What Are Creator Subscriptions?

With Twitter’s updated creator subscription program, any user with 500 followers or more can monetize their Twitter presence.

Creators can charge subscriptions of $2.99, $4.99, or $9.99 per month for access to exclusive content. Creators can also add other paid incentives and advertise them on their accounts.

Other features for creator subscriptions include:

• Subscriber badges for people who subscribe to a creator’s content
• Exclusive, paid Tweets
• A subscribers tab for creators to see their subscribers’ Twitter activity
• A subscriber badge creators can see next to the names of users who subscribe to their content.
• Dedicated links describing your subscription offering on and off Twitter
• Subscriber only spaces

With Twitter creator subscriptions, users can monetize their audience and build an engaged following. Nonsubscribers will still be able to see your public Tweets, but they won’t have access to your exclusive content.

How Can I Find Accounts With Creator Subscriptions?

While there is no way to search specifically for accounts with creator subscriptions, it’s easy to tell if a Twitter user is a subscriber.

If you’re wondering whether a user has a creator subscription, there are several ways to find out from their profile.

Twitter creators will have several badges noting their status. You’ll see a purple badge next to the “Follow” button that will allow you to subscribe with one click.

Creators will also have a tab on their account that says “subscription Tweets.” When you click this, you’ll be prompted to “unlock more with subscriptions.” When you click “subscribe,” you’ll gain access to the creator’s exclusive Tweets.

How to Create a Creator Subscription For My Account

Becoming a Twitter creator allows you to monetize your content through the Twitter Subscription feature.

To get started, make sure you meet these eligibility requirements:

1. You’re at least 18 years old.
2. You have an active Twitter account.
3. You have a following of at least 500 people.
4. You regularly update your account with engaging content.
5. You live in an eligible country where the Twitter Subscription feature is available.

Once you determine you meet those requirements, you can follow these steps to apply:

1. Navigate to the main menu on your desktop or mobile device.
2. Click “Monetization.”
3. Click “Subscriptions.”
4. Fill out the application.
5. Wait for approval.
6. Start monetizing your account.

When Twitter has determined you meet the eligibility requirements, your status will change where you submitted your application. You’ll have to agree to Twitter’s creator subscription terms to complete the application process. Once you’re approved, you’ll be able to start offering monetized content.

How to Subscribe to Creator Subscriptions

When a creator turns on the “subscribe” feature, users will be prompted to subscribe when they visit a creator account. You can also follow these steps to subscribe to a creator:

1. Navigate to the account you want to subscribe to.
2. Click “subscribe” on the person’s profile.
3. Accept the terms and choose your subscription tier.

Subscriptions are an optional purchase, so if you don’t subscribe to a creator’s exclusive content you can still see their public Tweets.

How to Cancel Creator Subscriptions

Canceling a subscription to a creator is simple. To cancel a creator subscription:

1. Navigate to the profile of the creator with the subscription you want to cancel.
2. Select “subscriptions.”
3. Select “manage subscriptions.”
