About ViewPayout
What it is
ViewPayout is a Meralume Labs product. Meralume Labs builds web products for creators, brands and developers, with one support team behind all of them. ViewPayout connects brands that want posts about their product with creators who will write them, and it pays on views that were measured, not on promises.
What it does
Brands fund a balance and open bounties with a rate per 1,000 views. Creators claim for free, post from their own X account and are paid on the highest verified reading. See the changelog for what each release added.
For brands
Set the rate, a cap per post and a view floor, and see the worst-case cost before anyone claims. Unused money goes back to your balance.
For creators
Claim as many bounties as you like, keep your own account and audience, and cash out once a post's hold ends.
Funds a balance, opens a bounty with a rate per 1,000 views, a cap per post and a view floor, and sees the worst case before anyone claims. Only verified views are paid for.

How a post is paid
A bounty's terms are frozen the moment a creator claims it, so the post is always paid on the terms the creator saw.
The rate and the cap
The brand sets a rate per 1,000 verified views and a cap per post. A new bounty starts at $1 per 1,000 views with a $50 cap.
The hold
Views are read hourly and then daily until the hold ends, 14 days by default. A post edited or deleted during the hold earns nothing.
The highest reading
When the hold ends, the post is paid on its highest verified reading, up to the cap, if it reaches the view floor of 1,000 views.
