X offers selected creators $5,000 for original videos posted on 15 days

• A shared X invitation promises $5,000 for posting 15 original videos across 15 separate days within 30 days, according to the offer shared by AIandDesign.
• The bonus has no performance requirement, and creators’ own previously published videos count, as the invitation specifies.
• Offer amounts vary: AIandDesign reported receiving a $500 invitation in a reply.

Previously published clips can qualify without watermarks, according to the pilot announcement, mirrored by Twiscan. A Japanese community roundup also reports $1,500 and $3,000 invitations alongside the $500 and $5,000 offers.

X promises “guaranteed pay” for completing a publishing schedule:

• Output: 15 videos that belong to the creator.
• Cadence: posts on at least 15 different days.
• Window: a 30-day period.
• Performance: no performance requirement.

The separate-day condition rules out completing the offer with a single batch upload.

X is testing Video Kickstart Bonus as an invite-only pilot, Storyboard18 reports.

AIandDesign confirmed receiving a $500 offer and guessed that “bigGER accounts” were being selected. That account-size explanation was the creator’s assessment, rather than an eligibility rule stated in the invitation.

The creator initially objected to the apparent focus on people already earning from video, before adding in a follow-up, “Oh yes I'm not complaining!”

Allegra Jacchia, who works on creator products at X, gave additional eligibility details in her announcement:

• Videos must be vertical.
• Each must be under three minutes.
• Creators must have made the content themselves.
• Videos previously shared on other platforms are eligible without watermarks.
• Invitations are rolling out over several days.

Enrollment closes October 30, 2026. The shared invitation also advertises a fast-track into Original Content Rewards, alongside the fixed bonus; its wording does not specify whether AI-generated videos qualify.
