X has discontinued its Revenue Sharing program and switched eligible content creators to a new system called Original Content Rewards. The old program closed its signups on August 7 and ended on September 7, with the final payments going out on September 11. The new system aims to reward creators who produce original content, such as self-filmed videos, personal photography, custom illustrations, and unique written content.
To qualify, creators must be at least 18 years old, based in a supported region, have an active Premium, Premium+, or Premium Business subscription, at least 500 verified followers, and 500,000 impressions from verified accounts on their posts in the last 90 days. The first Original Content Rewards payout for existing Revenue Sharing members will be on September 25.
Payouts under the new system will be every two weeks, with the first general payout for early adopters occurring on August 28. However, creators who previously relied on reposting other people's content or low-effort engagement bait may see a decrease in earnings with the new system. If you meet the eligibility criteria, it's recommended to submit your application as soon as possible to avoid missing out on the September 25 payout.
