Twitter Monetization

Twitter offers two video monetization programs, Amplify Pre-roll, and Amplify Sponsorships.

A low-friction way for publishers to monetize on Twitter.

Twitter is the fastest way to find out what’s happening in the world, and video is the best way to show it. Today, publishers can post videos of up to 10 minutes with each Tweet. Even better, you can monetize those videos with Amplify Pre-roll.

Available to partners in the Amplify Publisher Program, Amplify Pre-roll automatically pair pre-roll from advertisers with premium, brand-safe video content on Twitter using the tags you’ve chosen for each video. It’s an easy and effective way to drive additional revenue for publishers.
