Paid per view: how milestones work

Milestones, not fractions of a cent

Many view-based programs use milestones rather than a rate per thousand views. A video earns a set amount once it passes each threshold, so you always know what the next milestone is worth.

Videos earn $35 at 1,000 views and up to $1,500 at 2 million views. Milestones do not stack: a video earns the amount for the highest milestone it reaches.

What makes a video eligible

Programs set rules so pay reflects real, approved work. Expect requirements about approval, posting platforms, and how long views are counted.

In Argo Creators: Your first two videos on each required platform are unpaid warm-ups. Get videos approved before posting and cross-post to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. Up to two eligible videos per day earn, with views tracked for 14 days.

Milestone pay versus flat fees

Flat fees pay the same whatever happens after delivery. Milestone pay rewards videos that people actually watch, so it suits creators who want to grow their accounts and improve with every post.

The trade-off is predictability. Posting consistently and learning from your analytics is how creators in view-based programs smooth out their income.
