How Revenue Sharing Works

• Ads are displayed on your published articles

• Earnings depend on article views and ad performance
• Transparent tracking in your dashboard

Prohibited

Allowed

• Grammar checkers (Grammarly, ProWritingAid)
• Spell checkers and thesaurus tools
• Research tools with proper citations

Your content is displayed on TINNOTU for readers and may be licensed to AI companies for training purposes. This dual revenue model allows us to pay writers fairly.

You Retain Copyright

You own your work. You can publish it elsewhere, delete it anytime, or repurpose it however you like.

AI Licensing Benefits You

When AI companies pay ~$0.001 per article, that revenue funds your impression-based earnings. It's how we sustain writer payments without relying solely on ads.

You need to earn $100 in ad revenue to reach the payout threshold.

Example Timeline

• Consistent publishing: 2-3 quality articles per week
• Growing audience: Build readership over time
• Quest bonuses: Complete optional assignments for extra income

Active writers with quality content typically reach $100 within 2-6 months, depending on traffic and engagement.
