Spaces can monetize in three different ways, and you can enable any combination of programs. Earnings are calculated differently depending on which program(s) you enable for your Space.
To learn more about each program, you can see the earnings programs overview from the Monetization section of your Space’s settings.
Note: We are not accepting new Spaces into the Spaces subscription or Ads revenue share programs.
1. Ad revenue sharing
Ad revenue sharing is the fastest and easiest way to earn money while keeping your Space’s content free for all users. Participants will earn a portion of ad revenue generated from impressions on their content. The more followers and views your Space has, the more you can expect to earn.
How are earnings calculated for ad revenue sharing?
Your Space will generate ad revenue when people view or click on ads while browsing content from your Space. A Space's ad revenue is usually proportionate to its viewership.
What will my audience see?
People interacting with your Space will not see anything different. They already see personalized ads when visiting your Space page or reading your Space’s content from their own feed, notifications and emails. Turning on ad revenue sharing does not change when or how ads are displayed, or make your content look different.
2. Quora+ revenue sharing
Earn on your own schedule with Quora+ revenue sharing. People join Quora+ for $6.99/month or $47.88/year to get full access to content on Quora. Spaces can earn a share of this revenue by offering content exclusive to Quora+ subscribers. Quora+ revenue sharing is ideal for Spaces looking to earn on paid content without the commitment of offering a monthly or yearly subscription. It is also ideal for Spaces that enjoy the flexibility of monetizing the content of their choosing across a broad audience.

How are earnings calculated for Quora+ revenue sharing?
You earn a portion of Quora+ fees when subscribers read or interact with your Space’s Quora+ exclusive content. Reading time and interaction frequency will impact your earnings. Additionally, your Space earns a referral bonus each time a non-subscriber signs up for Quora+ from a post that belongs to your Space. Earnings are accumulated and Space owners receive up to monthly payouts.
What will my audience see?
Quora+ subscribers will have access to all content in your Space. For any post in your Space, you will have the option to reserve it for Quora+ subscribers only, allow anyone to access, or enable the adaptive paywall to let Quora’s algorithms adopt different variations to optimize per reader. Non-subscribers may see a paywall when attempting to access subscribers-only content, upon which they can choose to become a Quora+ subscriber.
3. Space subscriptions
Offer your Space followers a paid monthly or yearly subscription. As a Space offering subscriptions, you can choose which posts to reserve for subscribers. You’ll set your own fees and be responsible for producing content your paying subscribers find valuable. Subscriptions are ideal for creators committed to producing content that is valuable to their audience on a regular basis.
