Main Features and Benefits

Sales

  • Sell Content, with your fans paying you, direct. So 100% yours.  THIS : WE DO NOT TOUCH THE MONEY. EVER.
  • Very relaxed content rules - UK law, not credit card prudes.
  • Talk freely with fans, we do not record, monitor or limit conversations.
  • Standard paperwork - you have a release? Great. We're not insisting that you use ours.
  • Promote Events, inc Parties and Tours
  • Sell items, from used knickers and shoes (yes, really) to makers with crafted whips and wild fucking machines.
  • In Person Providers can advertise, inc in their content. So, yes, you can introduce a video with, "So guys, you want to see what I do in my North London office? It's this...full BG scene".
  • In Person Providers can list their phone number. No charge.
  • No restrictions re what you show in content - names, socials, web sites
  • Legacy content allowed that other sites won't allow you to upload now

Professional Networking

  • Tag people who are NOT in front of the camera. Give respect to your cameraman, editor, the location etc. This helps them get more work/bookings.
  • See an editor tagged in a scene you like? Quickly see what else they edited, maybe contact them. Same for a location etc.
  • Find people based on criteria, "Performers in Berlin" when planning a trip.
  • Mark available for collabs, (if you are) so that when you suit - e.g. you are a Performer in Berlin who wants to collab with Couples, that Couple planning a trip can find you. Note, you only show up if you specifically opted in to be found.
  • Private Message fellow professionals
  • Multiple levels of relationship - Green Flag the good people, have Friends (industry people you know), and Personal Friends (the ones who will help you bury a body).
  • Group Message your Friends - want to organise something? "Guys, thinking about booking Huge Studio for a content day. Any one interested? If 4 of us chip in and go public we can probably get another 10". You can only include Friends, so can't be spammed by strangers.
  • Forum for discussions that should be remembered and available for longer than a whatsapp group chat.
  • Disaster Recovery - list your socials here, update them when you lose one, Group Message your 568 Friends with your new one, getting your professional life back on track, Email your 12000 followers with your new one getting sales back on track. (Realistic by 2028).

Simple Fee Structure

FREE : It's all FREE for now.

But who are we kidding, yes, in 2027 some aspects become paid services

Professional Networking

Mostly stays free but if you want access to Collabs, to see Green Flags, or the Friends aspect, very affordable charges. 

Sales

If you use our Cloud to deliver Streams, there will be a small fee for Storage and Bandwidth. A fee so small that we give you free credits so you see, with a microscope, just how small it is.

Many people will promote and sell content without ever using our Cloud, and they pay, nothing.

 

Guide Quick Start for Professionals

The site is about networking, collabs, safety, content promotion and sales, and recognising each others work.

Step 1: Fill in the important User account fields

  • Picture: Performers should use their face. Other people, a logo or leave it empty is fine.
  • Industry Bona Fides: If you want the upgrade to Professional, show that you are in the industry.

Once Registered, and told of your upgrade to Professional:-

Click on your Username and you'll see new fields. They are optional, and can be left empty until you are ready to start selling content. 

IF you want to sell content, complete the Payment Instructions, Contact Instructions, and T&C fields. Payment and Contact info is sent to the fan with every order they place via the site.

Step 2: Create Professional Bio

Add Content, Professional Bio.

IMPORTANT: If you like to collab, make sure you complete these fields.

VERY IMPORTANT: Tell everyone you have ever worked with that: 
“I have joined CreatorsUnchained, my username is XXXXXXX, can you tag me in any content I was involved with, and you can do this even with stuff you uploaded already. Friend me too, if you like”.

Step 3: If you want to interact with the public, create a Public Bio

If you offer in person services, you can say so, in general terms such as escort, domination etc, but no detailed service menus. You can link out to a site/page with them on.

You can list a phone number if you wish.

Only Age Verified members of the public can see Bios.

Step 4: Find your people, connect

Menu link: Professionals

It defaults to showing all the Professional members, and allows searching. For the people you know, click their name and you’ll see that you have a bunch of options:

  • Green Flag: People you are happy to recommend to others. They are semi public. Your friends can see that you Green flagged them. They might ask you for a reference.
  • Friend: Someone from whom you have a professionally cordial relationship. They will know you have flagged them. You can Group Mail groups of Friends. Other people can’t see your Friends.
    Friend flags vanish after 30 days if the other person doesn’t reciprocate.
    Note: If you are “Friending people I’d like to work with, my Socials Mutuals, or other less strong than ‘actually know them’”, we suggest you ask them via their socials if it’s OK.
  • Personal Friend: As above, but Actual Friend. In the context of this site, the F and PF distinction is really so that when you want to contact your proper friends, they are there ready sorted. It is absolutely normal that your PF will also be F.
  • Group Mail: Ever wanted to “I’m going to Berlin. I wish I could quickly one shot message my performer contacts who live there to see if they want to collab”. You can now :-)
  • Follow: Follow is for fans. You might do so, but for now, skip.

