Threads Is the Best Platform to Earn Money as a Writer in 2025

Yes you could earn up to $7,000 per month!

If you’ve been spending time on Threads lately and noticed people casually mentioning payouts from Meta, you’re not imagining things. Maybe you wondered, “Wait, Threads is paying writers now?”

The answer is yes. Meta has quietly rolled out a Threads bonus program that pays creators simply for posting, no massive following needed. But before you jump in, there are some important details you need to know.

Let’s walk through exactly how it works

First Thing: Are You Eligible?

Before you start planning your Threads strategy, you need to check if you’re even eligible for the program. As of now, the bonus is only available to users in these 13 countries:

• United States
• Canada
• United Kingdom
• Australia
• Germany
• France
• Italy
• Spain
• India
• Brazil
• Mexico
• Japan
• South Korea

If you’re outside these regions, unfortunately, you won’t be eligible to get an invitation. Hopefully, Meta expands it soon, but you could still continue reading the article :)

How the Threads Bonus Program Works

Here’s the short version: Meta rewards consistency, not just virality.

You get paid for posting what they call “qualifying Threads.” To count as qualifying, a Thread needs to reach a certain number of views. How many? That depends on your individual payout tier, which Meta assigns to you.

These are the three known view thresholds:

• Tier 1: 750 views
• Tier 2: 1,750 views
• Tier 3: 5,000 views

It doesn’t matter if your post gets 5,001 views or 5 million — once it crosses the minimum, it counts as one qualifying Thread.

Meta is rewarding you for how often you create engaging posts, not for one-off viral hits.

In other words: when it comes to Threads bonuses, quantity beats occasional quality.

How Much Can You Earn?

Meta uses a milestone system to determine payouts. The more qualifying Threads you post, the more milestones you unlock — and the more money you earn.

Here’s how the milestones are structured:

• First milestone: 5 qualifying Threads
• Second milestone: +5 more (total: 10)
• Third milestone: +10 more (total: 20)
• Fourth milestone: +15 more (total: 35)
• Fifth milestone: +25 more (total: 60)

To max out your bonus, you’ll need 60 qualifying Threads.

But it’s easier than it sounds — even your replies count. As long as they reach the view threshold, comments and replies are just as valuable as original posts.

You don’t have to post 60 mind-blowing Threads, either. Staying active and showing up consistently is the real key.

Do You Need to Be Famous to Get Paid?

Nope, and that’s one of the best parts about Threads in 2025.

Some people with just a few hundred followers have been invited to the bonus program. Meanwhile, others with tens of thousands of followers are still waiting.

Here’s what seems to increase your chances of getting an invite:

• Posting consistently
• Getting decent engagement (likes, comments, reposts)
• Keeping a clean account with no violations

You don’t need to be verified, and you don’t need to be a celebrity. Threads is rewarding active members who contribute to the community regularly, not just big names.

So if you want the best chance of getting in, keep your content steady, authentic, and community-driven.

Is It Worth It?

If you’re already posting on Threads, absolutely.

The worst-case scenario?

You don’t get invited, and you’re right back where you started.

The best case?

You get paid to do exactly what you’re already doing: writing and engaging with others.

That said, if Threads doesn’t feel like a natural fit for you, it might not be worth chasing the bonus. Meta is looking for organic activity, not people gaming the system.

But if you’ve been thinking about getting more serious on Threads, this is the perfect motivation to start.

It’s rare to find a platform in 2025 that’s paying regular writers for simply showing up and right now, Threads is leading the way.
