Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about earning with Earnads, payouts, links, and your publisher account.
General
What is Earnads?
Earnads is a URL shortener that pays publishers for valid visits through shortened links. You create links, share them, and earn based on visitor country and ad format CPM rates.
Is Earnads free to use?
Yes. Creating an account and shortening links is completely free. You only need to reach the minimum payout threshold before withdrawing.
Earnings
How do I earn money?
After signing up, shorten a URL and share the link. When someone visits through your short link and views the ad page, you earn based on the CPM rate for their country. Only unique, valid visits count toward earnings.
What counts as a valid (unique) view?
A valid view is the first earning visit from an IP address within a 24-hour window across the platform. Repeat visits from the same IP, VPN/proxy traffic, and invalid geo locations do not earn.
Payments
What is the minimum payout?
The minimum withdrawal amount is shown on your Payments page and may be updated by admin settings. Withdrawals are typically processed monthly when the withdrawal window is open.
Which payment methods are supported?
Supported methods depend on current platform settings — commonly PayPal, USDT (TRC20), and Binance. Check the Payments page and announcements for the latest options and fees.
Links
Can I use a custom alias for my short links?
Yes. When creating a link you can set a custom alias if it is available. Aliases must be unique across the platform.
Account
How does the referral program work?
When you refer new publishers, you earn a percentage of their link earnings for as long as they remain active. Share your referral link from the Referrals section in your dashboard.
