F.A.Q.
What is the minimum payment amount?
$5.00 USDWhat is your payment time frame?
Once your account has reached over $5.00 USD in earnings, please email admin@alphacoders.com requesting a payment. We typically send funds within a couple weeks of payments being requested. Please include the Paypal email for us to send funds to.What does unique visitors to my account mean?
We don't pay via views to content - we pay per unique visitor to your content, per day. So someone refreshing a page over and over isn't going to make you rich.As an example, lets say you have two friends, Harry and Bob. Harry and Bob both view, and comment on one of your original submissions from their own homes. You have 2 unique visitors for the day. If Bob goes to work/school and views some more of your content, you have an additional unique. Once midnight hits (The server's time zone is California), Harry and Bob could both visit again and be counted.
Do I need to stay active?
If you have approved creator content on Alpha Coders, you don't have to remain active. However, a creator account with no approved creator content will eventually have that privilege taken away. This cuts down on abuse.Some examples of valid and invalid Alpha Coders Creator Content
