What’s the revenue share a creator can keep?
Twitter has announced the revenue share in two tiers:
Up to $50,000 lifetime earning
Creators can keep up to 97% of the revenue generated from Ticketed Twitter Space, after deducting the platform fees on in-app purchases. Additional fees for transfer, currency conversion, e-wallet charges, etc. will be apportioned from the creator’s share.
After $50,000
Once the creator reaches $50,000 in lifetime earnings, the creator’s share will be reduced to 80% of the revenue generated from Ticketed Twitter Space.
Note: The minimum withdrawal threshold is $50, and it can take up to 10 days for the amount to reflect in your bank account. The creator is liable to pay taxes on the revenue generated according to the law of the land.
