X (formerly Twitter) said on August 8 it will launch an Original Content Rewards Program in September, phasing out the current Revenue Sharing plan. New Revenue Sharing applications are no longer accepted. Existing users keep earning through September 7, 2026, with final payouts around August 14, August 28, and September 11. From September 8, eligible creators can apply to the new plan. Payouts are based on "valid impressions" — views on X Premium users' home timelines where at least half of a post is visible — with the first payment expected around August 28. Applicants need to be 18 or older, in good account standing, subscribed to X Premium or Premium+, hold at least 500 verified followers, and have generated at least 500,000 verified-user home timeline impressions in the past 90 days, while posting original content consistently. The program rewards original writing, threads, news reporting, analysis, video, images, design work, and high-value commentary. Simple reposts, copied content, re-posts lacking analysis, and automation-driven engagement do not qualify.
X (formerly Twitter) announced on August 8 that it is rolling out an "Original Content Rewards Program," designed to pay creators for original viewpoints, professional analysis, news reporting, creative content, and commentary.
Revenue Sharing Wind-Down
The platform said it will stop accepting new applications for its Revenue Sharing plan immediately. Existing participants can keep earning until September 7, 2026, with the final three payments slated for around August 14, August 28, and September 11.
How the New Program Works
Starting September 8, qualifying creators can apply for the new rewards program. Earnings are tied to "valid impressions" — defined as impressions on X Premium users' home timelines where at least 50% of the post is visible. The first payout is expected around August 28.
Eligibility
- At least 18 years old with an account in good standing
- Active subscription to X Premium or Premium+
- At least 500 verified followers
- At least 500,000 verified-user home timeline impressions within the past 90 days
- Ongoing production of original content
What Qualifies and What Doesn't
The program prioritizes original writing, threads, news reporting, analysis, video, images, design work, and commentary with distinctive value. Simple reposts, content copied from other platforms, re-posts without substantive analysis, and engagement generated by automated tools will not earn rewards.
X said it will focus on supporting creators who bring unique perspectives, expertise, and creativity to the platform.
