How the Monetization Program Works
Learn how VideoNest places ads across your distributed content and shares revenue with approved publishers.
Overview
The VideoNest Monetization Program enables approved publishers to earn revenue from their distributed video content. VideoNest places ads across your content on partner platforms and shares 55% of collected revenue with you.
How ads are placed
Ad placement is handled by VideoNest. You don't configure ad positions manually — VideoNest determines the optimal placement across your distributed content based on partner requirements and viewer behavior.
Revenue share
Approved publishers receive 55% of ad revenue generated from their content. Revenue is calculated based on CPM (cost per thousand views) and varies by platform and content type.
Earnings and statements
Once approved and earning, your revenue is tracked in the Earnings section of Settings. You'll see monthly statements, invoices, and the amounts that have been paid out. VideoNest also sends monthly email reports to opted-in publishers in good standing.
Approval requirement
The Monetization Program is approval-only. Not every account is automatically enrolled. See Applying for the Program for eligibility details and how to submit your application.
The more channels you're active on, the more surfaces available for ads. CTV and news syndication in particular tend to generate strong CPMs.
