The 6-Month Monetization Guarantee
Get monetized on YouTube in 6 months, or we make your videos free until you get there.
These are the full terms, in plain English. They apply to everyone who starts on an eligible plan. Last updated 2 November 2026.
1.What we promise
If you meet every condition below and YouTube hasn't accepted your channel into the YouTube Partner Program by the end of your sixth month, your bill drops to $0. We keep making and posting your plan's videos for free until YouTube accepts your channel.
2.What “monetized” and “free” mean
Monetized means YouTube accepts your channel into the YouTube Partner Program with ad revenue sharing, so you earn from ads on your videos. Whatever bar YouTube uses at the time, that's the finish line.
Free means you keep getting your plan's videos, made and posted for you, and pay $0 a month until YouTube accepts your channel.
3.Who qualifies
To qualify, you need to:
- 1Be on Grow, Scale, Long-form Grow or Long-form Scale from your first day.
- 2Stay subscribed for 6 months in a row, with no pauses and no missed payments.
- 3Complete your Weekly Channel Check-in every week, 26 weeks in a row.
- 4Pick your niche from our shortlist and keep it. You get one free switch in your first 30 days.
- 5Keep your YouTube channel connected so we can post every video on time. Don't delete or hide our videos.
- 6Approve each script within 48 hours, or let us run on autopilot.
- 7Start with a new channel, or one under 1,000 subscribers with no strikes, in a country where the YouTube Partner Program is open. Never buy views, subscribers or watch time.
- 8Apply to the YouTube Partner Program within 7 days of becoming eligible. We'll tell you when.
4.The Weekly Channel Check-in
It takes about 2 minutes, in your portal. Each week it asks for:
- Your views, watch hours and subscribers this week (we show you where to find them in YouTube Studio)
- A screenshot of YouTube Studio
- One question: anything you want more of, or less of?
Each check-in opens Monday and closes Sunday at 11:59pm your time. We remind you by email on Friday and Sunday. You need 26 check-ins in a row, one in every weekly window. We use your answers to pick your next topics and thumbnails.
5.How to claim
- 1At the end of month 6, send us a screenshot of YouTube Studio from your portal.
- 2We check your check-in record and your channel. If you qualify and YouTube hasn't accepted you yet, your next bill is $0.
- 3Your bills stay at $0, and we keep making and posting your videos, until YouTube accepts your channel. Then your plan's normal price starts again from your next bill.
6.How long the free months last
Until YouTube accepts your channel, as long as you keep doing your Weekly Channel Check-in every week and keep meeting conditions 4 to 8. If YouTube turns down an application, we fix what it flags, help you apply again, and your bills stay at $0 while we do.
7.What ends the guarantee
- You miss a Weekly Channel Check-in.
- You pause or cancel your plan, or a payment fails and isn't fixed within 7 days.
- You move to Launch or a multi-channel plan.
- You switch niche after your first 30 days without our OK.
- You disconnect your channel, or delete or hide our videos.
- You buy views, subscribers or watch time, or your channel gets a strike for something you uploaded.
- You don't apply to the Partner Program within 7 days of becoming eligible.
If the guarantee ends, nothing else changes: your plan, your videos and the promises below stay exactly the same.
8.What never changes, on every plan
Love it or don't pay
Not happy with your first video? We remake it, or refund the month.
On time or it's free
Every video has a due date. If we miss it, that video costs you nothing.
Claim-free or replaced
If any video gets a copyright claim, we replace it free.
Yours forever
Your channel, your login, your files. We never take them back.
You can cancel any time. Every video we've delivered stays yours.
