Refer & earn
Refer a channel. Earn on every payout.
Introduce a YouTube channel to iSmartMedia and earn up to 2% of each payout it receives. It's paid on top of the owner's share, never taken from it.
How it works
Three steps from introduction to commission

Share the channel
Tell us about a channel you manage, edit for or know well. The owner stays in charge and decides whether to join. - 2
We review and onboard
We review the channel within 24–48 hours, quote the owner a revenue share and handle the linking and setup. - 3

FAQ
Referral questions
How much can I earn from a referral?
You earn up to 2% of each payout a referred channel receives, calculated every payout cycle. Use the calculator above for an estimate at the maximum rate.
Does the channel owner earn less because of my commission?
No. Referral commission is paid on top of the channel owner's share — never deducted from it. The owner gets exactly the share we quote them.
Who can refer a channel?
Agencies, channel managers, editors, freelancers or friends of a creator. You don't need to own a channel yourself.
How and when is referral commission paid?
Monthly, in USD, alongside our regular payout cycle. Payout methods: Bank transfer (India & international), Wire transfer, PayPal, Payoneer.
What if the channel isn't accepted?
We review every channel before onboarding. If it isn't a fit, we tell the owner why. Commission is earned on payouts, so a channel that isn't onboarded doesn't generate commission.
