Creators can now start their own newsletters using the platform. They write their content. Then they publish it. The newsletters appear directly in subscribers’ feeds. People can sign up easily. They get updates whenever a new edition is published.
X handles the entire technical side. This includes hosting the content and managing subscriptions. Creators focus solely on writing. They can share their expertise or opinions. They can also share stories. Newsletters offer a stable way to connect with an audience.
Monetization options are included. Creators can set a monthly subscription fee. They keep the majority of the revenue generated. This provides a direct income stream. It rewards quality content creation.
The feature is available globally. Existing X users can activate it now. They find it under the new ‘Creator Tools’ section. New users can sign up specifically for newsletter publishing.
Newsletters offer advantages for readers too. They get curated content from trusted sources. They receive updates directly in their timeline. They avoid needing separate email subscriptions. This centralizes their information flow.
The move strengthens X’s position for professional content. It provides a built-in publishing system. Creators no longer need external platforms. This keeps engagement within the X ecosystem. It aims to attract more serious writers and journalists.
