How We Pay?

At Finance Train, we have a royalty program. As an author, you can monetize your articles using our royalty program. Finance Train earns its revenue from Internet’s top ad revenue generating tool, that is, Google ads, so we split the impressions with our writers. An impression occurs whenever an ad appears on an article. You, the writer, receive 60% of the impressions, while Finance Train receives the remaining 40%. Any revenue generated while your ad is displayed is entirely yours. So if a page is visited 1000 times, 600 of the ad impressions are yours, and 400 are Finance Train’s. You keep all the revenue generated from any clicks in those 600 ad impressions.

To participate in our royalty program, you must have a Google Adsense account. If you don’t have one, you can open one right away!
