The microblogging site Twitter has added a new feature ‘Ticketed Spaces’, which will be a new monetization tool for its Spaces audio features.
According to ANI, US-based users can apply separately for each program through Twitter’s mobile app. Super Follows are restricted to iOS, while the Ticketed Spaces are available for iOS and Android.
Twitter will select a “small group” of users to test its new monetization features, both of which were announced earlier this year.
The Super Follows feature lets users charge USD 2.99, USD 4.99, or USD 9.99 per month for access to exclusive content.
The feature will charge between USD 1 and USD 999 for access to one of Twitter’s social audio rooms, and it offers extra features like setting a room size cap.
Users can see if they’re eligible to apply by checking a new “Monetization” option in the mobile app sidebar.
The test group participants will initially keep 97 percent of the money that they make with Ticketed Spaces or Super Follows, after the fee that iOS and Android charge for in-app purchases.
Twitter will increase its cut from 3 percent to 20 percent if a user makes a total of USD 50,000 on both systems.
A far more generous revenue spill has been added since a preview of Ticketed Spaces last month.