Step 5: Create Content

Trace

This an industry safety initiative. If you are a performer (or agent) you can create a record of who you have worked with, and when. NO MEDICAL information is even asked for.

If there are any outbreaks, we can give access to the medical team handling it. This means that they will more quickly know if you are in a risk chain, or not.

Entirely voluntary, and only really useful if people use it. If they don’t, will delete. Knowing we tried. Instead of just whinging.

Content Creation Guidelines

  • Physical Goods and Events are easy: If you are a maker, create some ads for your stuff. If you are a party organiser or go on tours, create Events.
  • Streams (i.e. video) is, unavoidably, more complex: For now, start with SignPosting. This is where you create Streams that point to your content on other sites. It means that you can do the tagging (and give love to the non-performers and locations) and quickly build a library of material for fans so they can find your content, no matter where it is. Do review the Content Rules first, and if signposting, do not mention (in descriptions for signposting) anything that we do not allow. Do not include (Download and Cloud) barred content. 
  • Once you have done a few Signposting, look at the Download and Cloud options. To use the Cloud, we need to set up a Library for you, but you can try it with our Test Cloud.

Ask for access to our Test Cloud when ready to try it. Note: Test Cloud is wiped every month. If you like it, we set up your own Cloud, and away you go :-)

 

User Accounts - Deep Dive

Most people only need one. 

If you need more than one, you can. 

They can share an email address. 

Who needs multiple accounts? 

People who need clear blue water between their various public and professional roles. 

I am a Creator, a Video Cameraman, and an Editor. One user account is fine. 

If I was a Creator, owned a Location that I rented out for shoots, and also crafted Kink Gear, I might choose to do that all under one user, or, if I had a web site for the location, and another for the Kink Gear, I might want three accounts. 

If multiple people might use your account, you probably need multiple accounts. 

E.g. one account for you as a Creator who owns a location, and a second for the Kink Gear shop as you do that with a maker partner and they will be logging in to post new items etc. 

To have Multiple Accounts you must be on a paid tier. You only need to pay for one account. 

Share one email or not? 

If YOU are running all the accounts, sharing is easier. 

If someone else is involved, e.g. your Kink Shop, use a different email for that. 

Agents 

If you an Agent you can’t set up accounts for all your talent (so you can’t pretend to be them) BUT you CAN create listings and content for them, so you can represent them. 

Ask to become an Enhanced Agent. 

No specific fee but we do need you to buy a banner for 3 months, and we will expect you to use create Traces for every shoot your talent are involved in.

Content Rules (read before posting Streams of any type) - Deep Dive

NSFW Content Rules (Uk law, plus useful lines in the sand)

Our limits are the ones in law. In some cases that law is tighter than say the USA, and in other cases it's more relaxed. Some areas we are careful with as the boundaries are currently ill defined. 

You know how people say “I don’t make the rules”, when they absolutely are. In this case, we don’t make the rules, often the rules are a bit vague, and, fact of life, edge cases are always disputed but bottom line, we are liable for everything on the site, so that’s what we are thinking about.

Some of these rules could be relaxed if we physically moved to live in a more relaxed country, (server and cloud locations are irrelevant) . FYI that becomes doable at around 2000 people on Gold / Silver tiers. 

So :-

Overview : no CSAM and nothing that, if copied by a foolish civilian, could result in serious harm to them. This can be obvious - no proper looking violence, limits on CP, and can be "but why?", such no blood (biohazard).

FAKING IT WITH PROPS AND MAKEUP : Sadly not a way around things if your aim is realism. (Because an idiot might think it's real). IS OK when over the top and obviously faking up for effect. So, whipping to seem to break skin and leak blood, no. Remaking Monty Python's Black Knight, fine. TBH, in adult, by the time you are safe, you’re sploshing.

Legacy Content (poor paperwork) : Some content we will allow when it's creation predates modern paperwork rules. If you are a long established creator with a library of legacy content (and the kind of records that applied at the time) talk to us. In general we’ll want to verify that the people in it were in the porn industry at the time. 

