Tian Ta, X has made a major adjustment to content creators: the rewards for creators in Greater China have disappeared directly! The place of residence must be on the list of supported countries/regions. Starting from today, new registrations will no longer be accepted. Old users can continue to earn money until September 7th, after which there will be final settlements (on August 14th, 28th, and around September 11th). Starting from September 8th, old revenue sharing users can apply to transfer to this new plan. The core is to only reward 'original content'. The result will be available 3 days after application. If rejected, you can appeal again. If rejected again, you need to wait for 90 days before applying again. The application threshold for the new plan is: Over 18 years old, with a good account status Subscribe to X Premium/Premium+/Premium Business Subscribe to X Advanced/Advanced+/Advanced Business At least 500 certified fans In the past 90 days, the homepage timeline has been exposed to at least 500000 verified users (excluding replies) Frequently post original content We also need to go through official review (results will be available within 3 working days, if not approved, we can appeal once, but we will have to wait for 90 days) The official statement clearly states that simply forwarding, moving, making minor changes to the image, adding a watermark, and casually writing two sentences of description... these are not counted. You must truly add your own perspectives, analysis, creativity, expertise, stories, or meaningful comments. Qualified exposure: Only X Premium users (paying subscribers) who see your post on the homepage timeline and at least 50% of the content is visible count. Settlement is made every two weeks. In the past, many people did X with a relatively simple idea: find hotspots → rewrite → match images → send them out → wait for traffic. What X really wants to reward are those who have their own judgment, can provide incremental information, and can continuously output opinions. So the biggest significance of X for creators this time is not just "having another channel to make money", but the platform starting to turn its original ability itself into a quantifiable asset. Especially in the highly information intensive fields of Crypto, AI, and finance, it may become increasingly evident in the future: People who move hot topics earn traffic, those who understand hot topics earn influence, and those who can continuously create viewpoints earn long-term value. What should we do next? I think the most important thing is not to study 'how to take this reward', but to ask oneself in reverse: Can I become someone who others are willing to pay attention to, quote, and wait for me to share my opinions? There are three specific things that can be done: 1. Change from "forwarding news" to "explaining news" Don't just tell others what happened. But rather: What happened → Why is it important → Who will be affected → What may happen next. The same news, others are sending messages, you are sending judgments, this is the difference in content. 2. Establish your own content tags If we talk about BTC today, AI tomorrow, Meme the day after tomorrow, and suddenly talk about the US stock market, there may be traffic in the short term, but it is difficult to form a true personal understanding. A better way is to continuously output around several long-term tracks. For example: Crypto+AI+US stock/macro+market observation Slowly help others form a perception: I'm worth taking a look at the things on this account This is much more important than a single viral article. 3. Don't just pursue popular products, pursue continuity I think this is the more noteworthy aspect behind this policy. If the platform increasingly values Original Content, then the real advantage is not the person who occasionally writes a viral article, but the person who can continuously provide original information and perspectives. So the next step is to treat the account as a long-term media: responsible for attracting new followers through hot topics → responsible for retaining in-depth perspectives → responsible for building awareness through series of content → responsible for creating long-term original content to form a personal brand. The most valuable thing on Future X may not be who posts the fastest, but who can think one step ahead of others in the same hot topic.
