Monetize — earn as a publisher

Sell your ad space on the Herald network. Advertisers pay per click; you keep a rev-share of every valid click your placement delivers. For us, for people who build their site with us, and for external YouTubers / TikTokers / bloggers — no MELEK account required.

1. Grab your ad unit

Paste this plain <iframe> where you want the ad — a page, a sidebar, a video description link-out, or a Herald-built site. No third-party JavaScript to trust. Every unit carries the required "Ad" disclosure label and routes the click through the /go rail so it's credited to you.

<iframe src="https://herald.soapbox.community/embed/unit?pub=your-publisher-id&amp;slot=sponsored&amp;fmt=mrec" width="300" height="250" style="border:0;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox" title="Advertisement"></iframe>

Swap your-publisher-id for the id you get on sign-up. Sizes: mrec (300×250), leaderboard (728×90), banner (468×60), mobile (320×50), halfpage (300×600), square (250×250).

2. Sign up — MELEK-optional

Start with just an email and a payout destination. No wallet, no chain, no MELEK account. External creators are paid in fiat. Later, connect MELEK-Signer (scoped, revocable, zero-key) to upgrade to token payouts + curation-trail bonuses — a strict upgrade, never a gate.

Design-only: this page holds no key, stores nothing, and moves no funds. Live payouts run only through MELEK-Signer custody or a PCI-safe payouts rail.
