Earning period
Understand how long a submission can earn and how it behaves over time.
Overview
The earning period is the time window during which an approved submission is eligible to receive rewards on Duzlo.
Each submission can earn for up to 7 days from the moment it is posted. During this time, the submission participates in the adaptive rewards system and receives payments based on its performance relative to other active submissions competing for the same rewards.
How it works
The earning period begins at the exact time your post is published, not when it is submitted or approved.
Once approved, your submission becomes eligible to earn and will continue to be eligible until the 7-day earning period ends. Throughout this period, rewards are distributed dynamically based on performance.
After the earning period ends, the submission will no longer receive any additional payments, regardless of whether it continues to generate views.
Independent of submission deadline
The earning period is independent of the submission deadline.
Even if a submission is posted just before a piece of content reaches its submission deadline, it will still be eligible to earn for a full 7 days from the time it was posted.
Submission deadlines only control when new posts can be submitted, not how long existing submissions can earn.
Why it exists
The earning period ensures that every approved submission has a fair opportunity to perform across its full lifecycle.
In traditional systems, early viral posts often captured the majority of rewards, leaving little opportunity for posts that gained traction later. Duzlo’s earning period removes this limitation by allowing submissions to continue earning as they grow.
What this means in practice
- A post that gains traction later can still earn meaningfully
- Early performance is important, but not the only factor
- All approved submissions are given equal time to perform
- Views generated after the earning period do not produce additional earnings
Key takeaways
- Each submission can earn for up to 7 days from when it is posted
- Earnings are based on performance during this window
- The earning period is not affected by submission deadlines
- Once the earning period ends, earnings stop permanently
Disclaimer
The adaptive rewards system can stop paying a submission if it believes additional payments would be unfair relative to other active submissions competing for the same rewards.
Understanding the earning period is essential to setting expectations and maximizing performance on Duzlo.
