How To Make Money on AVideo Platform
You can monetize through AI requests using the AI Plugin. Each AI request carries a cost, which provides a revenue stream for site admins. Users are charged through their site wallets, allowing admins to set higher prices and generate additional income from these AI services.
The default ad system uses Google AdSense, but other ad providers are supported. You can add your ad code in the Sites configuration menu under Script Code -> Google Ad Sense. Ads will appear on the top and right sides of the video list, similar to YouTube.
Video ads can be provided via VAST/VPAID ad systems like GoogleAds_IMA, or you can serve your own video ads using the AD_Server Plugin.
These are image ads that appear over videos, with a close button for users to hide the ad. You can use the AD_Overlay Plugin.

You can provide subscription-based access to content using the following plugins:
This setup allows users to pay a recurring fee for content access, benefiting both site owners and content creators.
With the PayPerView model, users pay per content view. This is facilitated by:
This allows both site owners and content creators to earn from individual video purchases.
Refer to this documentation to learn about monetization for content creators. Below are the available options:
Content creators can be rewarded based on the number of views. A system is in place to detect and avoid fake views. Check out the view count process.
Plugins required:
Content creators can add their own ad codes using the AD_Overlay Plugin. This allows content creators to earn from ads they place over their videos.
Users can add donation links to their profiles by enabling the allowDonationLink option in the CustomizeUser plugin. This will allow content creators to share donation links on their video pages and channels. Example: SeekingTheTruth donation link.
Currently, the platform does not take a cut from donations, but site owners can add their own donation links if needed.
A donation button can be added to all videos and live streams, allowing users to donate using their wallet balance. To enable this, check the allowWalletDirectTransferDonation option in the CustomizeUser plugin.
When users credit their wallets (e.g., via PayPal or Stripe), transaction fees apply. For instance, if a user credits $10, you may only receive $8 after fees. It’s important to adjust your withdrawal policies to account for these fees, including the site’s commission.
