Revenue Share
SIE pays publishers a share of every signal that sells. Your share grows as your sold-signal volume grows — five tiers, transparent thresholds, no horse-trading.

Tier matrix
Tier is set monthly based on the rolling 30-day count of sold signals — meaning a buyer revealed it. Every publisher starts at Seed.
| Tier | Sold signals / month | Publisher share | Payout cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seed | 0–99 | 30% | Monthly, $50 min |
| Bronze | 100–999 | 40% | Monthly |
| Silver | 1,000–9,999 | 50% | Monthly |
| Gold | 10,000–49,999 | 60% | Bi-weekly |
| Platinum | 50,000+ | 70% | Weekly |
How payout is calculated
For each sold signal, your share = buyer price × tier %. Buyer price varies by signal value — buyers pay more for hotter, more specific intent. Your dashboard shows estimated and confirmed earnings per signal.
Quality multiplier
Signals that buyers mark as bad data get clawed back. If your refund rate stays below 2%, you earn a 1.1x quality bonus. Above 10% triggers a review.
Payout mechanics
We pay through Stripe Connect. Connect your bank or debit card once at Payouts → Settings. Money typically lands in 1–2 business days after payout runs. We issue a 1099 to US publishers earning over $600 per year.
How to climb tiers
- Verify all your domains. Unverified channels don't count.
- Add more channels. Newsletter, mobile app, community forum — all eligible.
- Drive opt-in rate. Higher accept rate = more eligible signals.
- Cover hot topics. Buyers chase active categories — content alignment matters.
