ViewPayout
How it works
A brand sets a rate per 1,000 views. A creator claims it, posts from their own X account, and is paid for the views the post earns once the hold ends.
Four steps
- A brand opens a bounty. It writes the brief and sets a rate per 1,000 views, a cap per post, a view floor, a hold length and how many creators it wants.
- A creator claims it. Claiming is free and does not lock anyone else out. The creator must meet the follower and account-age minimums, and the terms are frozen for them at the moment they claim.
- The creator posts and submits. The post goes up on the creator's own X account, and the creator submits it within 60 minutes of publishing.
- ViewPayout measures, then pays. It reads the post's public view count until the hold ends. The creator is paid for the highest verified reading, up to the cap.
Finds a bounty for a new game, cuts a short clip, posts it from their own X account and submits the link within the hour. The highest verified reading in the hold sets the payout, up to the cap.

Who pays for what
A brand prepays a balance. When a post is submitted, ViewPayout reserves that post's worst-case cost from the balance, so a post that is accepted can always be paid. When the hold ends it commits the real cost and releases the rest. The platform keeps 15% of each post's gross from the creator and charges the brand 15% on top. See payouts.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free trial or a monthly plan?
Neither. ViewPayout has no plan to subscribe to: creators join free, and brands pay only for verified views from a balance they top up.
How does a creator get paid?
A creator claims a bounty, posts from their own X account and submits the post. ViewPayout reads the post's public views until the hold ends, then pays for the highest verified reading, up to the cap. Cashouts start at $25.
What does it cost?
Creators pay nothing up front, and 15% comes out of each post's gross earnings. Brands pay the bounty rate plus 15% on top.
What stops fake views?
Posts must be fresh, public, unedited and from the claimed account. Readings are taken on a schedule, a fraud screen compares views with engagement, and a person reviews first-ever posts and anything flagged. Edited or deleted posts earn nothing.
Does a brand pay for views that never happen?
No. A brand funds a balance first, a post reserves its worst-case cost when it is submitted, and only verified views are charged. The unused reservation goes back to the balance.
Which platforms does it support?
ViewPayout pays for views on X.
