How it works
From application to your first payout
The four steps in detail, with answers to the questions that come up along the way.
Step 1: Apply
A few minutes
Sign in with Google and choose your channel. It takes a couple of minutes, and your Google password stays with you.
What access do you get?
Read-only access to your channel's statistics. We can see them, but we can't upload, change or delete anything. You can revoke our access in your Google Account at any time.
Step 2: Review
Within 48 hours
Our team reviews your channel and replies within 48 hours. We name the terms before you sign.
What does the team look at?
Whether the channel is monetized, whether it has strikes or Community Guidelines violations, whose content it publishes and whether the videos meet YouTube's monetization policies. We don't take reuploads or mass-produced content with no original value. There's no minimum view count.
When do I find out my share?
After the review, before you sign. It depends on the channel's income, niche and audience, and it's written into the contract.
Step 3: Connect
3–5 business days
We get in touch to agree the terms. Once agreed, you sign the contract in your account and accept the invitation to our CMS in YouTube Studio.
What is the CMS invitation, and where do I accept it?
CMS is YouTube's Content Manager, the system partner networks use to work with channels. Once the contract is signed, YouTube sends your channel an invitation from HubTub. Look for the email from YouTube or the notification in YouTube Studio and press Accept. The channel then connects to your HubTub account on its own.
What changes in YouTube Studio?
The channel is still yours: you upload videos, reply to comments and see your analytics as before. One thing changes: ad revenue goes through our network, and you see it in your HubTub account and withdraw it the way that suits you.
Step 4: Earn
Every month
Your income by month is in your account. When YouTube pays, the money lands on your balance and you withdraw it the way that suits you.
When is the first income credited?
A month's income lands on your balance when YouTube pays it out: usually between the 21st and the 26th of the following month. Need it sooner? Part of the amount can come earlier with Early Pay.
How do I withdraw?
Choose a method and an amount in your account. Methods depend on your country, you see the method's fee before you confirm, and the money goes out right after your request.
How to leave the network
The contract runs for a year and renews automatically. Either side can end it with 30 days' notice in writing: tell your personal manager, write to support in your account or email creators@hubtub.io. Your channel and videos stay yours the whole time.
