Payouts
When other companies in the NLPearl community use your Pearl in production, you earn $0.01 for every minute of calls handled by that Pearl. The Payouts page lets you:- Securely connect your Stripe account
- Share your Pearls with the community
- Track remixes, likes, and earnings over time
- Connect your Stripe account
- Create a solid, production-ready Pearl
- Share it with the community (name, description, cover, tags)
- Promote it, get users, and earn money every month
1. Connect your Stripe account
Before you can receive payouts, you need to connect your Stripe account.- Go to Payouts in the sidebar.
- Click Connect next to âConnect with your Stripe Accountâ.
- Complete the Stripe onboarding flow:
- Log in or create a Stripe account
- Add your banking details
- Confirm your identity and business information Your banking details are handled by Stripe, not NLPearl. You can disconnect or update your payout settings at any time from Stripe.
2. Create a Pearl worth sharing
To earn from the community, you first need a Pearl that solves a real use case. From the main dashboard:- Create or open a Pearl (e.g. appointment scheduling, payment collection, SaaS sales, hotel reception, etc.).
- Make sure it:
- Has a clear use case (who is it for, and what problem does it solve?)
- Uses the right tools and actions
- Is properly integrated (CRMs, calendars, payment links, APIsâŚ)
- Has scripts or flows that are ready for production Once your Pearl works well in test calls, youâre ready to share it with the community.
3. Share your Pearl with the community
From the Pearlâs Overview page:- Click the ⯠(more) menu in the top-right.
- Select Share to Community. A panel opens with four key fields:
3.1 Public Name
This is the public title of your Pearl â the big text you see on the community cards.- Keep it short, clear, and catchy
- Focus on what the Pearl does, not the full technical explanation Examples:
SaaS Meeting SellerSoft Payment CollectorPizza SliceLineDental Office AppointmentCelest Hotel â Inbound HotelAvoid long sentences like âAI agent that helps youâŚâ that belongs in the description, not in the title.
3.2 Description
The description is very important:- It appears in your Pearlâs detail page
- It is used to generate the cover image
- It helps users instantly understand why your Pearl is useful Write 2â4 short lines that explain:
- What this Pearl does
- For which type of business
- What the main value is Example:
âOutbound Pearl that calls SaaS leads, qualifies them in under 3 minutes, and books meetings directly to your calendar. Perfect for B2B SaaS teams that want consistent daily demos without hiring more SDRs.â Keep it concrete and benefit-driven.
3.3 Pearl Cover (Generate Image)
Under Pearl Cover, click Generate Image.- The system will generate 2 images based on your description
- If you donât like them, you can regenerate once to get new options
- Pick the image that best matches the vibe and use case of your Pearl You donât have to upload anything - the image is created automatically for you.
3.4 Tags
You can add up to 4 tags to help people discover your Pearl. Use tags that describe:- The industry (e.g.
Pizzeria,Hotel,Dental,SaaS) - The function (e.g.
Support,Sales,Payments,Bookings) - The type of calls (e.g.
Inbound,Outbound) Examples: Pizzeria,Inbound,Orders,DeliveryHotel,Reservations,SupportSaaS,Outbound,SalesGood tags dramatically improve search and discovery.
4. How payouts work
Once:- Your Stripe account is connected, and
- Your Pearl is shared with the community, and
- Other users start using your Pearl in production, you earn $0.01 per minute of calls handled by your Pearl. This applies whenever other accounts run real calls through your Pearl (not just internal tests).
Your monthly earnings = Total community minutes Ă $0.01Example calculations
Assume your Pearl is being used in production by multiple businesses:| Monthly minutes (community usage) | Your earnings |
|---|---|
| 10,000 minutes | $100 |
| 100,000 minutes | $1,000 |
| 1,000,000 minutes | $10,000 |
| Concrete scenario: |
- 10 companies each run 1,000 minutes per month with your Pearl
10 Ă 1,000 = 10,000 minutes10,000 Ă $0.01 = $100 / monthfor one Pearl As your Pearl gets remixed and adopted by more teams, this can scale very quickly.
5. Tracking your performance
On the Payouts page, youâll see:- Total Remixed â how many times other users duplicated or reused your Pearl
- Total Likes â how many people liked your Pearl
- Total Earned â how much money youâve earned so far
- A table of all shared Pearls, including:
- Pearl name
- Type (Inbound / Outbound)
- Remixes
- Likes
- Earned Remixes and likes donât directly pay, but theyâre strong signals that your Pearl is valuable, and they usually lead to more real usage.
6. Best practices to maximize payouts
To turn your Pearl into a serious revenue stream, design it so that other people can adopt it easily.6.1 Make it remix-friendly with variables
When building your Pearl:- Use variables for things like company name, opening hours, prices, cities, websites, booking links, support emails, etc.
- Avoid hard-coding information that only fits your business (specific names, addresses, internal team names, very niche jargon)
- Keep the base script universal, and rely on variables + knowledge base to handle customization Examples:
- â Bad: âHi, youâve reached David from NLPearlâŚâ
- â Good: âHi, youâve reached from âŚâ
- â Bad: âWeâre open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.â
- â Good: âWeâre open from .â The more you lean on variables, the easier it is for someone to remix your Pearl for their own use case, which increases your chances of earning payouts.
6.2 Donât overspecify your use case
- Avoid adding too many hyper-specific details that will never match another userâs reality
- Focus on the workflow (e.g. âcollect paymentâ, âbook appointmentâ, âqualify leadâ) instead of a single client story
- If something is unique to your own business, move it into variables or the knowledge base, not hard-coded lines
6.3 Test your Pearl before publishing
Before sharing your Pearl:- Run multiple test calls with different scenarios
- Check that every path in the flow works and no node gets stuck
- Confirm all tools and integrations trigger correctly
- Listen carefully to the audio:
- Does the voice sound natural and clear?
- Are pauses and answers at the right speed?
- Does the conversation feel like a real human interaction? Only publish once youâd be comfortable using this Pearl in your own production.
6.4 Promote your Pearl
To boost your payouts, donât just wait for people to find your Pearl inside NLPearl:- Share your Pearlâs public link on LinkedIn, X, and other social platforms
- Show real call examples (with anonymized data) so people see how it behaves
- Mention that companies can remix it in one click and adapt it with their own variables More visibility â more users â more minutes â higher payouts.
6.5 Keep improving over time
- Watch which Pearls get the most likes, remixes, and minutes
- Update scripts, flows, and integrations as you learn from real usage
- Consider publishing variants of successful Pearls for different verticals (e.g. SaaS, healthcare, hospitality)
By sharing high-quality Pearls with the community, youâre not only helping other businesses launch faster, youâre also building a new recurring revenue stream for yourself, one minute of call time at a time.
