HideoutTV Creator Rewards and Monetization

Tony Cohn
Updated

We get that it takes a lot of effort and time to come up with awesome videos. Therefore, we have created a two-tiered rewards system to show our appreciation to creators like you, for sharing your content with HideoutTV audiences.

Here’s How We Reward Our Creators:

Upon creator application approval, we place a creator into one of two reward tiers:

  • HideoutTV Classic
  • HideoutTV Featured

These tiers are based on two factors:

  • Achievement of success metrics on major video platforms, such as Vimeo, YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram. Examples of these metric achievements include above platform-average subscriber counts, strong community engagement, and consistently-higher video view counts.

  • The potential for creating an engaging viewing experience for HideoutTV viewers. Examples of the types of content that the HideoutTV team looks for in this area include the creation of a new content niche, strong content production, an established fanbase for the creator's content, and content that matches the viewing preferences of our viewers.

Though both the Classic and Featured tiers provide many rewards, the main difference between the two tiers revolves around monetization: Videos uploaded by creators in the Hideout Classic tiers are not monetized.

Classic tier placement isn't “set in stone”, however. All Classic creators have the ability to move up to the Featured tier (and have videos monetized), once the creator has gained 75 subscribers to their HideoutTV channel.

How to Tell Which Tier You're In:

To determine whether you are a Classic, or Featured HideoutTV creator, click on this link.

If you see the word "earnings" listed, then your account is a Featured account. If you are taken back to the HideoutTV home page, then your account is a HideoutTV Classic account.
