Turn your streams into income

Ultra isn’t just another streaming platform - it’s your business platform. With four distinct revenue streams and instant payouts, you have complete control over how you monetize your content and connections.
Key advantage: Unlike other platforms, Ultra lets you start earning from day one. No follower requirements, no waiting periods, no approval process.

Your four revenue streams

1. VIP Sessions ($1-30/hour)

VIP sessions are your bread and butter on Ultra. When you activate VIP mode, viewers pay a per-minute rate to stay in your stream. It’s like having a paid exclusive club. VIP Session Best Practices:
  • Start with lower rates ($5-10/hour) to build your VIP community
  • Increase rates gradually as demand grows
  • Offer exclusive content, personal attention, and special perks
  • Give viewers a reason to stay: games, exclusive stories, behind-the-scenes content

2. Private Shows ($10-500/hour)

Private shows are one-on-one sessions with individual viewers. Premium pricing for premium attention.
Viewers request private time with you. You accept, and they’re charged your per-minute rate for exclusive attention.
Private Show Success Tips:
  • Set boundaries upfront about what you will and won’t do
  • Use private shows for your most dedicated supporters
  • Consider time limits to prevent burnout
  • Premium price = premium experience

3. Tips (Instant gratification)

Tips are the simplest way to earn. Viewers send tips to show appreciation, make requests, or just support you.
100% instant: Tips appear in your wallet immediately. No waiting, no minimum payout thresholds.
Maximizing tips:
  • Thank every tipper by name
  • Create tip goals for stream milestones
  • Offer tip-based interactions (song requests, shoutouts, etc.)
  • Show genuine appreciation - it encourages more tipping

4. Subscriptions (Recurring revenue)

Build predictable monthly income with subscriptions. Subscribers pay a monthly fee for perks and access.

Subscriber perks

  • Ad-free viewing
  • Exclusive emotes
  • Subscriber-only streams
  • Priority in chat
  • Special recognition

Pricing strategy

  • Start at $4.99/month

The ascending rate strategy

Start low

Begin with $3-5/hour VIP rate to attract initial audience
2

Build demand

As your VIP sessions fill up, increase by $1-2/hour weekly
3

Find your ceiling

Keep raising until you find the optimal balance of viewers and rate
4

Premium positioning

Once established, position yourself as a premium creator

The funnel approach

Free streams → Occasional VIP → Regular VIP → Private shows → Top subscriber tier
Guide viewers through this journey to maximize lifetime value.

Event monetization

Host special paid events:
  • Birthday celebrations
  • Holiday specials
  • Milestone streams
  • Exclusive premieres
Power move: Announce special events in advance and offer “early bird” VIP rates to build anticipation and guarantee attendance.

Common monetization mistakes to avoid

  1. Starting rates too high - Build audience first, then raise prices
  2. Inconsistent streaming - Regular schedule = regular income
  3. Ignoring small earners - Tips and subscriptions add up significantly
  4. Not engaging with payers - Those who pay deserve extra attention
  5. Burnout from over-streaming - Sustainable pace beats unsustainable sprint
