Original Content Rewards replaces Creator Revenue Sharing. X closed Revenue Sharing to new enrollments on August 7, 2026 and retires it on September 7, 2026. The retiring program paid on engagement from Premium users, at a creator-reported effective rate of roughly $8 to $12 per million total impressions. The replacement pays on qualified impressions instead: unique views from Premium subscribers on the Home Timeline where at least half the post is visible, with replies excluded. X discloses no formula or rate for it and nobody has been paid under it yet, so treat any per-impression figure quoted for the new program as guesswork.
Subscriptions. Exclusive content for paying followers at a monthly price you pick from the points X offers; X does not publish those price points, so treat any specific dollar tier quoted elsewhere as unverified. You keep up to about 97% of gross, and the rest is payment processing and app store fees, not an X cut. Best for creators who can ship consistent premium content.
Ticketed Spaces and Tips. Ticketed Spaces are paid live audio at $1 to $999 per ticket, ideal for workshops, Q&As, and expert panels. Tips has zero requirements and X takes no cut; enable it in your profile settings today.
Where to find your stats. Followers are on your profile. Organic impressions are in X Analytics (analytics.x.com) under Posts, summed over the last 90 days. Account age is the Joined date on your profile.
Beyond platform monetization. Many creators earn more from brand sponsorships than from platform programs. The X Sponsorship Rate Calculator prices sponsored posts, threads, and Spaces.
