ZANY pays creators for the laughs they create. Here is the honest, step-by-step path from your first meme to your first withdrawal — no video required, ever.

Step 1 — Make memes people love
Everything starts in the meme creator: pick a picture, add your top and bottom text, choose a category and publish. ZANY is text-and-image only, so your memes load instantly and stay readable on any connection.
- Post consistently — daily posters build streaks and show up more in feeds.
- Use a couple of relevant hashtags so people can find you in Discover.
- Original humour beats reposts: stolen content can void earnings.
Step 2 — Unlock creator monetization
Once your account meets both thresholds, you can apply for monetization from the Creator studio:
- 500 followers on your profile.
- 10,000 eligible impressions across your posts.
Apply from your profile → Creator studio. Only impressions recorded after approval count toward earnings, and every credit appears in a ledger you can inspect.
Step 3 — Earn from the creator pool
There is no fixed rate per 1,000 views. Each month, 60% of Zany's revenue goes into a creator pool that is shared among approved creators by creator score — your share of the platform's qualified views (70%), likes (20%) and comments (10%). The formula is simple:
earnings = creator score × creator pool
Your live score and estimated earnings are always visible in the Creator studio. Self-views, bots and refresh loops never count — the full rules are on the Monetization Rules page.
Earn sooner with the affiliate marketplace
You do not have to wait for monetization approval. The Earn marketplace lets any creator promote products from approved businesses and earn a commission on every qualifying sale — creators keep the majority share of each commission. Brands also post paid campaigns there that you can apply to directly.
Getting paid
- Earnings settle monthly — estimates become available once the month's revenue is verified and the period is finalized.
- Payout requests open between the 28th and 30th of each month (UTC).
- Payment arrives the same day or within 3 days, in USDT or USDC, to the wallet address you provide.
- Minimum payout: $10.
Play it fair
Bought followers, engagement rings, bots and stolen content void earnings and can permanently remove an account from the programme. The Community Rules keep the feed funny for everyone.
Potential earnings depend on real audience attention and real purchases — always estimates, never guarantees.
