discord ya te permite ganar dinero con tu servidor

Discord is by far the preferred platform for gamers to communicate via voice in games. It is also a perfect meeting place for communities of influencers or social groups with common ideas. Now, running and moderating a Discord server is a very time-consuming task, especially when it’s from a massive community . Luckily, Discord just extended its subscription program to the servers so that creators can monetize their work.

Starting today, Discord server managers will be able to start charging subscription fees for special rewards like server perks or access to premium servers. Of course, not everyone will be able to earn money with their Discord server. We will tell you all the details soon.

Requirements to monetize your Discord server and earn money

These are the minimum requirements to start monetizing your Discord server:

  • Be of legal age (over 18 years of age).
  • Not have broken the rules.
  • Have verified email and phone number .
  • Activate two-step verification.

Of course, at the moment monetization is only available in the United States . If your Discord account, and therefore your server, is not from the US, you will not be able to access monetization for now. Surely in the future this program will be expanded to other regions.

By the way, Discord explicitly clarified that there is no minimum community size or threshold of active users to be eligible for monetization . No matter how big or small your community is, you will be able to add monetization options to your server as long as you meet the minimum requirements.

How the money from the subscriptions of your Discord server will be distributed

Unlike Twitch, which keeps 50% of the value of channel subscriptions, Discord will only keep 10% . In other words, you will keep 90% of the subscription income generated by your server . The truth is that, compared to Twitch, it is a very attractive proposition, although there is something wrong with it: the money you have earned will take time to reach your account.

Under Discord’s monetization terms , users will get paid 30 days after the end of the calendar month, which means creators won’t see the money they earned in January until March 1 . On top of that, your server must generate at least $100 in revenue in order to receive your first payment. Also, you must earn at least $25 for each subsequent monthly payment.

Which Discord servers cannot be monetized

According to Discord rules, servers focused on the following topics cannot be monetized:

  • Illegal drugs and dangerous weapons .
  • Sexually explicit content hosted on Discord or linked from elsewhere (those who redirect their community to OnlyFans, for example).
  • Bets or games of chance (all types of content that promote it).

Here we leave you the complete list of prohibited content on Discord that you cannot monetize where you can also see all the conditions and policies of this new program.
