Twitter users now have the opportunity to earn money through ads in the replies to their tweets.
This revenue-sharing program was announced by Twitter owner Elon Musk in February, and some users have already shared details of their first payments.
For example, writer Brian Krassenstein received just over $24,000, while creator SK earned $2,236, and political commentator Benny Johnson was paid nearly $10,000.
These initial payments will be sent out in the next 72 hours.
The amount received has been accumulating since February.
To be eligible for payments, users must be subscribed to Twitter Blue or Verified Organizations, have at least five million impressions on their posts in each of the last three months, and pass human review for creator monetization standards.
They also need a Stripe account for payouts.
Twitter will soon launch an application process for the revenue-sharing program.
This move by Twitter aims to attract more users to join the subscription-based Twitter Blue tier and retain high-profile users who were hesitant to sign up after Musk removed their blue checkmarks earlier this year.
