We are currently looking for creators of written content. Our platform supports multimedia embeds (videos, podcasts, etc.), but right now we’re highlighting creators who lead with strong written perspectives.
Yahoo Creators can earn money through our ad-supported platform with a 50/50 ad revenue share. Creators can also take advantage of e-commerce benefits, including an 80/20 split on affiliate revenue, favoring the creator. There are no monthly fees or paywalls.
To participate in the program and get paid, you must have a Stripe account in good standing. There's roughly a 45-day processing and payment period for each month, with earnings calculated from the first to the last day of the month.
Our team reviews each application to make sure submissions meet our eligibility requirements. It typically takes about five business days to review your application and provide a decision.
If you were rejected because you did not meet some of the eligibility requirements, you are welcome to reapply in six months as long as you then meet the requirements. If you were rejected because your content and/or application violated our policies or standards, you are not eligible to reapply.
Yes! Content does not need to be exclusive to Yahoo, so you can leverage Yahoo’s audience in addition to the platforms that you may currently use. We suggest adding to, revising or updating your stories to ensure originality for Yahoo readers.
