Money and metrics / Rev share

How Prosper's rev share works and when you actually get paid.

Management only makes sense if the money feels clear and fair. This unit walks through how a shared revenue model works in practice so you understand what comes to you, what goes to Prosper and when it hits your account.

Goal

Give you a simple picture of how income is split and paid, so you always know where your money is and what Prosper is earning alongside you.

What rev share means for you day to day

A rev share setup means both you and Prosper are paid as a percentage of what the page makes. When your income grows, both sides win. When a month is softer, both sides feel it.

The exact percentage and timing are confirmed in your agreement before we start. The structure is designed so:

  • You know how much of every dollar is yours once platform fees and splits are taken out.
  • Prosper has a reason to keep pushing for real growth rather than just posting for the sake of it.
  • There is no confusion about who covers which costs around your account.

The order money moves from fan to you

It helps to picture the path your money takes each cycle. In simple steps:

Step one

A fan pays on platform for subs, tips, PPV or customs. The platform holds that money and takes its own percentage.

Step two

The remaining balance sits as earnings on your creator dashboard until it is withdrawn according to the platform rules and your payout settings.

Step three

Once funds are available and moved out of the platform, your agreed revenue split is applied between you and Prosper based on the total earnings for that period.

The details of how withdrawals and splits are handled are set with you so the flow fits your banking, your country and your comfort level.

What income is included in the split

To avoid confusion later, we define clearly what counts as shared revenue on your main account.

  • Subscriptions and resubscriptions from your paid page.
  • DM sales including PPV, bundles and customs.
  • Tips and pay per view on the feed when they are part of normal campaigns.

Some things may sit outside the standard split, for example certain brand deals, external payments or projects that are clearly separate from your managed page. Those exceptions are written into your agreement so you do not have to guess.

How payout timing is set

Your payout timing is built around two realities. The first is when the platform releases funds. The second is how often it makes sense to reconcile revenue with Prosper.

Platform timing

  • Money only becomes available after the platform clears it.
  • There can be delays from processing times and bank transfers.
  • Your payout country and banking details can affect how long this takes.

Rev share timing

  • We agree a regular cycle such as weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
  • The cycle is chosen so you are paid consistently without tiny, scattered transfers.
  • On each cycle we look at the earnings for that period and apply the agreed split.

The aim is for you to have a predictable pattern so you can plan your own bills and goals without surprises.

What happens in a big spike month

Strong months are the reward for all the work on content, DMs and structure. When a spike hits, we still follow the same rev share rules so things stay calm.

  • Your agreement does not change just because a month is bigger than usual.
  • We may suggest small adjustments to offers or campaigns going forward if the spike revealed a new angle that works well.
  • We keep track of any large buyers or campaigns that drove the extra income so it can be built on, not treated as a one off accident.

A big month should feel exciting and clear, not like something you need to chase up or worry about.

What happens in a slow month

Slower months are part of online income. In a rev share structure, both sides feel the dip. That is intentional. It keeps Prosper focused on long term results instead of just collecting a fixed fee.

  • Your percentage does not drop in a soft period unless we formally renegotiate the agreement.
  • We look at the same metrics every month so we can see if it was a normal slow patch or a sign of a deeper problem.
  • We talk with you about strategy changes instead of quietly pulling back effort.

The main thing you should feel is that the management team is still engaged and working with you, not disappearing when numbers dip.

Expenses and who pays for what

A clean rev share setup also makes it clear who covers which costs around your page. To keep things simple:

  • Regular management work on the page sits inside the split and is not billed to you on top.
  • Personal costs such as outfits, travel and your own living expenses are usually your side.
  • Larger shared costs such as paid promo, studios or paid collaborations are discussed with you in advance so you can decide if they make sense.

If something requires extra spending, we talk through the plan and how it fits into your rev share structure before anyone commits.

If you pause or leave Prosper

Sometimes creators pause management or move on for their own reasons. Your agreement sets out what happens if that occurs.

  • Rev share usually continues on income that clearly came from work already done in an agreed notice period.
  • New income after that period is yours if Prosper is no longer involved in running the page.
  • Any open balances from the final cycle are reconciled so there are no loose ends.

The aim is that you can enter and exit management feeling respected and clear about the money at every step.

Questions to ask before you sign

Before you work with any management team, including Prosper, it is smart to ask a few direct questions.

  • Exactly what percentage is shared and for how long.
  • Exactly what income sources are part of the split and which are not.
  • Exactly when and how payouts are sent to you.

If any point is unclear, ask for it in writing before you sign. A good rev share structure should feel simple enough that you can explain it in a few sentences to anyone who asks how your money works.
