How do Ustream Partners earn money?
Our Partner Program is a revenue-sharing program that allows creators and producers of original content to earn money from their videos on Ustream. You can earn revenue from relevant advertisements that run against your videos using Google's proprietary technology. The program is free to join.

How much money will I make?
There are no guarantees under the Ustream Partner agreement about how much you will be paid. Please visit the case studies above for examples of partners who have done well with the program.

What type of ads will run on my content?
The ads we display on your Ustream channel are determined automatically by our system. They are based on a number of contextual factors relating to your video, such as video category, for example.
