Understanding Your Earnings Dashboard

Your Creator Studio earnings dashboard is mission control for monetization. This guide explains every metric, how earnings work, and how to optimize for more revenue.

Accessing Your Dashboard

1. Log in to Assisters

2. Click "Creator Studio" in the navigation

3. Select "Earnings" from the sidebar

You'll see an overview of your earnings across all assistants.

Dashboard Overview

Key Metrics

**Pending Earnings**

**Available Balance**

Amount ready for payout. Appears after the monthly processing.

**This Month**

Current month's earnings in real-time.

  • **Today**: Real-time daily earnings
  • **This Week**: Current 7-day period
  • **This Month**: Current calendar month
  • **All Time**: Lifetime totals

How Earnings Work

Revenue Sources

**1. Marketplace Usage**

When Assisters subscribers chat with your assistant:

  • Each conversation generates tokens
  • Tokens are tracked and attributed to your assistant
  • You earn a competitive share of the subscription revenue proportional to usage

**2. Embed/API Usage**

When businesses use your assistant via embed or API:

  • They pay from their wallet per token
  • You set the per-token price (minimum $3.75/million)
  • You earn a competitive share of every dollar spent

Competitive Revenue Share

For every dollar of revenue your assistant generates, you receive a competitive share while Assisters handles infrastructure, LLM costs, and platform maintenance.

This split is transparent and consistent across all revenue types.

Calculating Earnings

**Marketplace example:**

  • User on Plus plan ($19/month) chats with 5 different assistants
  • They spend 40% of their usage on your assistant
  • You earn a proportional share based on their usage

**Embed example:**

  • Business spends $100/month on your assistant via API
  • You earn a competitive share of that revenue
