Payment types that apply
A single work usually earns through several channels at once. Each is reconciled separately in your ledger so you can see exactly where the money came from.
- Citation royalties — Per-citation income when your paper, thesis or dataset is referenced in published or commercial work.
- Thesis & dissertation reuse — Payment when graduate work is downloaded, reprinted, syllabused or built upon.
- Reprography & course packs — Collective licensing income from photocopying, scanning and campus course packs.
- Dataset licensing — Commercial and academic licence fees when your data, corpus or benchmark is used.
- Peer review & editorial fees — Recovered honoraria for review, editing and scientific advisory work you were never paid for.
- Grant & institutional residuals — Downstream income when funded outputs are commercialised or relicensed.
- Royalties — Mechanical, performance, print, resale and neighbouring rights.
- Residuals — Recurring pay for reuse, reruns and territory expansions.
- Per-use micropayments — Sub-cent settlement for a single view, scroll or quote.
- Licensing fees — Sync, editorial, commercial, exclusive and perpetual terms.
How the money reaches you
Recovered income is remitted into your GFinOS wallet. Link your gfinos.app account number, registered mobile number or registered email address once, and every future settlement lands there automatically. Your first payment is guaranteed within 90 days of signing up.
- No copyright, trademark, patent, ISRC, ISBN, DOI or society membership required
- Works for demonetised, suspended and deleted accounts
- Commission is taken only on income actually recovered — nothing upfront
- Exact amounts can stay private while you still appear on the leaderboard

Maswali yanayoulizwa
- Can music & audio creators earn without a publisher, label or agency?
- Yes. Independent, unsigned and unrepresented creators are tracked identically to represented ones. Representation changes nothing about detection or payment.
- Do I need registered rights to be paid?
- No. Payment is based on evidence of authorship plus evidence of use. Copyright registration, trademarks, patents, ISRCs, ISBNs, DOIs, label, publisher or collecting-society membership are never required — they only widen enforcement options.
- How soon is the first payment?
- Within 90 days of signing up, provided identity verification is complete and a gfinos.app payout identity is linked. The dashboard shows a live countdown, and if the deadline is missed the commission on that payout is waived.