We will expect it to be added to the Cloud shortly after you join. This allows us to have the defence that "our processes are designed to prevent people creating new material under old rules”.

Banned Words List :-

We don't have one.

BDSM : nothing that cuts the skin, max damage to be bruising that clears in a few days. 

Performers must have ability to withdraw consent. If they can talk, that suffices. If they can't talk, and are restrained, you must, during the intro, establish TO THE AUDIENCE how consent can be withdrawn during the shoot. This must be a clear, obvious, unmissable communication, "blink twice" does not suffice, but "start shaking your head vigorously" might.

Rope : No throat ropes that involve restraint. Clearly decorative is OK, but, that’s a high bar to pass in any form of rope restraint. Note, where the context is clearly a performance by experts, more relaxed. So yes, a scene where “Jack and Jill shibari display in a club” can pass, but the same thing presented as “I tied up my GF”, doesn’t. 

CNC : Consensual Non Consensual. It must be clear that it is is consented. E.g. have an intro where the victim explains the rules – esp the safety aspects - and the safe word/action to all involved.

CP : Nothing harder than bruises that will heal in a few days.

Smothering : Woman on Partner. Allowed so long as clearly not dangerous.

Breath Play and Auto asphyxiation : No. It really does tick the "copycats can come to serious harm" box.

Pee : Not in mouth or on a person. No drinking. (This is an unclear quirk of UK law. We hope to allow more pissing freedom once our revenues can support the legal fees involved).

Squirting : During sex as something just happens within a long scene is fine. But you can’t fetish it. “Great scene and OMG she squirted”, fine. “Compilation of squirting”, no.

Scat : No.

Choking/Strangulation : Not Allowed. Law. (New law, waiting to see where limits are drawn, but assume that pressure on throat or any sign of discomfort will always be banned even if lighter is allowed). For now, a one handed grab/press to the back or side control move is OK, but two hands? Cut. One hand but to the front, cut. Windpipes are fragile.

Animals : Obviously no animals to be involved in the scene, but if you are out in the country and there are horses, sheep in next field, OK. Your pet dog breaking into the bedroom and, er, giving kisses, yes it's very funny. But it's not making the edit.

Harm to other beings : Not allowed. (There are some sick fuckers).

Revenge and Deepfake Porn : Not Allowed. And we WILL help the police.

Insertions : Must be designed to be inserted, safe and hygienic in nature so safe, or adjusted to be so. Size must be dick size. A cucumber is not to be inserted. A cucumber with a condom, is fine. A glass bottle, or indeed a glass, NO. (Imagine it breaks....).

Fisting : It must be clear that the fist fits, is open style (not closed) and is welcome in. Not be aggressive. 

Young Looking Performers : Do not dress them younger than they look - clothes, hair, set. Make it clear in the video that they are 18+. "So, how old are you?...". Avoid language like schoolgirl. If you wave their ID at the camera, TOTALLY REDACT EVERYTHING other than their photo and DOB.

Older Performers Dressing Young : Allowed. The Uk has a grand, if silly, tradition of fully grown women running around dressed as Sixth Formers. This is allowed. We require them to be 22+ (not law, just us, but we can see a test case coming and don't want to be it).

Adult Baby : Allowed. Ok, allowed so long as you don't play stupid fuckers with AI. It's 2026, we have to write this stuff.

Smoking : Allowed.

Alcohol : Allowed in terms of set up etc, "Happy Birthday", but volume drinking, shot races and drunkenness is not allowed. 

It should not be suggested that the sex happens because of the drinking, or that the drink makes the sex better. 

Weed and drugs: Not allowed. 

Guns : Allowed. So long as not in a violent way. Hot girl target shooting gets turned on and fucks the instructor? Fine. Sadist runs his pistol up the thigh of his victim, NOT.

Weapons : Allowed, but as guns. Zorro vs Catherine Zeta Brown sparing with swords then falling into bed, fine. Housebreaker holds a knife to her throat and fucks her, NOT.

Real Escorts : Allowed but no money or service details. You can post your porn and in the description, say you are an escort and link out to wherever people can book you. You can’t say, “Meet Pete, who has come over for my $100 30 mins special”.

Hypnosis : Allowed. Pre and post shoot consent to be included at the end of the scene. Legacy allowed.

Sleeping Beauty : Allowed, pre and post shoot consent as Hypnosis. Legacy allowed.

Slaves : Showing people being bought, sold, traded, auctioned, or ransomed. Allowed. Pre and post consent BTS. Legacy allowed.

