Twitter Ad Revenue Sharing: Indian Creators React As They Start Receiving Money From X

Last month, Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter launched its 'Creator Ads Revenue Sharing' program.

Many Blue subscribers started receiving payments soon after the announcement.

Now, Indian Twitter users have also started receiving the ad revenue from Twitter.

Elated users have shared screenshots of the amount deposited in their bank accounts by X.

Co-founder of Hood app Abhishek Asthana who goes by the name 'Gabbar' on Twitter claimed he received Rs 2,09,282 from X. He has 1.4 million followers on the platform.

Another user named 'Maithun' shared a screenshot which claimed that Rs 3,51,000 has been deposited in his bank account.

Take a look at some of the other accounts who have claimed to receive ad revenue share from Twitter.

Elon Musk on August 5 had tweeted that to be eligible for ad revenue share, a user must be an X Premium (Blue) subscriber.

"The ad money will otherwise be kept by X if you are not an X Premium (Blue) subscriber. This program is open to everyone," he said.

Meanwhile, a note on Twitter's Ads Revenue Sharing page states that "the volume of people signing up for revenue sharing has exceeded our expectations."

"We previously said that payments would occur the week of July 31st. We need a bit more time to review everything for the next payout and hope to get all eligible accounts paid as soon as possible."
