Transparent terms
The terms that matter, before you sign
Most partners hide the details until the contract. Here is what we can tell you up front, and what we will put in writing for your channel.
Why we quote per channel
We quote a revenue share for each channel after reviewing it. The number depends on your niche, audience geography, rights and volume, so a single published figure would be wrong for most channels.

Trust & safety
What we will never do
The CMS space has its share of shortcuts and scams. These are the lines we don't cross.
We never sell CMS access
CMS access is granted by YouTube and can't be bought. Anyone selling it is running a scam, and channels linked that way risk termination.
Your channel stays yours
You keep 100% ownership of your channel, your content and your Google account.
No password sharing
You approve the link from your own account. We will never ask for your login, recovery codes or 2-step verification codes.
Written quote before you sign
Your revenue share, payout terms and exit terms are in writing before you commit to anything.

FAQ
Questions creators ask us first
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.
Do I lose ownership of my channel if I join your CMS?
No. Your channel stays in your Google account and you keep full access to YouTube Studio. Linking to our CMS lets us manage monetization and rights on your behalf; it does not transfer ownership.
Are you an MCN?
We run our own YouTube CMS (Content Manager). Networks that link creator channels to a CMS are commonly called MCNs. The practical difference for you is how the partner behaves: clear terms, clear statements and a clear exit — which is what we focus on.
What revenue share do you offer?
We quote a share for each channel after reviewing it, because the right number depends on niche, audience geography, rights and volume. You get the figure in writing before you sign anything.
When and how do I get paid?
Monthly, in USD, with a statement that breaks earnings down by channel. We pay to Indian and international bank accounts, by wire, PayPal or Payoneer.
Do you accept faceless or AI-assisted channels?
Yes, if the channel adds original value and complies with YouTube's reused and inauthentic content policies. We review every channel first and tell you honestly if it is not a fit.
My channel is not monetized yet. Can I still apply?
Send it anyway. Some services, such as Content ID for original audio or music distribution, don't depend on YouTube Partner Program status, and we will tell you what is realistic.
Can I buy YouTube CMS access from you?
No. CMS access is granted by YouTube and cannot be bought or sold. Anyone selling 'YouTube CMS access' is running a scam or breaking YouTube's terms, and channels linked that way risk termination.
Which countries do you work with?
Creators and labels anywhere YouTube monetization is available. Most of our partners are in India, and we pay out internationally.
Send your channel. Get an honest answer.
We review it within 24–48 hours and tell you plainly whether a CMS makes sense for you, and what share we can offer. If it isn't a fit, we will say so.
