    Earn as people read

    Reading activity and engagement on your articles add to your balance, which you can follow in your earnings dashboard.

  4. 4

    Request a payout

Getting paid

  • Each request is reviewed by our team before payment; you can follow its status in your dashboard.

What counts

We reward original, substantial articles that readers value. We may exclude content, reader activity or earnings from monetization, for example:

  • Very short posts or fragments
  • Duplicate or plagiarised content
  • Unreviewed AI-generated text
  • Spam, or artificial reads and engagement

Grow through the creator tiers

Everyone starts as Basic Creator. As your readership grows you can move up to Premium Creator. Professional Creator and Enterprise Creator are coming soon.
