Typical monthly earnings for average user
Sharing Toys is the mechanism by which Newgrounds allows registered users to get a share in the advertising revenue raised through their participation on the site. For most users it is a tiny ammount of money and switching it on will just produce a tiny figure of so many cents a month at the most. For regular users, who attract a lot of visits to their page and views to their movies, art etc, it can amount to quite a few dollars a month.
History
PsychoGoldfish introduced an advertising revenue system to Newgrounds submitters in 2007. Tom Fulp announced the introduction of the present system in a Post in 2009.
How it works
Registered Users can all sign up from their account pages, which require at least an address to post a cheque to. They will then accrue earnings from visits to their User page and clicks to adverts from it. Submittors will also get revenue from visits to their Flash, Art and Audio pages and the clicks from it.
How much people get
Revenue will only be paid out when it reaches $50, and it will acrue month after month until it reaches that figure. There is a thread with explains exactly when it will pay out monthly. There is a thread where people post their earnings, comment on and discuss earnings and often joke about how little it usualy is. Most people on the thread have just a few cents and some calculate how many years it will take them to earn their first $50 cheque. However, a few people, such as Luis, talk about so many dollars a month.
Splitting the Revenue
It is possible to split the revenue for any submission with co-authors, musicians etc. This is done at the time of Submission, where the system asks the submitter to set percentages for their team members. There is no general agreement on what those percentages should be, but there is a thread where the percentage that goes to NG musicians etc. (as well as the legitimacy of Revenue) is discussed and various opinions and advice are given.
