How it works.
Every character starts at zero, same as everyone else’s. Build it, post it, get paid for the views it earns. Over 10,000 creators have already joined the program.
Make your character (in Cantina)
Your character is made in Cantina: the look, the voice, the personality, consistent across every video. Link a brand-new TikTok and Instagram for it, then paste its share link in your portal so every post is tracked and paid.

Post it (up to 3 a day)
Each post that clears 350 views pays $2.50. You can post up to 3 times a day on each account. Across TikTok and Instagram, that's 42 chances to earn every week. Three qualifying videos a week keeps you active, and active standing keeps your full rate and your access to bounties.

The rules, all of them.
Every rule that applies is on this page. No hidden stages, no graduation gates, no second rulebook waiting in week two.
Staying active
Post three videos a week that each clear 350 views. That keeps your full earning rate, your 5 weekly generations, and your bounty access. It’s measured on videos that qualify, and never on how many times you posted.
Getting paid
Rolling weekly cycle. You don’t claim anything or submit anything. We read view counts on your linked accounts and pay what qualified. A post that crosses 350 views three days late still counts.
What costs you a post, or your place
Bought views or engagement. Voids the post. Do it twice and you're out of the program.
Content not made in Cantina. We can't attribute it, so it doesn't pay.
Missing the Cantina logo and outro. Videos need both to count.
A private account. We can't read views on a private account, so nothing counts while it's private.
Running a second character on the same account. One program character at a time, the one you link in the portal, on your linked TikTok and Instagram. Build more characters if you like. Each extra one needs its own social account, approved first under the Account Rules. Only posts from your linked accounts count.
Unlinking or swapping an account. Talk to ops first. Posts on an unlinked account aren't tracked.
Nothing else. No quotas beyond the three, no clock, no expiry date.
