FAQs
How does Aelu actually work?
Aelu connects creators with pre-cleared, monetizable music. When you use Aelu’s tracks in your Shorts, Reels, or Stories, we track the performance and pay you based on RPM (revenue per 1,000 plays). The better your content performs, the more you earn.
Can I join even if I’m not monetized on YouTube or Instagram?
Yes. We don’t require platform monetization. As long as you hit the engagement threshold (5M+ engaged views in the last 30 days), you’re eligible to apply.
No ads, no brand deals, just RPM based payouts from the music itself.
What platforms does Aelu support?
Right now, Aelu supports YouTube Shorts. We’re currently building out support for Instagram Reels and Facebook. You’ll be among the first to access it when it rolls out. Early beta testers will get priority.
Is there a cost to join Aelu?
Nope. Aelu is completely free for creators who qualify. There are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, and no rev share surprises. If you’re eligible and approved, you start earning. That’s it.
How and when do I get paid?
Payouts are sent via PayPal once you hit the minimum threshold of $100 in earnings. We process payments on a monthly basis, and you’ll get a notification when your balance is ready to withdraw. Simple, fast, and global.
