How you earn — milestones, contract months, revenue share

How you earn — milestones, contract months, revenue share

Your income has three layers, and they stack across cohorts.

Layer 1 — milestone payouts

₹100 (exam, Cohort 1 only) → ₹500 → ₹750 → ₹1,000 → ₹1,500 per cohort. Paid proportionally to the verified result and capped at the target: 25 contacts of 30 earns ₹625; 8 registrations of 10 earns ₹800; 12 registrations still earns ₹1,000.

Layer 2 — contract bonuses, months 1 to 3

Creators start their contract on the 1st of the nearest calendar month after their agreement is approved. For each of the first three calendar months you earn ₹500 for every creator of the cohort who fulfilled the contract that month. Ten creators = ₹5,000 a month. Nine = ₹4,500. Twelve = ₹6,000 — there is no cap, as long as every creator was approved by Trendweave. A creator who "did partially" earns nothing for that month — neither their fee nor your ₹500.

Layer 3 — revenue share, month 4 onward

From the fourth calendar month you earn 10% of Trendweave's net revenue from every creator of the cohort who made at least 10 posts that month (stories do not count toward the 10). Net revenue is Trendweave's platform commission on the sales the creator's content generates. The revenue share is open-ended: as long as the creator keeps posting 10+ times a month, you keep earning.

One cohort, on paper

₹3,850 in milestones (Cohort 1) + up to ₹15,000 in contract bonuses + revenue share from month 4. Now run three cohorts at once.

Key takeaway: Milestones are proportional and capped. Months 1–3 pay ₹500 per fulfilled creator, no cap. Month 4+ pays 10% of net revenue on creators with 10+ posts, open-ended.

Next step: Do the worked example. If you got ₹4,500 and ₹1,600, go to Lesson 6.

Learning outcome
You can compute your earnings for any cohort and any month: milestone payouts, ₹500 contract bonuses and the 10% revenue share.
Action in product
A cohort has 11 contracted creators; in month 2 nine fulfil; in month 5 eight post 10+ times and Trendweave earns ₹2,000 net from each. Compute month 2 and month 5.
