Like many other social media channels, X (formerly known as Twitter) is not just a platform to express yourself but can also become a source of income. X has a number of monetization options you can leverage to earn money from your posts.
Here are some ways content creators can make money on X.
X Tips is another verified way to earn money on the social media platform, similar toTikTok’s live gifts. This monetization option lets you receive cash gifts from users who appreciate your content and want to support you. While some creators already link to their Venmo and other third-party payment services in their tweets, X Tips makes the process easier.
When the Tips feature is enabled on a profile, users only need to tap theMoneyicon on the creator’s profile page, and they’ll be directed to the payment platform. However, you’ll only see the icon on the iOS and Android versions, as it is currently not available on the web.
X does not take a percentage of the tip. Though you may still receive a charge from the third-party payment service you decide to use. Furthermore, X still places an age restriction, and anyone under 18 years is not permitted to give or accept tips.
To enable Tips on your X account, go toEdit Profileand click onTips. You will be redirected to the General Tipping Policy screen which if you accept will bring you to the Tips settings screen. Toggle on theAllow Tipsbutton and choose the third-party payment service you’d like to use.

The new X monetization features are a great opportunity for content creators to make the most of their craft. Nevertheless, these opportunities are not without their restrictions and guidelines many of which are geared towards encouraging organic content and compliance with the X’s guidelines.
