Pricing for Hosts

Half. Forever.
That’s the deal.

You keep 50% of every Workshop sale, including from the Buyers we bring you. Free to list. No subscription. No “promotion fees.” No quiet 30% take rate that creeps up next year. The clearest revenue share on the internet.

The split, visualised

One number. Same number for every Host.

No tiers, no negotiation, no “premium” plan that gets you a better cut. Whether you’re our first Host or our ten-thousandth, the split is the same.

Numbers shown are 50% of the GST-exclusive sale price (e.g., $29 incl GST → $26.36 net → your 50% = $13.18). The 10% Community Growth Fund and 1% R U OK? donation also come out of the GST-exclusive amount and out of MingleIn’s half, not yours. Stripe takes 1.75% + $0.30 per AU card sale, also out of our half. Engineering note: the JS calculator must compute per-sale = (price - GST) × 0.5, not price × 0.5.
v1.1 update · The second pillar

Your 50% lands in MingleIn Kitty, not just a payout queue.

MingleIn Kitty isn’t a payout. It’s a compounding creative loop.

The 50% Host share you earn from every Workshop sale doesn’t sit in limbo, it lands in your Earnings within 7 business days. That’s an on-platform Earnings line that’s yours to direct, every month.

Step 1
Sale clears, Earnings grow
Within 7 business days of the Buyer's purchase, your half lands in your Earnings, in AUD.
Step 2
You decide
Withdraw to your bank in another 7 business days, or keep your Earnings to spend on the next Workshop.
Step 3
Re-spend, stay inside the Community
When you spend it on another Host's Workshop, your next Boast on it can route a slice of the Community Growth Fund back to you. The detail lives in your dashboard once you're signed in.

Most pricing pages stop at “we pay you out”. Ours doesn’t. The Hosts who use MingleIn Kitty to learn from peers end up with the strongest Boast portfolios, because they spent more time inside the platform’s actual catalogue, and they crossed back into Buyer mode where the Community Growth Fund recirculates.

Withdraw, spend, or both. Your call, every month. The 7-business-day withdrawal guarantee is published, not a default we hide behind. Spending it back is the second option, not the first one we push.

Path A: Withdraw to bank in 7 business daysPath B: Spend on a peer Workshop, stay inside the Community Growth FundPath C: Both, in any mix you like

What our half pays for

You keep your half. Here’s what we do with ours.

  • ~ 14%
    Payment processing & fraud (Stripe + chargebacks)
  • ~ 18%
    Hosting, video CDN, transcoding, captions
  • ~ 12%

Honest answers

The questions Hosts actually ask us first.

Will the 50% ever change?
Not for any Host already on the platform. If we ever change new-Host pricing, existing Hosts are grandfathered, written into the Host Agreement, not a marketing promise.
Are there hidden fees?
No. Stripe processing comes out of our half. We don’t run "promoted listings", "boost" features, or pay-to-rank visibility. Search results are ranked by relevance and Buyer signal, not by ad spend.
When do I get paid?
Your Earnings land within 7 business days. From there, you can withdraw to your AU bank account in another 7 business days, no friction. That’s a published guarantee. Or hold your Earnings and spend on another Host’s Workshop, your call.
Why MingleIn Kitty instead of straight bank deposit?
It's a second option, not a replacement for the first. The bank-transfer path is published and low-friction. But MingleIn Kitty gives you a way to reinvest your Earnings on the platform, learn from peers, and stay inside the Community Growth Fund when your next Boast inspires the next Buyer. Hosts who use the loop end up with sharper Workshops and stronger Boast portfolios. We don't push it; we just make it available.
What about GST?
If you're GST-registered we collect it from the Buyer and remit it to you (you handle ATO). If you're not registered, we treat the sale as inclusive, no GST applies to your share. Either way it's tracked in your dashboard.
Do I keep my IP?
Yes. You retain copyright. We have a non-exclusive licence to host and stream your Workshop while you're a Host. Take it down whenever, no penalty.
Do I have to be exclusive to MingleIn?
No. List the same Workshop on Skillshare, your own site, or YouTube, your call. We just ask that you don't list the exact same edit on a competing platform at a lower price.
What about refunds?
Buyers can refund within 14 days if they haven't watched more than 25%. Refunds come out of our share first; the Host portion is only clawed back if abuse is detected. We absorb the friction.
