Everything you create, earns.
EARNIN TRACKER gives every song, film, book, article, painting, dataset, product design and ordinary social post a permanent identity — then follows it across every screen, shelf, speaker and model on earth and pays whoever made it. Billions of creators are already enlisted; most just haven't claimed their money yet.
Once you are signed in, add every account you publish from — any platform, any country — inside your dashboard so all of it is swept.

90-day guarantee
Paid within 90 days of signing up
From the day you register, your first remittance is guaranteed inside 90 days. If we miss it, we waive our commission on that payout. Monetisation status is irrelevant — demonetised, suspended and deleted accounts keep earning because detection happens off platform.

The machinery behind the money
Global creator wall
Hundreds of real creators, live from their own profiles
Musicians, professors, inventors, journalists, podcasters, film-makers, designers and social creators from every continent — each tile flips to another indexed creator and links straight to their public profile. Every one of them is paid for the reuse we track.

We only earn when you get paid
No subscriptions, no listing fees, no upfront cost. We take a commission on money we actually recover and remit — so the harder we work for you, the more we make. The rate drops as your recovered income grows.

The creators already getting paid
Each panel rotates through a different creator and the income streams EARNIN TRACKER collects for them.
No paperwork required
You do not need to own any paperwork to get paid
Copyright registration, trademarks, patents, ISRCs, ISBNs, DOIs, design rights, publishing deals, collecting-society membership, label or agency representation, business registration, monetisation eligibility and even platform terms have no effect on tracking. EARNIN TRACKER pays on evidence of authorship plus evidence of use — the fingerprint of the work and the record of where it was used.
- No copyright registration required
- No trademark required
- No patent required
- No design or utility model registration
- No ISRC, ISWC, ISBN, ISSN or DOI
- No collecting-society membership
Questions, answered
Fifteen things creators ask before they claim — including academics, and everyone without formal rights paperwork.
Every fingerprintable creation: songs, stems, films, clips, photographs, illustrations, paintings, sculptures, books, articles, theses, datasets, code, product designs, brand assets, recipes, choreography, lesson plans, voice, likeness — and ordinary social posts, comments and captions. Each gets a Universal Work ID, and we watch for its use across digital, software, hardware, broadcast, retail and physical surfaces.
Yes, and it is one of the fastest-growing categories on the platform. Graduate and faculty work is cited, downloaded, syllabused, reprinted in course packs, quoted in commercial reports and used to train models. We collect citation royalties, reprography and collective-licensing income, dataset licence fees, lecture-recording royalties, textbook royalties, peer-review honoraria and downstream grant residuals.
Yes. Registration is never a condition of earning. We pay on evidence of authorship plus evidence of use. No copyright registration, trademark, patent, design right, ISRC, ISBN, DOI, collecting-society membership, publisher, label, agency, business registration or monetisation eligibility is required. Formal rights only widen our enforcement options — they never gate your income.
From the moment you sign up, your first remittance is guaranteed within 90 days. Your dashboard shows a live countdown and every milestone notification. If we miss the deadline, we waive our commission on that payout entirely.
