How do you stop monitisation? like when you get 100 subscribers on a comic or novel?

[missros_e]

I got 100 subcribers ages ago on my novel and made 0 money from it as I don't get enough views and never will so it's pointless to stay on the ad program or whatever it is, I don't really care about making money here just want to share my work/promote. How do I leave it?

I don't know if you can leave it - it's automatic, but it doesn't cost you anything, either. I can relate though, I've made like $0.25 so far. Good thing I didn't expect to make any useful money from Tapas directly.

25 cents is actually pretty notable. I've had my novel monetized for almost a year and have made 0 cents. you must be getting mega-traffic

I don't know if monetization per view is different for comics vs. novels. My views are alright for a webcomic that never makes it into the community features.

oh, it might work differently, idk

afaik the only way to request to leave or begin the process is getting touch with site staff either thru email or maybe the discord (ive only ever known of one other user to do this)

but this sounds lke pretty average earnings given the main ways you're getting money are either ad revenue which acrues based on how many views your work gets and direct tips with ink/coins or whatever tapas' currency is referred to as nowadays which can net you a lot more than just ad rev/views

if you're certain you don't want to try it for longer then yeah i don't see any harm in leaving the program but if you're just starting out and willing to stick things out a bit longer then maybe give it another go

you'll obviously earn a lot more from separate funding platforms like ko-fi, patreon, buy me a coffee and the like but for in site earning programs thats just how it goes

at one point there were a few folks who'd actively track how much people were earning based on certain view counts tho I'm not sure how easy it'd be to find them now. it is still very likely that amounts that can be earned have changed drastically compared to the earlier days but if you're cool with a little pocket money at a time building up passively it's not too bad (speaking as a bit of a tapas oldie)

still whichever choice you make i wish you th best of luck with your work

Monetization is an opt-in feature since staff have to review your account anyway to see that you're not a bot.
So when you reach the required number of subs, don't activate it on your dashboard.

When you reach the minimum amount of subs, an option should appear on your dashboard for monetization. Click on it to apply and then staff will review your account and either approve it or decline it.
