Getting Paid on Wirestock: Your Two Options

Getting Paid on Wirestock: Your Two Options

Sona Poghosyan

We've made big changes to how Wirestock works. You've heard about them. Now let's talk about the two ways you can earn money on the platform. Here is what you need to know about Fixed Payments and the Commission Based plan.

The Two Programs at a Glance

With Fixed Payments, you apply to join a creator pool, complete a test task, and then earn money every time one of your submissions gets approved for an active project. 


With Commission Based pay, your approved content sits in ongoing project listings where buyers license it repeatedly over time. You earn every time someone licenses your work, with no additional effort needed after you submit it.


Fixed Payment 


With Fixed Payments, you get paid instantly after your submitted work is approved. Projects span photography, videography, graphic design, and animation. You're given a brief, you create based on that brief, and when your work gets approved, you earn money for it.


How to get started


  1. Review the project — Check the requirements and technical guidelines carefully. Your submission needs to follow them closely.

  2. Complete a test task — Submit a sample based on the brief. This is unpaid and lets us see how you work and whether you can follow directions.

  3. Join the creator pool — We review each submission for quality and how well you followed the brief. If approved, you'll be added to the creator pool for that project type, and we'll contact you when a matching project comes up.

  4. Submit your work — Once you're selected for a project, you'll create and submit based on the brief provided.


How earnings work


You earn for each approved submission. Example: you submit 20 photos to a brief. 15 get approved. Rate per asset times 15 equals what you earn.


Commission Based


Your approved content is organized into structured project listings by content type. Wirestock then offers this data to AI labs. Every time someone licenses your work, you get paid.

If you had content approved on Wirestock before these changes, it's already moved into a Commission Based project. You don't need to do anything. It's already there and ready to generate earnings.


How to get started


Your existing approved content is already live in Commission Based projects. From here, every time a buyer licenses one of your assets, you're notified and paid automatically. If you want to add new content going forward, submit it through the standard paid projects workflow.


How earnings work


You earn 50% commission each time someone licenses one of your assets. Since license rates can vary, your total earnings depend on the sale amount and how many times the asset is licensed. 

Can I Do Both?

Yes. You can take on Fixed Payment projects while your approved content earns from Commission Based licenses at the same time.
