Creators & studios

Distribute and monetize your short dramas

HiveShorts partners with creators and studios who want real distribution — social media platforms, the HiveShorts App, and B2B buyers — with clear terms, not hype.

The challenge

Getting short dramas in front of audiences is hard

Fragmented channels

Social platforms, app stores and buyers each need different packaging, rights and operations — few creators can cover them alone.

Language and markets

Global reach means localisation, platform policy and territory rights — not just uploading a master file.

Unclear commercial paths

Revenue share and licensing terms are discussed case by case. Final terms are always in a signed contract — never a fixed public offer.

Our channels

Where we distribute

How you earn

Cooperation and monetization — case by case

Revenue share and licensing terms are discussed case by case. Models depend on the title, rights and channels. Nothing here is a guarantee of earnings, payout timing or cash-out.

Revenue share

Revenue share and licensing terms are discussed case by case. Exact percentages, deductions and reporting are set only in the signed agreement.

Licensing options

Territory, platform and term licenses for buyers — fees or minimum guarantees when applicable, always defined in writing.

On inquiry

Share your catalogue and rights scope. We respond with a realistic path (or a clear no) — no guarantee-earnings or cash-out promises.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you guarantee earnings or fast cash-out?

No. We do not promise earnings, ROI or cash-out timelines. Revenue share and licensing terms are discussed case by case and defined in a contract after we review rights and fit.

Must the series be finished?

Finished is preferred. We can review a finished or deliverable sample, but we need a clear path to delivery and rights documentation.

What channels can you distribute on?

Social media platforms, the HiveShorts App, and B2B buyers. Fit depends on rights, language and territory — we confirm case by case.
