Monetization FAQ
Publishers should be specific and tag their content based on the categories that best describe the video. We allow a maximum of 2 categories. Advertisers participating in this program are targeting content categories, and over-selecting and/or misidentifying content can lead to issues pairing ads with videos.
The publisher’s “estimated earnings” are shown in the analytics tab. They are displayed on a 2 day delay. All figures are estimates, and there can be deltas between the estimates and the final payment amounts. Please see the partner terms for additional details.
Twitter will pay publishers 60 days after the last day of the calendar month in which the earnings occur. For example, June earnings will be paid at the end of August. Payments are sent automatically and an email notification is sent to the contact name in the payment details.
