Twitter introduces a new way for publishers to make cash from videos.

Twitter is hoping its new monetization options for video creators will finally resolve its revenue-sharing issues.

The company announced on Tuesday that it is expanding its creator revenue models by introducing a number of ways influencers (another term to describe social media stars) can earn money from ads.

The changes allow approved users of Twitter’s Amplify Publisher Program in the U.S. to rake in more cash by running pre-roll ads in front of their tweets that contain videos. Twitter product manager Guy Snir claims the new feature makes monetization “as simple as “checking a box.”” New options also allow users to either opt in to the pre-roll ads feature on a tweet-by-tweet basis, or automatically apply monetization to all of their videos.

Twitter claims that publishers will receive a “portion” of ad revenue, which was previously estimated to total 70 percent for users, and 30 percent for the platform.
