How it works

Four steps. Then it runs on its own.

1

Sign in with Google

YouTube confirms the channel is yours. Nobody checks by hand, and we never see your password or post for you.

2

Answer a few questions

Is your video already on pickup? Would you like one featured? Which hobby is yours?

3

Set up payouts

Stripe collects your tax forms and pays you every month, straight to your bank.

4

Get your link

Your own link, a line to paste in your descriptions, and a dashboard with visits, sales and earnings.

Your dashboard

See every sale your video brings in.

Visits to your page, manuals sold, what came through your link and what you've been paid. Live, on your phone or computer.

The fine print, in plain English

Simple, and fair both ways.

We write the manualsYou never have to write or check one. They're always presented as pickup's manuals, never as yours.
Your video stays yoursIt plays from your YouTube channel, with your name and channel link on it. Switch off embedding or ask us, and it comes down.
Say you earn a shareWhen you share your link, the law asks you to say you earn from it. We give you a ready-made line that does it.
Paid every monthThrough Stripe, straight to your bank. Your dashboard shows every sale and every payout.
Leave any timeNo contract to get out of. Final terms come in a short written agreement before your first payout.
