Monetization (Tips)

At Flock Social, we believe in empowering our creators and users to monetize their content and engage with the community. While we don't directly pay creators for their posts or contributions, you have the opportunity to earn through payment apps by promoting them on your public or private profiles. We currently support a few payment apps and are actively exploring additional methods. As our community grows, so will the opportunities for monetization, including potential collaborations with third-party advertisers.

Join us on Flock Social to discover the many possibilities for earning, connecting, and engaging with our vibrant online community.

Earning Opportunities on Flock Social: Policies and Guidelines

At Flock Social, we appreciate the diverse and dynamic community that contributes to our platform. To ensure clarity and transparency, we want to outline information regarding earning opportunities on our platform.

1. General Payment Information

As of now, Flock Social (as a company) & Breeze AI (as a company) does not provide monetary compensation for users, including those with badges, verified badges, or "creator" status.
Exceptions may be made for contracted workers and collaborators based on individual agreements/contracts.

Note:

Future Plans: Sharing Ad Revenue with Users

In the future, we plan to introduce a system that allows users to earn a share of ad revenue from member/creator/company ads displayed in their posts comment/replies sections. This system would apply exclusively to ads placed by our partners or advertisers working directly with us—not Google or other ads.

Our goal is to compensate you for hosting ads in your posts & replies section based on several factors, including:

Whether you are a registered creator with us (creator status, badges & more)
The number of views your posts receive.
Your follower count.
The advertiser's spending on their campaign.
The duration and success of the ad on your post.
If you are eligible to apply for creator & monetization status etc.

For example:

If a creator or company spends $250 to advertise their post, video, or website link, they may choose to display the ad in the comments of your post and one other. In this case, you could earn between $5 and $50 (it could be a significant amount less all the way to $0 or significantly more than listed) for hosting that ad, depending on:

How many posts the advertiser selected.
How long the ad remained on your post.
The overall performance of the ad.
And more.

Advertisers may have the option to switch the posts where their ads appear during their campaign, but there will typically be a limit (e.g., two posts).

Current Status

At this time, ads may appear in the comments/replies of posts without compensation to the user. However, we are actively working on a system to support this revenue-sharing model in the future. This program will be available to members and creators with:

Guidelines for Earning Opportunities on Flock Social

Earning Through Self-Promotion

Users can earn by showcasing payment platforms such as Cash App, Venmo, and others directly in their profiles:

A dedicated field in the profile settings enables users to display information about their preferred payment apps.
This feature allows for safe and transparent self-promotion within the community.

Posting Donation Requests

Users are permitted to create occasional posts across Flock Social services requesting donations, provided they adhere to the following guidelines:

Posts must be honest and legal when advertising platforms like Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, or GoFundMe.
Responsible and ethical promotion is required to maintain community trust and compliance with legal standards.

4. Safety and Legality

To ensure safety and legality:

Flock Social reserves the right to review posts and profiles to verify the use of secure and legitimate payment methods.
Users are encouraged to seek verification if uncertain about the safety of their earning methods.

5. Restrictions

Donation requests should complement, not dominate, a user's activity on Flock Social.
Directly messaging others to solicit money or requesting personal bank details is strictly prohibited.

6. Policy Adherence

All earning activities must comply with Flock Social’s policies, including the Terms of Service (TOS):

Users are responsible for reviewing and understanding these policies.
Ignorance of the rules is not an acceptable excuse for violations.

7. Reporting Violations

To maintain a safe community, users are encouraged to report any violations of these guidelines.

Prompt reporting ensures swift action and helps uphold the integrity of the platform.

An Additional Earning Opportunity

Another approach to sharing donation information is to create a standalone post on your profile. This method allows you to:

Provide a dedicated space for sharing donation details, such as links to Cash App, Venmo, PayPal, or GoFundMe.
Avoid disrupting the general interaction flow in other areas of the platform.

By utilizing this method, you can ensure your donation requests are clear, intentional, and respectful to the community. This approach also helps maintain a balanced experience for both you and your audience.
