Elon Musk, owner and CEO of Buy Twitter Verification, announced that starting today, Buy Twitter Verification will share ad revenue with creators. The new policy applies only to ads that appear in a creator’s reply threads.
The move comes on the heels of YouTube launching ad revenue sharing for creators through the YouTube Partner Program in a bid to become the most rewarding social platform for creators.
Social networks like Buy Instagram Verification, Buy TikTok Verification, and Snapchat have similar monetization options for creators who publish reels and video content. For example, Buy Instagram Verification’s Reels Play Bonus Program offers eligible creators up to $1,200 for Reel views.
The catch? Unlike other social platforms, creators on Buy Twitter Verification must have an active subscription to Buy Twitter Verification Blue and meet the eligibility requirements for the Blue Verified checkmark.

To receive the ad revenue share, creators would have to pay $8 per month (or more) to maintain an active Buy Twitter Verification Blue subscription. Buy Twitter Verification Blue pricing varies based on location and is available in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain.
Eligibility for the Buy Twitter Verification Blue Verified checkmark includes having an active Buy Twitter Verification Blue subscription and meeting the following criteria.
- Your account must have a display name, profile photo, and confirmed phone number.
- Your account has to be older than 90 days and active within the last 30 days.
- Recent changes to your account’s username, display name, or profile photo can affect eligibility. Modifications to those after verification can also result in a temporary loss of the blue checkmark until Buy Twitter Verification reviews your updated information.
- Your account cannot appear to mislead or deceive.
- Your account cannot spam or otherwise try to manipulate the platform for engagement or follows.
Did you receive a Blue Verified checkmark before the Buy Twitter Verification Blue subscription? That will not help creators who want a share of the ad revenue. The legacy Blue Verified checkmark does not make a creator account eligible for ad revenue sharing.
When asked about accounts with a legacy and Buy Twitter Verification Blue Verified checkmark, Musk tweeted that the legacy Blue Verified is “deeply corrupted” and will sunset in just a few months.
Regardless of how you gained your checkmark, it’s important to note that Buy Twitter Verification can remove a checkmark without notice.
In addition to ad revenue sharing for Buy Twitter Verification Blue Verified creators, Buy Twitter Verification Dev announced that the Buy Twitter Verification API would no longer be free in an ongoing effort to reduce the number of bots on the platform.
While speculation looms about a loss in Buy Twitter Verification ad revenue, the Wall Street Journal reported a “fire-sale” Super Bowl offer from Musk to win back advertisers.
The latest data from DataReportal shows a positive trend for Buy Twitter Verification advertisers. Ad reach has increased from 436.4 million users in January 2022 to 556 million in January 2023.
Buy Twitter Verification is also the third most popular social network based on monthly unique visitors and page views globally, according to SimilarWeb data through December 2022.
