As reported by PANews, X has introduced a new Original Content Rewards program, designed to pay creators for original ideas, expertise, reporting, creativity and commentary posted on the platform. The move also ends enrollment in the previous revenue-sharing plan for new users, effective immediately.
Users already in the old program will continue earning through September 7. After that, X will process three final payouts: August 14, August 28 and a final settlement around September 11. From September 8, those existing revenue-sharing creators can apply to join the new program, provided they meet eligibility requirements.
Under the new plan, qualifying creators earn based on eligible impressions generated by their original content. Payments are issued every two weeks, with the first disbursement scheduled for August 28. Existing revenue-sharing creators who qualify and register on or after September 8 will receive their first payment on September 25.
To apply, a user must be at least 18 years old, reside in a supported country or region, maintain an account in good standing with no repeated violations of monetization standards or terms of service, hold a personal or business account, and subscribe to X Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business. The account also needs at least 500 verified followers and at least 500,000 home timeline impressions from verified users over the previous 90 days, not including reply impressions. Creators must also post original content regularly.
