How Earnings Are Calculated
Writers earn money from each reader who reads their
work. For example, if Jack reads Jill's blog 20% of the time, Jill
will receive 20% of Jack's monthly payment to writers. (Learn more about how payments are
distributed)
This means that the writers who earn the most are the ones who consistently post work of interest. Writers can even write multiple blogs to appeal to different groups of readers.
Since a reader's subscription fee is
divided between writers at the end of the reader's monthly cycle, it may take up to
two months for writers to receive all of their earnings. (How do I withdraw my
earnings?)
About Earnings Forecasts
The Writer's Account Summary
includes the forecasted earnings for the current month. This forecast is
calculated by estimating all the payments you will receive from readers by the
end of the month, based on how often each reader currently reads your blogs.
Since people change their reading habits over time, please
note that the forecast is subject to change and is only intended for informational
purposes. Your final statement, issued at the end of the month, will
show your actual earnings.
