Twitter may have changed, but X still offers huge opportunities for earning money if you know how to use it right.

Like many other social media channels, X (formerly known as Twitter) is not just a platform to express yourself but can also become a source of income. X has a number of monetization options you can leverage to earn money from your posts.

How you can become eligible

To be considered eligible for creator ads revenue sharing, you must:

Be subscribed to X Premium or Verified Organizations.
Have at least 5M organic impressions on your cumulative posts within the last three months.
Have at least 500 followers.

YouTube sensation MrBeast said he made over $263,000 from a single post on X — but added that it’s a “bit of a facade” and that others would have a hard time raking in such profits on the Elon Musk-owned platform.

Here is how some creators and entrepreneurs are making money with and on X.

Tiffany Fong, a Crypto influencer with 100,000 followers who interviews bad boys of Crypto and covers the frauds of Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinskiy, recently posted that she received $269.08 within two weeks of posting.

In a recent video post on X, Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, shared that he earned a whopping $263,000 from a single post on Elon Musk's platform. However, he admitted that others might not have the same success on the platform. In the video, titled "$1 vs $100,000,000 Car!", Donaldson test drives a range of luxury cars ranging from a $1 "rust bucket" to a $20 million McLaren F1, which he drove alongside Jay Leno.

A week after the video went live, Donaldson shared a screenshot of the post's performance, showing nearly 160 million impressions and over 5 million engagements. He also revealed that advertisers bought ads on the video, leading to higher revenue per view than what might be expected.

MY FIRST X VIDEO MADE OVER $250,000! 😲

But it’s a bit of a facade. Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience pic.twitter.com/nViVpZbWBb

He also turned around and just gave ten people $25K each for reposting his X post, a free lottery ticket that paid well. So, regardless of what you do, go to X, open an account, and start learning and earning, too. https://twitter.com/MrBeast
