After you finish recording your first session:

Verification: Our team will review your submission to ensure it meets the program guidelines. This process typically takes 24–48 business hours.

Notification: Once the verification is complete, you’ll receive an email letting you know the results.

Next Steps:

• If your session is approved, you’ll unlock additional recording hours so you can create more content.
• If your session is not approved, the email will include guidance or reasons why, so you can make adjustments and try again.

Payouts:

• Payments for verified sessions are issued on the last Friday of each month through your preferred method: PayPal, or PayTM.
• You can earn up to $50 USD total for 50 hours of verified, podcast-ready episodes during the trial phase.
• Payments are pro-rated at up to $1 per verified hour (e.g., 30 minutes = $0.50). This system is designed to accommodate different episode lengths, and you don’t need to worry — you can still earn the full amount over time.

Common reasons submissions are rejected:

• Duplicate uploads of the same recording
• Voice does not match the registered creator account
• Discussion is off-topic or incoherent
• Excessive background noise
  
  

Tips to get approved:
