As you’ll be able to see right here, the brand new dashboard will present oversight into your numerous revenue streams within the app, together with knowledge on Ticketed Areas and Tremendous Follows, together with an total payout tracker that can assist you keep on prime of your efficiency.

As defined by Twitter:

“[Creator Dashboard] is designed to assist creators additional perceive how they generate income on Twitter and the way a lot they’re incomes from monetization options, Ticketed Areas and Tremendous Follows. Simply accessible from the Monetization tab, the dashboard is a transparent approach for creators to look by their cost historical past and see particulars about upcoming payouts.”

As famous, it’s the most recent in Twitter’s evolving suite of monetization instruments, which have turn into a much bigger focus for the app over the previous yr, because it seems to offer supplementary revenue streams for creators which were impacted by the pandemic, whereas additionally preserving in style customers tweeting extra usually.

Over the previous yr, Twitter has added:

• Skilled Profiles for companies and creators, which offer extra alternative to advertise your enterprise and choices within the app
• Tremendous Follows, which allows creators to set a month-to-month subscription charge (as much as $9.99) for add-on choices and unique content material for followers
• Ticketed Areas for broadcasters, with 97% of any income generated going again to the creator
• On-profile tipping, which it just lately expanded to incorporate extra cost choices, which is able to allow customers in additional areas to simply accept funds

To date, none of those parts appears to have turn into a large consideration or income stream for the app. Nevertheless it’s early days, and if Twitter’s in a position to set up a self-sustaining creator eco-system of any form, that may solely assist to gasoline on-platform engagement.

Like all social platforms; Twitter’s additionally trying to make sure it’s aggressive on this entrance, no less than to a point, as a result of if creators can earn extra money from one platform or one other, you greatest consider that’ll ultimately be the place their focus shifts. That might see different platforms relegated inside the broader ‘creator economic system’ because of this, which is able to see their total viewers share dip.

It’s a tough problem for Twitter, as a result of for years, customers have gotten all Twitter content material without spending a dime, so asking them to pay for additional now could be a ordinary shift that can take a while to mattress down or implement. Then once more, Twitter can also be nonetheless rising in new markets, and if Twitter can instill this conduct early, and get creators interested by construct their viewers by add-on monetization instruments, that is also one other path to take.

However I think most customers might be hesitant to pay to Tremendous Comply with, whereas I additionally suspect that many creators received’t have something important to supply by way of add-on content material for his or her paying followers.

As a result of establishing a viable, invaluable stream of distinctive content material is tough, and whereas some folks may suppose that they’ve robust, devoted Twitter followings, that they’ve constructed over time, asking them to pay up is a complete completely different equation – and that’s earlier than you even consider that it’s worthwhile to present additional for these customers.

However for these which might be making the shift into subscriber tweet content material, this new dashboard might be a giant assist, and very like related instruments on YouTube and Fb, it should assist customers monitor, plan and strategize their presence.

Twitter additionally says that it’ll look to construct on the Creator Dashboard over time.

The brand new Creator Dashboard is now obtainable to US creators on iOS which have participated in Ticketed Areas and/or Tremendous Follows, and have greater than 10k followers.
