Monetization Policy
Welcome to AITube's Monetization program. This page explains how creators get paid, what rules apply, and what you need to stay eligible.
Last Updated: October 2026
1. Eligibility Requirements
To apply for monetization, you must meet the following criteria:
Verify your AITube account (email + identity check)
Reach at least 150 followers
Gain 300 video views in the past 60 days
Upload at least 2 public videos
Thresholds can change. Check your Monetization tab for your progress.
2. Revenue Share Model
When ads play on your videos' watch pages, you earn 55% of what advertisers pay for them. Revenue share is based on valid ad impressions, views, and clicks after fraud checks.
Watch-page Video Ads
Pre-roll, mid-roll, and end-roll ads on your videos' watch pages
Ads in the Shorts feed, in community threads, and in banner placements don't pay a revenue share to creators.
Important: Boosted or self-promoted videos do not generate revenue share. These are paid promotions, not monetization.
3. What Counts as a Paid Event
You earn when users genuinely interact with ads. Only valid traffic counts—bots, hidden tabs, or replay spam are excluded.
Impression
Ad visibly on screen for at least 2 seconds
View (CPV)
5s watch or 25-50% of ad duration, depending on type
Click (CPC)
User clicks CTA or ad surface
4. Payout Rules
Your ad-revenue earnings accumulate in your creator earnings wallet. Once the balance reaches the minimum, you request a payout whenever you like, up to $50,000 per payout; there is no fixed monthly payout date. Every request is reviewed by our team before it's sent. Prompt Battle prize money is held separately, in your prize wallet, which has its own minimum withdrawal of $10.
Minimum Earnings Payout
$50
Payout Timing
On request
Payment Provider
Stripe (USD)
If your payout account is restricted or fails verification, earnings are held until resolved. Make sure your payment details are verified.
5. Compliance & Restrictions
To remain monetized, you must adhere to platform policies:
- Follow AITube's Community Guidelines
- Avoid uploading harmful, misleading, or inappropriate content
- Ensure your content is advertiser-friendly
Monetization can be suspended or revoked if you break policies.
6. Frequently Asked Questions
Do I earn from my own promoted/boosted videos?
No. Boosting is paid promotion, not monetization. You don't receive revenue share from ads on boosted content.
Do I get paid for every ad served?
You're paid when ads meet viewability thresholds and the advertiser is billed. Invalid traffic (bots, spam) is excluded.
How often do I get paid?
Whenever you ask, once your earnings balance is $50 or more and your Stripe payout account is verified. Each request is reviewed by our team, then sent in US dollars to your connected Stripe account. There is no fixed monthly payout date.
Do Shorts, community or banner ads pay creators?
No. Only the ads on your videos' watch pages share revenue with creators. If that changes, this page will say so first.
Can rules change?
Yes. AITube may adjust eligibility thresholds, revenue share percentages, or compliance requirements. Updates will always appear on this page.
