FAQs – Earnings and Payment

LiveTube compensates reporters based on two factors:

– Base Payment: You receive a one-time base payment when your stream is selected for broadcast by our producers. This ensures that your efforts in capturing valuable content are acknowledged.
– Per Minute Payment: In addition to the base payment, you earn for every minute you’re broadcasting live. The longer your stream, the more you earn. Payment amounts are calculated in real-time, and your earnings are displayed in the app throughout your broadcast.
For more information, visit our Payments page.

Pay rates are dynamic and change based on factors like location, news demand, and breaking news situations. You can see the current pay rates directly in the LiveTube app when you press u0022Go Live.u0022 These rates are constantly updated, so make sure to check them before you start streaming.

LiveTube offers higher pay rates for users in specific locations during significant news events. For example, if there’s a natural disaster, political protest, or emergency, reporters in the area will see higher pay rates in the app. These special offers reward users who are in the right place at the right time and are displayed in real time. Turn on your location settings to take advantage of these opportunities. Visit How We Use Your Location to find out more about privacy protection and settings.

2. If your PayPal account is tied to your LiveTube email:
Click the link in the payment notification email, log in to PayPal, and you’ll see your payment.

3. If you use a different email for PayPal:
Log in with your existing PayPal account when prompted. The funds will be deposited into your account, and your LiveTube email will be automatically added to your PayPal account.

If PayPal is unavailable in your country, contact our support team for alternative payment methods, though additional verification may be required.
