Threads is testing a bonus program for invited users, who will receive cash rewards based on the number of views and posts they make.

To participate in the Threads Bonus Program, you must have bonuses enabled on Instagram, your Threads profile must be set to public, and all bonus program participants must agree to the Instagram Creator Incentive Terms and follow the Instagram Bonus Rules .

The conditions for posts eligible for the bonus program are as follows:
- Has been viewed more than 2,500 times
Contains text
The poster owns the rights
- The language is eligible for the bonus program
- The number of views has not been manipulated.
It’s not branded content .
- Does not violate Instagram's content monetization policies
- No logos or watermarks from third-party platforms

In order to earn rewards based on the number of impressions on X, you need to sign up for a paid plan, but at the time of writing, Threads does not have a paid plan. Also, Instagram, a related service of Threads, has a paid plan available only in Europe , but the ability to earn money on Instagram is available to free users as well. For this reason, it is highly likely that the Threads bonus program can be used for free.

X has a problem with the existence of 'impression zombies,' who repeatedly post rip-offs of trending posts or send unrelated replies to popular posts in order to increase impressions. It is unclear whether Threads' bonus program applies to 'replies to posts,' but it seems necessary to keep an eye on whether imp zombies will appear on Threads as well.
