FAQs
How does earning money with Paytuber work?
Earnings on Paytuber are based on
directly selling your video content to viewers. Unlike platforms like YouTube, where you're paid per click or view through advertising revenue, on Paytuber you set the price for your own videos.
Here's how monetization works in detail:
Uploading content: You upload your videos (including shorts) to the platform.
Setting prices: You decide how much viewers have to pay to access your content. You have control over pricing for:
Individual videos: Viewers purchase access to a specific video.
Subscriptions: Viewers pay a monthly fee to access all your content or exclusive areas of your channel.
Exclusive content: You can offer special content only to paying members.
Sales and revenue: When a viewer pays for your content, the money goes to you (minus Paytuber's platform commission, the exact amount of which can be found in the terms of service).
No advertising revenue: Your income is independent of advertisements shown before or during your videos. It depends entirely on how many viewers are willing to pay directly for your content.
In summary: You earn money by directly selling your videos to your target audience and through clicks on ads.
If your video is played by other users, you earn 0.2 cents per video ad.
Can I run ads on Paytuber?
Yes, you can advertise on Paytuber. Paytuber is the leading video platform for online advertising and offers extensive options through the Paytuber Ads account.
Requirements
To advertise on Paytuber, you need:
A Paytuber Ads account.
Your own Paytuber channel.
An advertising video that you have uploaded to your channel (it can also be "unlisted" if you don't want it to appear publicly).
How does it work?
Advertising bookings are made via the Paytuber Ads platform:
Link your account: Link your Paytuber account to your Paytuber Ads account.
Create a campaign: In your Paytuber Ads account, create a new campaign and select "Video" as the campaign type.
Set your goals: Define your goals (e.g., more views, leads, sales, or brand awareness).
Define your target audience: Determine who you want to reach (demographics, interests, locations, etc.).
Set your budget: You determine the maximum amount you want to spend per day or for the entire campaign. YouTube does not require a minimum spend.
Choose an ad format: You select the appropriate ad format.
Ad formats on Paytuber
There are various ad formats to help you achieve your goals:
Skippable in-stream ads: Play before, during, or after a video and can be skipped after 5 seconds.
Non-skippable in-stream ads: Up to 15 seconds long and must be watched in their entirety.
In-feed video ads (formerly Discovery ads): Appear in Paytuber search results, on the homepage, or alongside other videos.
Bumper ads: Very short, non-skippable ads with a maximum length of 6 seconds.
Overlay ads: Banners that appear at the bottom of a video.
Audio ads: Ad formats specifically designed for users who primarily use Paytuber to listen to music.
Costs vary depending on the industry, target audience, and video quality, but typically range between €0.10 and €0.30 per view or click.
I want to watch an Eritok video, do I have to prove that I'm over 18 years old?
Yes, you need to verify your age to view content on Paytuber.
Here are the reasons and details:
Platform age restriction: Use of the Paytuber website is generally only permitted for people over 18 years of age.
Content: "Eritok" appears to be a colloquial term for erotic content. Such content falls under the category of "adult content."
Legal regulations: In Germany and many other countries, there are strict laws for the protection of minors (such as the Interstate Treaty on the Protection of Minors in the Media, JMStV, in Germany) that require online platforms to implement effective age verification mechanisms to prevent minors from accessing content that is harmful to them. Simply declaring your age (such as clicking a checkbox saying "I am over 18") is not legally sufficient.
Verification methods: To comply with legal requirements, platforms with adult content usually require "highly effective" proof of age, often by uploading an official identification document (national identity card, passport) or using online age verification services.
How many accounts can I create on Paytuber?
The number of accounts you can create on Paytuber is specified in the platform's
Terms of Service, which were not publicly available at the time of writing. However, most online platforms that involve financial transactions or content monetization generally have the following policies:
One account per person/company: Many services allow only one primary account per person or legal entity for security and legal reasons (particularly regarding payment processing, taxes, and age verification).
No duplicate accounts: Creating multiple accounts by the same person, especially to circumvent policies or gain an unfair advantage, often violates the Terms of Service and can result in both accounts being suspended.
Different email addresses/payment information: Even if a platform allows multiple accounts per user (which is rare), these would typically need to be linked to different email addresses and often different payment information (bank accounts, credit cards), making it difficult for an individual to create multiple separate, independent accounts.
How much money can I earn with my videos on PayTuber?
PayTuber revenue varies a lot because earnings depend on several factors. Here’s a clear breakdown to help estimate what you might make and how to grow your income.
