Making money on Twitter just got a whole lot easier. The company announced the launch of its Amplify Publisher Program, which will give creators of all sizes the ability to generate revenue through pre-roll ads that run against their Twitter videos.

In an attempt to compete with much larger video-distribution platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, Twitter will now pay individual video creators a share of the advertising revenue that is generated by their videos.

The monetization feature, known as the Amplify Publisher program, was previously open only to a small group of publishers and media partners such as BuzzFeed, Vox Media, and Time Inc. (which owns Fortune).

Activating pre-rolls is only open to ‘approved’ creators in the U.S., writes Twitter’s director of product management, Guy Snir, in a company blog post, but is as easy as checking a box prior to Tweeting. Creators can choose to monetize Tweet-by-Tweet, or pre-set a monetization option for all of their videos. In addition, monetization isn’t exclusive to Twitter – meaning users can opt to run ads against the same content on other platforms as well.

Users can sign up for the Amplify Publisher program here. And whereas YouTube lets creators keep 55% of advertising revenues and pockets the other 45%, Twitter will reportedly enable users to take home 70% of ad revenues.

The Amplify Publisher Program is an expansion of Twitter’s Amplify advertising program, which launched in 2013 and enables big-name publishers like MTV, Sports Illustrated, TIME, and The Huffington Post to monetize their premium videos with pre-roll ads. And Amplify Publisher represents yet another revenue stream for creators on top of Niche, writes Snir, which works with 35,000 leading creators on branded campaigns, and also hosts exclusive creator meet-ups and access to cross-platform analytics.

The expanded program will allow anyone who has been approved by the company to make money from pre-roll ads on their videos by simply checking a box before they post it to the network, according to a blog post written by Guy Snir.

Video creators can choose whether to add the advertising feature to each clip they post, or can opt in to having advertising added to all of the videos they upload, and they maintain the right to monetize the same content on other video platforms.


In order to help creators upload, manage, publish, and monetize videos on Twitter, the company announced a new desktop site called Media Studio. Within the Media Studio, users will able to see a unified library of all their videos, GIFs, and images. The Studio will also support multiple accounts and give users the ability to pre-schedule Tweets.

Twitter hasn’t said how it will choose which users are approved for the new program, but it does have more than 35,000 content creators who are signed up with Niche, the marketing startup it acquired last year that helps video artists on Twitter’s Vine service connect with brands.

The company has been criticized in the past by video creators who use Vine for not helping them make money on their videos, something that has driven some users to YouTube.

The Alphabet subsidiary rolled out its YouTube Red subscription service last year, in what it said was an attempt to generate more dependable revenue for artists and media entities that use the service to host their content, and some Vine artists have moved to that model.

Facebook, meanwhile, doesn’t currently monetize its videos through pre-roll advertising, but it has been paying both media companies and individuals to use its live-streaming feature. According to one report, the social network is paying some Vine artists as much as $ 24,000 per video to use the feature.

In June, Twitter released a stand-alone app called Twitter Engage that allows celebrities to track their content and interact with fans, and the app will now have a section called ‘Earnings’ that allows users to see how much they have made from the Amplify program.

On Twitter’s previously announced standalone Engage app, which offers creators down-to-the-second analytics and surfaces @mentions and follows from fellow influencers and loyal fans, there will now be an ‘Earnings’ section enabling users to track revenues from ads as well as their Niche campaigns. Users can apply for Media Studio access at studio.twitter.com, or sign up for the Amplify Publisher Program and Niche inside the new ‘Earnings’ tab within Engage.
