How you get paid

You’re paid per thousand views

Every campaign has a rate — its CPM. A $2.00 CPM means you earn $2.00 for every 1,000 views your clip gets on that campaign. 500,000 views at a $2.00 CPM is $1,000.

The rate is shown on every campaign before you apply. It doesn’t change once you’re on.

Two caps, so one person can’t take the whole budget

A single clip can earn at most 13.33% of the campaign’s total budget. A single creator can earn at most 40% of it across all their clips.

Both caps are a percentage of the budget, not a fixed dollar amount — so on a $7,000 campaign, one clip tops out around $933 and one creator around $2,800. On a smaller campaign, the same percentages mean smaller numbers.

If a clip hits its cap you’ll see it marked as capped rather than silently paying less than the view count suggests. Some campaigns set different caps; the campaign page shows its own.

When the budget runs out, it runs out

A campaign’s budget is fixed. Once it’s fully spent, further views earn $0 — including on clips that were already earning. That isn’t a bug or a penalty, and it isn’t reversed later.

This is why the board shows how much budget is left on each campaign. A campaign with most of its budget gone is a worse bet than a fresh one, and you should be able to see that before you spend an evening editing.

When the money actually reaches you

Earnings accrue while a campaign is live, and they move as views move — your total can go up, and it can go down if views are adjusted.

A campaign is settled when it wraps. Wrapping freezes the numbers and queues the payouts. Until a campaign wraps, what you see is a live estimate, not a final figure.
