What did they do?
X supports tips on profiles, and many creators sell sponsored posts directly to brands.
What were the results?
Sponsored posts must be clearly disclosed (e.g. #ad), per FTC guidance and X's paid partnership rules.
What tools do you need?
Just the platform account.
How much does it cost?
No paid tools needed: this case uses only the platform itself, which is free to join.
Is it allowed?
X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.
Worth knowing
Never hide that a post is paid.
What prompt can I copy?
Write a sponsored X post for [brand/product] that is honest, useful and clearly marked as an ad.
