who it's for

Who AiToEarn is for#

Solo creator

Publishes a single video to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram simultaneously and tracks per-platform earnings from one dashboard.

Small content agency

Self-hosts AiToEarn to manage content calendars for multiple client brands without sharing credentials with third-party SaaS.

Brand marketing team

Sets up performance-based creator tasks paying by engagement, then monitors results without manual spreadsheet tracking.

Developer / AI workflow builder

Integrates AiToEarn via MCP into a Claude Code workflow to automate social publishing as part of a product launch pipeline.

Local business owner

Distributes offline promotion tasks to local creators, paying per verified visit driven by social content.

the problem

The problem it solves#

Creators and small businesses waste hours manually publishing the same content across a dozen platforms, and most influencer marketing platforms take significant cuts while keeping creators in the dark on payout logic. Agencies charge for coordination work that can be automated, and there is no self-hostable option that gives teams full ownership over their creator operations and task pipeline.

how AiToEarn solves it

How it solves it#

Publish to 14+ platforms in one step

TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and more

Earn from brand tasks through three payout models

CPS (per sale), CPE (per engagement), CPM (per 1,000 views)

AI Create agent

Generates video and image content from a brief, calling models like Grok and Veo automatically

Automated Engage agent

Handles likes, follows, comment replies, and brand mention monitoring

MCP protocol

Support lets you drive AiToEarn from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent

Docker self-host

Docker self-host in three commands; runs at http://localhost:8080

strengths · trade-offs

Strengths and trade-offs#

Strengths

  • Self-hostableteams keep full ownership of their creator data and task pipeline without sharing it with a third-party SaaS
  • Covers both sides of creator operations in one toolcross-platform publishing workflow and revenue from brand tasks
  • MCP integration for AI assistantsWorks inside AI assistants via MCP, so agents can trigger publishing actions programmatically as part of a larger workflow
  • MIT licensed with active weekly developmentMIT licensed with active weekly development and multi-language READMEs (Chinese, English, Japanese)

Trade-offs

  • -Chinese-primary documentationPrimary documentation is in Chinese; English docs exist but are less complete than the Chinese originals
  • -Marketplace requires hosted connectivityThe brand-task marketplace and creator payouts route through the hosted aitoearn.ai ecosystem, so fully air-gapped self-hosted installs have limited task discovery
  • -Requires Node.js and Docker familiaritySelf-hosted setup requires Node.js 20.18.x and Docker familiarity; not a one-click consumer install

FAQ#

Does self-hosting disable the monetization marketplace?

Partially. Publishing, scheduling, and cross-platform distribution work fully self-hosted. The brand task marketplace and creator payouts route through the hosted aitoearn.ai platform, so self-hosted installs connect via an API key.

Which platforms are supported for cross-posting?

As of v2.1: TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter/X, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Douyin, Xiaohongshu (Rednote), Kuaishou, Bilibili, and WeChat Video Account (Weishi). That is 14 platforms from a single publish action.

Can I use AiToEarn from inside Claude Code?

Yes. As of v2.1, AiToEarn ships with MCP protocol support. Add it as an MCP server and your Claude session can trigger publish tasks directly without switching to a browser UI.
