Earning Methods
There are two main ways to make money: setting a price per message sent to your bots and earning from subscriptions your bots help drive. When your bot engages users effectively, earnings accumulate. You can earn money in several ways:
- When your bot brings a new user to Poe and they subscribe.
- When your bot brings a user back to Poe and they subscribe.
- When users see your bot’s paywall and decide to subscribe.
- Each time users send messages to your bot.
Subscription Earnings
You have to set the limits after which users see paywalls. This means setting a limit on the number of free messages a user can send before they are prompted to subscribe. This strategy helps engage the user and encourages them to subscribe when they encounter the paywall.
Successful activations and paywalls generate subscription earnings. An activation occurs when your bot brings a user to Poe and they subscribe within a set period.
Paywalls convert when users see them and subscribe. Each subscription can earn you up to $20 for a monthly subscription or $100 for an annual subscription.
Message Earnings
You have the flexibility to set a price per message for your bots. Each time a user sends a message to your bot, you earn the price you have set. When setting this price, it’s important to strike a balance to maximize your revenue.
Your earnings per message are based on the price you set and the number of messages your bot responds to. For example, if you set a price of $0.50 per message and your bot responds to 1000 messages, you earn $500.
Payments
To receive payments, you need to complete your account setup on Stripe. Navigate to the Creators page on Poe, connect to Stripe, and fill in your taxpayer information within 90 days.
Payments are made in USD within 30-45 days of the end of each month, provided you have accumulated at least $10 in earnings.
