❓ Are You Actually Set Up to Get Paid on 𝕏… or Just Posting?
The rev share rules just changed. Creators get paid by impressions now.
🚨 What Just Dropped
X just made it official:
2026 = the year of the creator.
The Creator Revenue Share just got a major upgrade.
Here’s what changed ⤵︎
→ Revenue Sharing pool more than doubled
→ Payouts are calculated differently
Earnings = Verified Home Timeline impressions
↳ Views from Premium users
↳ Only if you show up on the home feed
↳ No longer based on engagement
↳ Content quality is rewarded more directly
↳ Articles & long-form > quick throwaway posts
↳ Earnings dashboard incoming
↳ Real transparency into what’s actually making you money
This is the update creators have been asking for.
But… with all these upgrades, it’s going to be increasingly difficult to get monetized. So do it while you can. Lemme show you how 👇🏽

🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨
WHAT YOU NEED:
5 MILLION impressions the hardest to get so let’s get into it
This is the exact playbook I used to get monetized without SPAMMING 👇🏽
1️⃣ REPLY BUT WITH INTENTION
I split replies into three lists:
🔸 Peers → similar size
🔸 Quality Creators → 10K–100K
🔸 Giants → 500K–1M+
Each list does something different ⤵︎
⤷ Peers → build real connections
⤷ Quality Creators → network + visibility + access to their community
⤷ Giants → impressions + access to people in your niche in their comments
Important thing to realize:
Replies = traffic to your profile.
Traffic = profile clicks
Profile clicks = potential follower
So make sure to keep your profile optimized:

If your profile isn’t primed, you’re wasting the immense amount of traffic you are bring to your profile while you’re .
2️⃣ USE LISTS
Steal my lists, or add people from here and add them to your own so you can reply to accounts that are relevant to you and your niche:
☑ Giants List (500K–1M+) → Check out this list
☑ Everyday Frens (Peers + Quality Creators) → Check out this list
How to use them ⤵︎
→ Turn notifications on for some accounts
→ Reply as soon as they post
Pro Tip: If you don’t make it, don’t skip the post entirely… do this ↯
3️⃣ COMMENT UNDER COMMENTS
This is where most people mess up.
Don’t just reply to the main post.
Reply to the replies too.
Why ⤵︎
→ Impressions stack up
→ More actual conversations (find your tribe as you go)
→ You build familiarity with the original poster because your name pops up
And fun fact, it also tells the algo that you are here for conversations and not just replying for the sake of replying.
That familiarity matters. It increases the odds your future replies get pushed higher.
4️⃣ MAKE YOUR REPLIES MEANINGFUL
Every strong reply does three things:
→ Adds value (insight, humor, support)
→ Matches the tone of the post
→ Invites conversation (question, follow-up, wit)
⚠️ ALSO:
Quoting your own posts under someone else’s reply = spammy and a turn off.
(unless it’s actually relevant of course)

5️⃣ DON’T IGNORE YOUR OWN CONTENT
Replies bring people to your profile.
Your content makes them follow you.
If your content sucks ⤵︎
All these impressions and profile click will be useless.
Use the attention you are getting while monetizing to future proof yourself.
Now that you get paid for verified impressions on your standalone posts, the better content you create, the higher chances of you getting paid $$ when you do monetize
Remember:
You only get paid when verified accounts see your posts.
🧠 Bonus Tips
▪ Keep replies short, smart, on-topic
▪ Use images/memes when relevant (media = reach)
▪ Don’t spam links or quote posts
▪ Don’t reply too fast — bot-like behavior will get you flagged
▪ Repurpose strong replies and turn them into posts
▪ Speak in Spaces (especially with people you already reply to)
▪ Review your replies → double down on what works → stop what isn’t working
💡 The Big Picture
𝕏 is telling you exactly what it wants now:
→ Verified views
→ Real humans
→ Quality content
→ Real conversations
If you activate monetization now, you’re STILL gonna be early.
If you wait, the bar will rise. It always does. There’s already been talks about raising requirements to 15 Million Impressions in 90 days.
This is your window.
SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ONE
