Brands supply finished sponsor-rail designs. Creators choose one and build a standard YouTube long-form thumbnail in the remaining space—without changing the video viewers came for.

Creators should not have to interrupt their content to unlock a new revenue line. Brands should not have to guess whether paid attention was actually delivered.
FrameYield creates a small, disclosed sponsor surface inside the YouTube long-form thumbnail—and settles it against official thumbnail reporting.
FrameYield matches category, geography, audience quality and brand-safety rules before a creator ever sees an offer.
ARCChoose every brand. Approve every design. Track eligible YouTube long-form thumbnail impressions and know exactly what is scheduled for payout.
Build a precise creator mix, preview every placement and pay only for validated YouTube long-form thumbnail delivery inside the active campaign window.
FrameYield starts by making the buyer’s risk smaller: a controlled test budget, manually curated established creators, creative proof, platform-reported reach and a report that says what it cannot prove.
Bound the first test. No campaign launches without business review, creator acceptance and reserved budget.
Request the Established Creator cohort: 250K+ eligible long-form impressions, publishing cadence and manual quality review.
Under the Founding Brand Circle, both eligible brands can earn a capped 5% future media credit after the referred brand’s first campaign settles.
Read the referral termsBrands pre-fund a campaign. Only verified delivery settles. Creators receive 80%; FrameYield retains 20% for matching, campaign software, validation, fraud review, payouts and support.

FrameYield separates reported activity from billable delivery. The distinction is visible to creators and brands before a campaign begins.
Officially reported, inside the campaign window, with the approved sponsor frame live and the video format attested.
Shorts, Reels, TikTok covers and chat previews may create exposure, but are outside this beta’s controlled, billable inventory.
Bots, traffic exchanges, abnormal refresh patterns and delivery outside the placement window are excluded.
Every frame uses the platform label and the legally appropriate local wording, such as “REKLAME FOR” in Denmark.
No follower minimum. Eligibility begins with deliverable attention, account health and original content.
Not in the Frame-Only format. The sponsor funds the placement in the thumbnail rail, while the creator keeps their normal editorial content. The relationship must still be disclosed using the platform’s paid-promotion tools and the required local wording.
Placements enter a seven-day validation window when the reporting period closes. Cleared balances above $25 are scheduled every Thursday. The dashboard shows pending, validating, scheduled and paid amounts separately.
No. External link previews and private chat exposure are treated as unbilled organic spillover. Only eligible YouTube long-form thumbnail delivery returned by connected platform analytics becomes billable.
Creators can set a CTR guardrail before accepting. If performance moves beyond that threshold, the placement can pause for review. FrameYield also reports the before-and-during delta rather than hiding it.
The brand’s campaign budget is reserved before placements begin. Validated delivery settles from that balance. Unused funds remain available for another campaign or are released after the campaign closes, subject to the billing agreement.
No—not as billable placements in the current launch scope. FrameYield accepts standard YouTube long-form videos with custom 1280×720 thumbnails. Shorts do not support an uploaded custom thumbnail in the same way, and short-form covers are smaller or inconsistently displayed. Those formats remain waitlist-only until FrameYield can define a separate creative and measurement standard.
