphasized the need to achieve positive cash flow before considering other luxuries.
