Twitter Spaces was enabled for all iOS and Android users in early May, and now takes a new step with the launch of a paid feature. In the coming weeks, users of the social network in the United States will be able to sell tickets to enter their live audio rooms . However, this option will not be available to everyone, but to accounts that meet a series of requirements.
Those who wish to apply to monetize Twitter Spaces must be over 18 years old, have more than a thousand followers and have organized at least three audio rooms in the last 30 days. The Verge clarifies that, although at the moment only US users can host Spaces with paid access, anyone in the world can buy tickets to participate .
Twitter's 'Ticketed Spaces' feature will analyze initial requests in a matter of weeks. Thus, in principle it will be available for testing by a small group of users. Regarding the processing of payments, the new Twitter Spaces option will depend on Stripe . For this reason, an account in said service will also be mandatory.
The hosts would have to pay a commission to both the social network and Google or Apple , depending on which devices they use. According to the available information, the App Store and Play Store would impose the 30% fee for purchases within the application, while Twitter would take 20% of the final amount.

With this new monetization option, Twitter hopes that more content creators will generate products that are attractive to the user community. In addition, it is a good tool to gain followers in a context of a lot of competition between Clubhouse clones .
Remember that the social network has presented other tools to generate income , such as Super Follow and sending money to favorite accounts. On the other hand, Twitter continues with the development of its paid version with exclusive functions and a monthly cost of $ 2.99.
