Perspire.tv operates on an 80/20 revenue sharing model. When a user spends Coins on your content you keep 80% and Perspire retains 20% as an admin fee. This article explains what that fee covers and why it exists.
The 80/20 Revenue Split
Every time a user spends Coins on your videos, live sessions, Programs, or channel subscription you earn 80% of those Coins. Perspire retains 20% to cover the costs of running and growing the platform on your behalf.
What Does the 20% Cover?
The admin fee helps cover the following costs:
Software and Server Costs
Keeping the platform running smoothly and reliably requires robust software and powerful servers. This ensures trainers and users can upload, stream, and access content without interruption.
Streaming Costs
Perspire.tv uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver high quality, reliable video streaming for all trainer content including live sessions and on-demand videos.
Credit Card Processing and Transaction Fees
Every Coin purchase on the platform incurs payment processing fees charged by Stripe and credit card companies. These are covered by the admin fee so trainers receive their full 80% without any additional deductions.
Platform Development and Maintenance
The admin fee supports ongoing platform improvements including new features, bug fixes, performance updates, and the upcoming mobile app for iOS and Android.
Advertising and Marketing
Perspire invests in advertising and marketing to bring new users to the platform. A growing user base means more potential customers for your content and channel.
Why Is There an Admin Fee?
Without the admin fee Perspire would not be able to maintain the infrastructure, streaming quality, and features that make the platform work. The 20% is what keeps the lights on and the platform growing so you can focus on creating great content and building your audience.
How Does This Compare?
Perspire's 80/20 split is one of the most trainer-friendly revenue models in the fitness streaming industry. Many platforms take a significantly larger cut or charge monthly fees on top of their revenue share. On Perspire there are no monthly fees to list your content and no hidden deductions from your earnings.
Where Can I See the Admin Fee?
When uploading a video or setting your subscription price you will see a breakdown showing the customer price, the Perspire admin fee, and your profit. This gives you full visibility into exactly what you will earn before you publish your content.
