How Trainer Earnings Work: The 80/20 Revenue Split Explained

Learn how the 80/20 revenue split works on Perspire.tv and how you earn Coins from your videos, live sessions, Programs, and channel subscriptions.

Written by Stephen Sullivan

As a trainer on Perspire.tv you keep 80% of every Coin spent on your content. Here is a complete breakdown of how the revenue split works and what you can earn from each content type.


The 80/20 Split

Every time a user spends Coins on your content the revenue is split as follows:

  • You earn 80% of the Coins spent

  • Perspire retains 20% as an admin fee

This applies to all content types including videos, live sessions, Programs, and channel subscriptions.

For example if you price a video at 100 Coins:

  • The user pays 100 Coins

  • You earn 80 Coins ($8.00)

  • Perspire retains 20 Coins ($2.00)

You can see this breakdown in real time when setting your price during the video upload, live session scheduling, or Program creation process.

What You Can Earn From

On-Demand Videos
Users pay Coins to unlock your videos for 72 hour rental access. You earn 80% of the rental price each time a user unlocks your video. There is no limit to how many times a video can be rented so popular videos can generate ongoing passive income.

Live Training Sessions
Users pay Coins to book a seat for your live session. You earn 80% of the booking price for each seat sold. You can also set a separate Recording Price for users who want to rent the replay after the session ends and earn 80% of that as well.

Programs
Users pay Coins to purchase or rent your Programs. You earn 80% of the Program price each time a user unlocks it. Programs offered as lifetime purchases can continue generating income long after they are published.

Channel Subscriptions
Users pay a monthly Coin fee to subscribe to your channel for unlimited access to your content. You earn 80% of the subscription fee each month for every active subscriber. Channel subscriptions are one of the best ways to build a stable recurring income on Perspire.tv.


Coin to USD Conversion

All earnings on Perspire.tv are in Coins. When you request a payout your Coins are converted to USD at the following rate:

10 Coins = $1

So for example:

  • 200 Coins = $20

  • 500 Coins = $50

  • 1000 Coins = $100


How Pricing Affects Your Earnings

You set your own prices for all of your content. Here is a quick reference for how different price points translate to your earnings after the 80/20 split:

When Do You Get Paid?

Your earnings follow this journey from sale to payout:

  2. Coins appear in your Pending Balance immediately

  3. After 72 hours Coins move to your Available Balance

  4. You reserve Coins for payout by moving them to your Reserved Balance

  5. On the next payout date (1st or 15th of the month) your Reserved Coins are converted to USD and transferred to your Stripe account


Maximizing Your Earnings

Here are some strategies to increase your earnings on Perspire.tv:

Upload consistently
More content means more opportunities for users to find and purchase your videos. Trainers who upload regularly tend to build larger audiences and earn more over time.

Enable channel subscriptions
A monthly subscription gives you recurring income from your most loyal users. Even a small number of active subscribers can make a significant difference to your monthly earnings.

Create Programs
Programs bundle multiple videos into a higher value product that users pay more for upfront. A well structured Program can generate significantly more per user than individual video rentals.

Price your content appropriately
Do not undervalue your content. Full length follow along workouts of 30 to 60 minutes can command higher prices than short clips. Browse other trainer channels to get a sense of pricing on the platform.

Promote your content
The more users who discover your channel the more potential purchases you will generate. Share your channel link and content links on social media and with your existing audience regularly.
