What are Contributor Earnings?

A recipe has many different aspects to it and outstanding recipes take significant research & development to get right. On the Cover Culinary Exchange, recipe details such as Ingredients, Meansurements, and Build Guides for every Professional and Platinum Recipe can only be viewed if a user subscribes to the recipe.

Some users can view high-level 'Recipe Information' which includes data such as 'Menu Fit', 'Style', 'Cuisine', a snippet of the 'Chef Notes', and the Chef's Cover Profile in order to assess whether they would like to subscribe. Eligible users can subscribe to your recipes by clicking on the recipe footer and confirming their subscription in order unlock the full details and add it to their MyCookbook on Cover.

The Contributor Program enables eligible users to earn monetary compensation depending on the "Covers" earned from recipes on a quarterly basis. A "Cover" depends on many factors, such as frequency of contribution, duration of subscriptions, diversity of recipes, and number of recipe subscriptions.
