It will not be an easy task if you are just starting out, however, if you are consistent with uploading videos and interacting with other creators it is very possible that in about 2 months you will be eligible for monetization.
To get monetization in COSTV you need to meet the following requirements:
Have 1000 subscribers on your channel.
At least 3 videos of your channel with more than 1000 views.
Participate in a Contentos token pool.
Hold at least 10,000 VEST on your COSTV account.
Not have any active violations on your account.
Be verified (KYC)
Your content must be original and genuine.
If you are going to send the application, these points must be covered.
Once you have all this, in about 1 month you will receive a reply by email and automatically the monetization is activated in all the videos of your channel. Generally, it is activated by default on all new videos you upload to the platform.
How much you can earn with a monetized channel on COSTV
The owners of COSTV share 60% of the advertising revenue with the creators who participate in the partner program. This revenue is distributed daily in the form of USDT and credited to your personal COSTV account at the end of the month.
Earnings depend on views, it is the only variable that defines how much you will earn. The more impressions the ads in your videos have, the more USDT you can earn.
COSTV sends a daily report to your email detailing the behavior of your channel and the amount of USDT you have generated in the last 24 hours.
A modest channel can be earning 2 or 3 cents a day, with about 500 views a day.
The problem with this platform is that videos that are more than a week old no longer receive voting power and are no longer recommended, so unless you then promote them on your own in other networks it will be very difficult for old videos to generate income.
This forces us to upload content frequently every week, at least 3 videos for the monetization to be interesting.
I repeat that with perseverance it can be achieved. I leave now a screenshot with a report of my channel Making Digital.
How to get monetization in COSTV - Report March 10, 2023
To earn $1 a day on USDT you would have to get 10,000 daily views on your channel.
Very few creators achieve these figures. Some Brazilian vloggers between tips, staking and monetization are earning more than $2000 a month on COSTV. It is a very complicated achievement but not impossible.
Tips to achieve the requirements and monetize the channel
Below I explain you a strategy to reach the requirements as soon as possible and earn more USDT.
First of all the subject matter is key, either you make vlogs or upload content about cryptocurrencies. These are the only topics that make money in here. The rest is not much use to earn money. Mostly because anything that is gameplays, memes, compilations, series, movie clips, songs, music or cooking doesn't rank well.
You have to understand that people who use COSTV only want to make money, nothing else. Here they are not looking for value, but monetary rewards in the form of VEST to then sell it on Binance.
Therefore, videos on how to earn money from home, cryptocurrencies, business, mobile apps to earn money... They work great. Also there is a higher chance that content curators on COSTV will leave you big tips.
Vlogs also do well if you are consistent, the image quality is good and you also focus on talking about how to make money online.
The top creators who make the most money on COSTV tend to focus on these topics. Naturally, time and dedication can vary the final result. The one who uploads 7 videos a week of gameplays is going to generate much more than the one who uploads 1 on finance.
Another suggestion is to be active in the community. You have to comment and like other videos, especially the smaller channels, because they usually follow and like you back. The big ones have many notifications and it is difficult for them to see that you have supported them.
Try to interact with recently uploaded videos, with few views, leaving your comment and a like.
If you carry out this dynamic and also upload videos in about 3 months you can monetize the channel, I speak from experience. This is how I got it, on the advice of another creator who had achieved monetization and encouraged me to emulate the same behavior.
Finally, the key to COSTV is to take advantage of all the ways to earn money it offers: tips, likes, comments, staking, votes, affiliate links, monetization and referrals. Use all of them, this way, the amount will be higher and you will be able to build an interesting source of income.
