X Launches Invite-Only Creator Bonus Offering $3,000 for 15 Videos
What Happened
X is piloting an invite-only program called Video Kickstart Bonus that offers selected creators a fixed payment of $3,000 (about ₹2.85 lakh) for publishing at least 15 eligible videos across 15 different days within a 30-day period. The videos must be vertical, under three minutes long, and primarily original content. Enrollment for invited participants closes on October 30, 2026, according to program details shared by creator-product executive Allegra Jacchia
Key Takeaways
The pilot signals X's continued focus on video content. Unlike many creator-monetization schemes, the bonus is reportedly a fixed payment not tied to views or engagement. Participation is limited to invited creators, and X has not publicly disclosed its selection criteria.
