People from your audience with a 1st A TV subscription.
Of everything your fans watch on 1st A TV in a month.
What YouTube pays you per 1,000 views. It's in YouTube Studio.
An estimate, not a promise. Creators get 60% of each $9.99 subscription after payment fees (about $5.58), rising to 70% once 1st A TV passes 50,000 subscribers. Each subscriber's share is split among the creators they watched that month. The YouTube comparison assumes fans watch 10 hours a month and an 8-minute average view.
The terms, in plain English.
- Founding creators: 70%, for good
- Our first 10 creators get 70% of subscription revenue after payment fees from day one, permanently. It's our thanks for joining before anyone else.
- Everyone else: 60%, rising to 70%
- Creators who join later start at 60%. When 1st A TV passes 50,000 subscribers, every creator moves to 70% for good.
- Paid by the people who watch you
- Each subscriber's money is split between the creators they actually watched that month. Your fans' viewing pays you, not anyone else.
- Your footage stays yours
- You license your videos to stream here. Ownership of the footage stays with you.
- Post it uncut
- Full-length encounters, raw footage and follow-ups, under published standards written for this work.
