Introduction

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business — and content creation is no exception. But waiting 30 to 60 days for YouTube payments? That can put a serious damper on growth. Monetisation advances are reshaping the landscape for creators by offering upfront, revenue-based financing with zero equity loss.

What Are Monetisation Advances?

A monetisation advance is a lump sum provided upfront to creators based on historical and projected earnings from their content — primarily from platforms like YouTube. Repayment is typically performance-based.