How PayTuber pays - Ad revenue: You earn from ads shown before, during, or after your videos. Pay is usually based on CPM (cost per 1,000 views) and RPM (revenue per 1,000 views after platform share). - Views and watch time: More views and longer watch time generally mean more ad impressions and higher earnings. - Audience location: Advertisers pay more for viewers in wealthy markets (US, Canada, UK, Australia) than in many other countries. - Engagement: Likes, comments, shares, and click-throughs on ads increase your channel’s value to advertisers. - Niche and content type: Some topics (finance, tech, business) attract higher-paying ads than others (vlogs, general entertainment). - Monetization features: Channel memberships, tips, paid content, and affiliate links add extra income beyond ads.
Your earnings as a Paytuber depend entirely on you, as you set the price for your video content and sell the videos directly to viewers. There are no fixed averages like on ad-supported platforms (e.g., YouTube), since your income depends directly on your target audience's willingness to pay.
Specific earning opportunities:
Pricing: You determine how much a single video or subscription costs.
Sales volume: Your income scales with the number of viewers willing to pay for your content.
Typical numbers (rough estimates) - Low range creators: $0.50–$2 RPM. That’s $0.50–$2 per 1,000 views. If you get 50,000 views/month, expect roughly $25–$100/month. - Mid-range creators: $2–$8 RPM. At 100,000 views/month, that’s about $200–$800/month. - High-performing creators: $8–$20+ RPM. At 1,000,000 views/month, earnings could be $8,000–$20,000+. Remember these are broad estimates. Your actual RPM may be higher or lower.
Other earning paths to boost income - Channel memberships and subscriptions: Offer perks (badges, exclusive videos, live chats) for recurring revenue. - Sponsorships and brand deals: Often pay more than ads, especially in niche topics; rates vary by audience size and engagement. - Merchandise and product sales: Sell branded goods or digital products (courses, presets). - Affiliate marketing: Earn commissions from links in descriptions for products you recommend. - Super Chats, tips, and paid livestreams: Useful for creators with an active live audience.
How to improve earnings - Focus on high-retention content so viewers watch longer and see more ads. - Target high-value niches or topics with strong advertiser demand. - Grow an engaged audience in high-CPM regions when possible. - Upload consistently and optimize titles, thumbnails, and descriptions for search and click-throughs. - Diversify income: combine ads with memberships, sponsorships, merch, and affiliates.
Quick example - Channel A: 200,000 views/month, RPM $3 → ~$600/month from ads. Add a $300/month sponsorship and $200 from memberships → $1,100 total. - Channel B: 1,000,000 views/month, RPM $10 → ~$10,000/month from ads. Add several brand deals and merch → $12,000–$15,000+.
Bottom line There’s no fixed amount you’ll earn on PayTuber. Small channels can make tens to hundreds monthly, while large, well-monetized channels can earn thousands to tens of thousands. Focus on growing views, improving engagement, choosing profitable niches, and diversifying income streams to increase earnings.

Your Paytuber account may be blocked
Your Paytuber account may be blocked for any of the following reasons:
Uploaded erotic content without marking it as 18+ If you post erotic or adult material but don’t label the video as intended for viewers 18 and older, your profile can be blocked. Always use the age-restriction setting when content includes nudity, sexual themes, or other mature material.
Uploaded illegal content Any video that breaks the law — for example, promoting criminal activity, sharing copyrighted material without permission, or facilitating illegal acts — can lead to an immediate block.
Uploaded child sexual abuse material Uploading any content that exploits or sexualizes minors is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate and permanent block. This is a zero-tolerance policy for the protection of children and to comply with legal obligations.
If your account is blocked, review the platform’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service to identify which rule may have been violated. If you believe the block was a mistake, contact Paytuber support, provide clear information about the video and context, and request a review.
Money-back options for video purchases or subscriptions
You're about to buy a video, but you're unsure because you might be dissatisfied with the quality. Important: Always carefully review the return and usage terms before purchasing. This way, you'll know if and how a return is possible if the video doesn't meet your expectations.
Also, keep in mind that Paytuber is not responsible for the quality or reliability of the videos. The platform merely serves as a sales channel and does not guarantee the product itself. Therefore, if you place particular importance on top quality and reliability, you should carefully check whether the video meets your requirements before buying.
In conclusion: Do your research before buying, check the usage rights and return options, and be aware that Paytuber is not liable if the video quality is unsatisfactory.
