FAQ
Common questions
You can select Standard, AdFlow, or OnePage from your dashboard when configuring a file. Each model handles visitor traffic differently — choose based on what matters most to you: maximum revenue, scaling rates, or a frictionless visitor experience.
Standard pays you based on tier rates (up to $25 CPM) and redirects adblockers to a different page flow. AdFlow pays a $2 floor CPM that can increase with advertiser demand, and uses our in-house tech to monetize adblocker traffic even if the visitor does not purchase a plan.
In Standard mode, the visitor is required to purchase a monthly plan or one-time access — you earn 90% of that sale. In AdFlow mode, if they do not purchase, no log is counted. In OnePage mode, all visitors including proxy users get the same simple single-page download.
AdFlow starts at a $2 CPM floor for all uploaders. As your traffic quality improves and advertisers see demand for your specific audience, your rate can increase. The better your traffic, the more advertisers are willing to pay.
OnePage is ideal for creators who want to share files with their audience without any friction. The entire download happens on a single page with no redirects. The floor CPM is $1. It is the simplest experience for your visitors.
Yes. All earnings from every model are automatically credited to your CloudFam wallet. You can withdraw once your balance reaches $10, with payouts processed within 24–72 hours.
