Ever since Twitter became X, there have been many changes that users won’t stop talking about. One of the most talked about changes is its subscription-based X premium. There are many reasons why this subscription service is a hot topic and we’re here to fill you in on the gist.
In this post, we’ll discuss what X Premium is, how to subscribe to X Premium, and finally, how users can make money through X Premium. Stay with us!
What is X Premium?
X Premium was formerly known as Twitter Blue and is a paid subscription service that allows access to several select features for individual users. Some of these features include a verification tag, the ability to edit tweets, increased character count, extended video limit, and additional two-factor authentication.
How Much Does it Cost to Subscribe to X Premium?
There is no single answer to this question. X Premium subscription prices vary by region and device. Generally, U.S. subscribers pay $11 per month or $115 per year if they subscribe using the Android or iOS app.
On the other hand, subscriptions using a web browser cost $8 per month or $85 per month. This is the amount that X users in Nigeria pay for X Premium subscriptions.
Features of X Premium
X Premium’s main feature is the verification and blue check mark. However, there are many other exclusive features available to X Premium subscribers. Let’s take a quick look at these features:
- Edit Posts
For the longest time, X users have been asking for an edit button and finally, it came with the rebranding. X Premium allows users to make a limited number of changes to a published post within 30 minutes. Currently, this applies to only original posts and quote posts.
- Undo Posts
This option allows you to retract a post after you send it but before it’s publicly viewable. However, once the undo window of time has passed, you need to delete it as usual.
- Bookmark Folders
With this feature, you can group bookmarked posts into various folders and organize them as you wish. These folders will remain private and you’re allowed access to an unlimited number of bookmarks and folders.
- Longer Posts
For a long time, the character limit had been a major concern for Twitter (now X) users. Thankfully, with an X Premium subscription, users can now make posts with as many as 4,000 characters. This is a lot more impressive than the original 280-character limit.
- Longer Video Uploads
For X Premium subscribers, you can upload 1080p videos up to 60 minutes long if you’re using the web. For mobile app users, you can upload videos up to 10 minutes long.
How to Apply for X Premium in Nigeria
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply for X premium in Nigeria:
- Go to Blue on your X app
You’ll find the menu button on your app’s top left corner. Click it and you’ll find the “Premium” option. Click on “Premium”.
- Verify your phone number
If you haven’t verified your phone number previously, you’ll be asked to verify it. Please remember that you won’t be able to proceed with the application for X Premium if you haven’t verified your phone number.
- Make Payment
Once you’ve concluded verification, the next step is to make a payment. If you reside in Nigeria, you may have issues with the payment if you do not have a dollar transaction-enabled card. This is due to the ban placed on Naira cards for international transactions.
However, Changera’s EasyDollar card solves this problem for you easily. You can get a virtual dollar card by downloading the Changera mobile app and creating an account for free.
- Access to X Premium Features
After successfully making payment (which will be the case when you use the EasyDollar card by Changera), you’ll be granted access to all X Premium features as stated earlier.
If you want to go a step further and start making money on X, you can apply for the revenue-sharing program.
Final Thoughts
X (formerly Twitter) enthusiasts are bound to see and enjoy more features with X Premium. What’s even better is that as an X subscriber, you can make money through ad revenue sharing. Once you have a large audience and can get enough impressions, you’re qualified for ad revenue sharing.
Subscribing to X Premium is an avenue to make extra money and Changera has made the process simpler. Once you create a virtual dollar card, payment becomes simplified, and you don’t have to worry about failed transactions.
