Three phases to your first revenue

1. Prepare: Define your niche and style, pre-produce 8–10 posts and get your social channels ready for launch.
2. Set up: Sign up for free, accept the creator agreement, verify your identity and complete your profile with picture, banner and bio.
3. Launch: Set your subscription price, publish your first posts and share your link in your bio and stories.

Finding the right niche

Successful creators have a clear theme – fitness, cosplay, lifestyle, art, coaching or an AI model. Ask yourself: what do fans get from you that they cannot get elsewhere? The clearer the answer, the easier marketing and pricing become.

A profile that wins fans

Your profile is your shop window. These four points decide whether visitors subscribe.

1. Profile picture & banner: High quality, recognisable and consistent with your social channels.
2. A bio with a promise: Say in two sentences what fans get and how often you post.
3. Preview content: A few public posts show your style.
4. A fair entry price: A trial or first-month discount lowers the barrier.

Legal and taxes
