How you earn on hello.fan
You set a per-minute rate for each call type (50–5,000 credits a minute; 100 credits = $1). Fans pay from a prepaid balance, billed in 15-second steps that start only once you're both connected. You keep 60% — so a 15-minute video call at 300 credits a minute earns you $27. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe from $50. Try your numbers in the earnings calculator.
