Creator Earnings, Withdrawals and the Partner Tier
by Aristotto4 min
Every approved Creator Partner Program post earns a guaranteed amount, and more as the views come in. Earnings are Pending from the moment of approval and become Available 7 days later. You can withdraw once your Available balance reaches $25.
This article covers how a post earns, the three balances, withdrawals, and how to apply for the Partner tier. All of it is in the Creator app at creator.aristotto.ai.
How does an approved post earn?
Every campaign has a guaranteed amount per post and a rate per 1,000 views. You get whichever is larger, up to the cap per post. The amount is Pending the moment the post is approved, keeps growing with views, and becomes Available 7 days later.
Open My posts to see each post's views, what it earned and its status.
What do the three balances mean?
| Balance | Status of the money |
|---|---|
| Pending | Earned on approved posts; becomes Available 7 days after approval |
| Available | Ready to withdraw |
| Paid out | Already sent through Tremendous |
The same balances show at the top of Campaigns, so you can check them while you pick a brief.
How do you withdraw?

Example: How does a post with 25,000 views earn?
The public program page uses this offer: guaranteed $20, $4 per 1,000 views, and a cap of $200.
Your post is approved. The guaranteed $20 shows as Pending.
The post reaches 25,000 views. At $4 per 1,000 views that is $100, which is larger than $20, so the post earns $100.
The $100 stays under the $200 cap, so nothing is cut.
Seven days after approval, the earnings become Available.
Available is above $25, so you press Withdraw.
In the US, you open the Tremendous email, pick PayPal, bank transfer or Venmo and fill in the W-9.
The amount moves to Paid out.
What should you check when a withdrawal or application stalls?
Withdraw is not available. Available may be under $25, or another withdrawal may still be in progress. Only one runs at a time.
Money still Pending. Pending becomes Available 7 days after the post was approved.
No cash option. Cash withdrawals are for creators in the US. Outside the US, you are paid in credits.
ID check. Finish the check if one is asked before a cash withdrawal.
Tremendous step. Look for the Tremendous email and have your W-9 details ready.
No Partner answer yet. Applications are reviewed weekly, with an answer within 7 days.
Partner rejected. Wait 30 days before you apply again.

$25. The Withdraw button works from your Available balance.

No. Only one withdrawal can be open at a time.
Do I get cash if I live outside the US?
No. Outside the US, your rewards arrive as Aristotto credits.
Can I apply for Partner again after a rejection?
Yes, after a 30-day wait.
Do I need a large audience to apply?
