Revenue Sharing

Ad Revenue: You will earn a share of the revenue generated from ads displayed on your content. This share is calculated based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the number of views your content receives, the number of clicks on the ads, and the value of those ads.

Premium Subscription Revenue: If a premium subscriber views your content, you will earn a portion of the subscription fee. The share is calculated based on the proportion of total premium viewing time that your content represents.
