Creator & Earnings Analytics

If you’re part of GolemDrive’s Partner Program, you get access to a full set of earnings analytics on top of the standard download statistics. This is where you can see exactly how much money your files are making, where that revenue comes from, and when you’ll get paid.

All creator analytics live in the Partner Dashboard, which is separate from the main GolemDrive dashboard.

Earnings by file

See which of your files are generating the most revenue. The per-file earnings view shows:

Total earnings for each file (all time or within a date range)
Download count that contributed to those earnings
Effective CPM — the average rate per 1,000 downloads for that file
Ranking — your highest-earning files at a glance

This helps you understand what kind of content resonates with your audience and generates the best return. If one file is earning significantly more than others, it might be worth creating similar content or promoting it further.

Earnings by country

Not all downloads pay the same rate. The geographic revenue breakdown shows you:

Revenue per country — how much you earned from downloaders in each country
Download volume per country — raw download counts by location
CPM rate per country — what each region is paying per 1,000 downloads
Top revenue countries — where your money is actually coming from

This is useful because a country with fewer downloads might still generate more revenue than one with higher volume, depending on the CPM rates. Understanding your geographic mix helps you make informed decisions about where to focus promotion efforts.

Earnings over time

Track how your revenue is trending:

Daily earnings — see day-by-day fluctuations, useful for spotting the impact of a new share or promotion
Weekly earnings — smoother view that shows overall direction
Monthly earnings — the big picture for tracking growth over time

You can compare periods side by side to see if your earnings are growing, steady, or declining.

Performance multiplier

Your performance multiplier is one of the most important numbers in your creator analytics. Here’s how it works:

When people download your files and then sign up for a GolemDrive paid plan, that counts as a conversion
The higher your conversion rate, the higher your performance multiplier
A higher multiplier means better CPM rates on all your downloads

The Partner Dashboard shows:

Current multiplier — your active rate boost
Conversion rate — percentage of your downloaders who became paid users
Multiplier trend — whether your multiplier is going up or down over time

Check this regularly. If your multiplier is climbing, your per-download earnings are increasing even if download volume stays the same.

Referral earnings

If you’ve referred other creators to the Partner Program, you earn a percentage of their earnings. The referral section shows:

Referred partners — how many creators you’ve brought in
Referral earnings — total revenue generated from their activity
Earnings per referral — breakdown by referred creator

This is separate from your direct file earnings and shows up as its own line item in your revenue breakdown.

Transaction detail

For full transparency, you can drill into individual download transactions. Each entry shows:

Field	What it means
Timestamp	When the download happened
File	Which file was downloaded
Country	Where the downloader was located
Device type	Desktop, mobile, or tablet
Base CPM rate	The standard rate for that country and device
Multipliers applied	Performance multiplier, device bonus, large file bonus, etc.
Final earnings	The exact amount you earned from this single download

This level of detail lets you verify exactly how your earnings are calculated. No black boxes.

Payout tracking

The payout section shows the status of your money:

Pending — earnings that have been calculated but haven’t been paid out yet (payouts are processed on a regular schedule)
Completed — payouts that have been sent to your connected account, with dates and amounts
Failed — any payouts that couldn’t be processed (usually due to payment method issues), so you can fix the problem and get paid on the next cycle

Each payout entry includes the amount, the date, and the method (typically via Stripe Connect to your bank account).

Revenue sources breakdown

Your total earnings may come from several sources. The revenue breakdown shows how much comes from each:

CPM earnings — the core revenue from file downloads (typically the largest share)
Tips — one-time payments from fans who appreciate your content
Subscriptions — recurring payments from subscribers to your creator page
Referrals — earnings from creators you referred to the Partner Program

This helps you understand which revenue streams are strongest and where there might be room to grow. If tips are a significant portion, your audience is engaged. If subscriptions are growing, you have a reliable recurring base.

Where to find all this

Everything described on this page is in the Partner Dashboard, which is separate from the main GolemDrive dashboard. Look for the “Partner” or “Creator” link in your sidebar navigation. If you don’t see it, you may need to join the Partner Program first — see How Earnings Work for eligibility details.

Tips for creators

Check your performance multiplier regularly — it directly affects every download’s payout, and small improvements compound over time
Review earnings by country — if a high-CPM country is underrepresented in your downloads, targeted sharing could boost revenue
Watch your transaction detail — understanding which multipliers are being applied helps you optimize (for example, large file bonuses reward bigger content)
Compare revenue sources — if tips or subscriptions are low relative to CPM, consider promoting your creator page or offering subscriber perks
Track payout history — make sure every expected payout shows as completed, and address any failures promptly to avoid payment delays
