Making Money

How It Works

RedGage pays users based on the views to content pages. The website generates revenue by posting advertisements on each page and shares this money with the users. Upload your photos, blogs, videos, and links to earn money from what you are already doing online. To learn more about how RedGage works, read more at the About RedGage section or check out the RedGage video.

As you start to make money from your original content, you can view your total earnings on your profile page and Money Balance section. Each content page also shows how much that individual upload has made over time. Click the Money Balance section under your username to view your Account Activity tab.

At the end of each month, your RedGage funds from the month before will be approved. That money will be pending for a few weeks during a verification process. As soon as your funds clear, it will show up in your 'Available Balance'.

Your Account Activity will show you a breakdown of your funds, your total balance, and your individual rate. Your unique Estimated Earnings Rate is the rate you make and is dynamic. Choose to see your earnings from 'All Time' or change the duration of time to see other statistics.

Withdrawing Funds

When your Available Balance reaches a minimum of $25.00, you can withdraw your funds. You may also choose to wait and let your earnings accumulate. Any funds in the 'Available Balance' section are ready for the withdraw stage. When you are ready to withdraw money, choose between the RedGage Card or the RedGage Virtual Card. Depending on the country you live in, you might not have the choice between the two cards.

Earning Rate

Each RedGage user starts with a base rate that is unique to that user. The base rate is calculated based on many factors (such as quality of work and level of activity).

Card Lost/Stolen? - The card shipment should take no longer than two business weeks from the time of your confirmation email. Contact support if you don't see your card after that time period.
