How to get paid on Snapchat?
To be eligible for the Snapchat Public Stories revenue-sharing program, you must meet three key criteria: Audience and engagement, consistency, and relevance. Let’s explore each of these criteria in detail.
Audience and engagement
You will need at least 50,000 subscribers on your Public Profile and more than 25 million views or 12,000 hours of viewing time in the last 28 days to qualify. This shows you have a dedicated following and actively engage with your audience.
Consistency
For ten days in your Public Story, you must share at least 20 Snapshots daily for the past 28 days. This demonstrates your ability to create and share engaging content with your audience consistently.
Compatibility
To qualify, you must be at least 18 or the legal age of majority in your country. You must also post advertiser-friendly content that complies with Snapchat’s Community Guidelines and Content Guidelines for Recommendation Eligibility. Finally, you must reside in an eligible country and follow Snapchat’s Creator Stories Terms.
How does revenue sharing work?
Once you qualify for the program, Snapchat will run ads between Snaps in your Public Story. You will receive a payment based on the revenue generated from these ads. It’s as simple as that!
How to cash out your rewards
Want to cash out your rewards? No problem! Creators can manage their payments in-app and cash out at least $100 per day at any time. To cash out, follow the steps outlined in the Snapchat Creator Centre.
