# HubTub

> HubTub is a YouTube partner network (multi-channel network / MCN) for creators. It connects channels to monetization through YouTube's official partner systems, uses Content ID to find reuploads of a creator's videos, helps with Content ID claims and strike appeals where justified, and pays out earnings to 150+ countries (bank, card, Payoneer, local wallets or crypto: USDT on TRC20 or ERC20, or BTC; methods depend on the country). Each creator has a dashboard in their HubTub account (app.hubtub.io), in six languages, with their earnings by month, contract and payouts. The team reviews every application within 48 hours. HubTub is operated by Hubtub Network FZ-LLC, registered in a free zone of the United Arab Emirates.

## Company

- [About HubTub](https://hubtub.io/about): How HubTub works with creators (transparency, quick answers, the channel stays the creator's), company details (Hubtub Network FZ-LLC, UAE free zone), contact (creators@hubtub.io, Instagram @hubtub.io).

## Product

- [Homepage](https://hubtub.io/): What a channel gets (monetization through YouTube, content protection, payouts, support in the creator's language), who HubTub accepts, the four steps to join, the terms in short, HubTub Pay and five common questions.
- [How It Works](https://hubtub.io/how-it-works): The four steps in detail: apply (sign in with Google, choose a channel, read-only access), review (the team replies within 48 hours; the creator's share is named before signing), connect (the team gets in touch to agree on the terms, then the creator signs the contract and accepts the CMS invitation in YouTube Studio; usually 3-5 business days), earn (income credited when YouTube pays, usually the 21st-26th of the following month). Also how to leave the network (30 days' written notice to the personal manager, to support in the dashboard or to creators@hubtub.io).
- [FAQ](https://hubtub.io/faq): All questions in five groups: money (share, when you get paid, payout methods, Early Pay), your channel (ownership, what HubTub can see, what changes in YouTube Studio), rights (Content ID claims, strikes), contract (one year, renews automatically, 30 days' notice to leave, switching from another network) and requirements (monetized channel, no strikes or violations, own or licensed content; Shorts and kids' content accepted; no minimum view count).
- [HubTub Pay](https://hubtub.io/pay): HubTub's payouts product: how payouts work, methods by country, Early Pay (part of the income before YouTube pays), security (new payout details are verified).
  - [Methods and countries](https://hubtub.io/pay/methods): Payout methods and where each works; the fee, any currency conversion and the exact amount received are shown before confirming.
  - [Early Pay](https://hubtub.io/pay/early-pay): Part of the income before YouTube pays, for a closed month or from the current one; terms agreed per creator.
  - [Security](https://hubtub.io/pay/security): Identity and payout-detail checks, read-only Google access, what HubTub never does with channel data.
- [HubTub Pulse](https://hubtub.io/pulse): A free app in the HubTub account (app.hubtub.io): analytics for all of a person's YouTube channels on one screen, with no limit on channels, no contract and no obligation; using it is not an application to the network. The figures come from YouTube Analytics with the channel owner's permission, the same as in YouTube Studio (revenue is YouTube's estimate), each beside the previous period's; HubTub adds no estimates or scores. An overview of every channel (7 or 28 days, standing as YouTube reports it), a page per channel (90 days by day, 12 months by month, audience, top videos), clients' channels by the owner's invitation (one channel per link, valid 14 days, access can be closed at any time), a weekly summary email. Read-only Google access, refreshed daily; the HubTub team sees a channel's figures only if its owner turns on "HubTub offers" in Pulse, to propose network terms. A person can also connect Pulse to their own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or another that supports MCP connectors) at https://app.hubtub.io/api/mcp: read-only: the channels they added themselves, and channels shared with them only where their owners allowed it; disconnected at any time in Pulse. In Claude it is listed in the connector directory as HubTub Pulse (https://claude.ai/directory/hubtub); what it is and how to connect it: https://hubtub.io/pulse/mcp; setup, tools and data in full: https://hubtub.io/pulse/ai. It is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.hubtub/youtube-analytics, with its listing and a short guide on GitHub: https://github.com/hubtub-io/youtube-mcp.
- [HubTub apps](https://hubtub.io/apps): The catalog of HubTub's apps, all in the HubTub account (app.hubtub.io): HubTub Pay (balance and payouts to 150+ countries) and HubTub Pulse (free analytics for all of a person's YouTube channels), each with a link to its page and into the account.
- [HubTub account](https://app.hubtub.io/): The HubTub account: one Google sign-in for every HubTub app (HubTub Pay for payouts; HubTub Pulse for channel analytics). Signing in is also how a creator applies. The page sets out what HubTub asks Google for and how that data is used.

## Key facts

- Requirements: the channel is already monetized on YouTube, has no strikes or Community Guidelines violations, publishes the creator's own content or content they hold the rights to, and meets YouTube's monetization policies. There is no minimum view count. Shorts and kids' content are accepted; reuploads, mass-produced content with no original value and channels with repeated violations are not.
- Contract: one year, renews automatically; either side can leave with 30 days' written notice (to the personal manager, to support in the dashboard or to creators@hubtub.io). The channel and its videos remain the creator's: the creator grants HubTub a licence limited to YouTube for monetization and rights management. Google sign-in gives read-only access to channel statistics; the CMS link gives HubTub the content-owner permissions for monetization and Content ID claims, and HubTub doesn't change or delete videos, titles or descriptions.
- Revenue share: set individually per channel and named before signing; it is not published.
- Payouts: income is credited to the creator's balance when YouTube pays it, usually between the 21st and the 26th of the following month; a payout goes out right after the creator's request; before confirming, the creator sees the method fee, any currency conversion and the exact amount they will receive. Withdrawals need a verified identity and a two-step verification code from an authenticator app. Early Pay lets a creator take part of the income before YouTube pays; conditions are individual.
