Twitter Unveils Monetization: Users Can Earn From Their Content Now
Twitter has detailed how the Subscriptions feature works: until the collected sum is under $50,000, the user will receive 97%, with only a 3% commission for Twitter. After surpassing the aforesaid threshold, however, the platform takes a 20% cut, leaving 80% for the user instead. It should be taken into account that Apple levies a 30% fee on in-app purchases; hence commissions of 33% and 50%, respectively, apply when subscriptions are bought through an Apple device.
It has the potential to revolutionize the way content creators make money. Using Twitter, users can now monetize their content directly by setting their own subscription fees and earning a significant share of the subscription amount. In the future, Twitter may expand the feature to other countries, depending on how successful it will be in countries where it is available.