Masked Performers : Allowed BUT you must record a face out BTS of everyone giving consent. We may need to see it, but obviously, you don't need to include in the scene. Legacy where this is missing, allowed.

Exhibitionism in Public Places : Allowed if lawfully produced. We will assist the police if they contact us. 

    UK :  It's essentially impossible in an urban environment. In a rural environment you need a Location Release from the landowner stating the shoot was not visible from any adjoining property or right of way. Or it is clear that the location was very secluded - cave, deep woods.

    Elsewhere: We will accept your formal statement re legality in countries where we think it might be true, (so, Cz, maybe. Asia, nope). But you must blur passers by for whom you do not have paperwork.

    Audience of the public in a private location : Allowed, done right. Example, fucking in a nightclub as people watch. You must provide proof that everyone in the space must have been aware that it was being filmed and published. Ideally individual consent, but a video showing the BLOODY HUGE SIGNS saying, "Porn being filmed in this room. If you enter you should EXPECT to be filmed, and your face will NOT be blurred. The film WILL BE PUBLISHED" will suffice for our purposes. EVEN SO, blur all faces of those not individually consented. 

Consent Revocation : Allowed. If someone in a video asks for it to be taken down, we will. That you might have a contract with them, that they are now in breach of, is between you and them.

Cosplay : Allowed, even bad taste things like Nazis*. HOWEVER avoid any serious (i.e. really well done you'd think it was really them)  cosplaying of corporately controlled characters. 

NO CHILD/TWEEN coded characters. Snow White is NOT getting fucked by any Prince, no matter how charming.

*Nazis getting pegged, is not bad taste. Merely historically accurate. 

Furries : Allowed. So long clearly furries, (so no fucking with AI).

AI : Allowed, if tagged properly. Note that we do take down if someone complains that they are shown in it, (see Consent Revocation).

 

Censorship Resistance and Financial Resilience - Deep Dive

How much are we pissed off by :-

  • Platforms that limit what content you can post to a greater degree than the law requires. Credit Card companies will only get tighter. Even the relaxed platforms will probably have the crews turned on them.
  • Platforms that monitor and control how you chat to your people.
  • Platforms that decide how and when you get paid. That platforms ever convinced creators that they should hold their money and pay out as and when they could be arsed, is, one of the world's odder accidents of history.
  • Platforms that report your income to the tax office.
  • Platforms that add taxes on what they charge to fans, that you wouldn't have to add if you dealt direct. E.g VAT.
  • Payment systems and banks that really hate us.

So, NO CARDS

No Cards means we are not controlled by their prudeishness.

You can sell any UK legal content or service.

Note : if you sell something is legal in the Uk, but not where you are, be aware of the risk you are running.

So, WE DO NOT TOUCH YOUR MONEY

This means that we do not have to add taxes to sales, and cannot report your earnings to the tax man.

So, WE KEEP OUT OF YOUR CONVERSATIONS

They are none of our business.

How we work

You sell Direct to your fans, Content, Goods, Services, using whatever payment system you like, (see Payment Systems).

You talk direct to your fans using whatever systems you like.

Doing it through CU means you know people are Age Verified.

Green Flags, Friends, and Personal Friends - Deep Dive

Flags are a key part of the professional development and networking.

Us Creators all need to find new people to work with, places to shoot etc, but it’s always hard to just reach out cold.

One way flags are pale, Mutual flags are bright.

Numbers on flags mean :-

Green Flags: The number represents the exact total count of people who have planted a Green Flag on that specific user. 
Light Blue Flags (Friend Network): The number represents the total count of all the "Friend" flags that have been placed on that user by anyone. (As Light Blue flags are temporary this isn’t actually a useful number).
Dark Blue Flags (Shared Mutuals): The number represents the count of people that you and the target user are both strict mutual friends with (the overlap of both of your mutual friend networks).  A relatively high number means you have a LOT of people in common. Great for starting to organise collabs or events.
My Flags page for the overview

Personal Friend Orange : Your real, actual proper personal friends.

When you mark someone like this they get notified that there is a request for them to accept or reject.

Rejection hurts so generally, give them a heads up before asking, “can I mark you as a Personal Friend” on CreatorsUnchained?

Requests that are not responded to within 30 days, are deleted.

Group Message for Mutuals : You can do things like message the “12 people who are Mutuals in Cz” because I want to plan a collabs trip, and can plan around who of them is up for it.

Friend Blue : Flag as Friends your industry colleagues and acquaintances.

Let them know you have done so. They need to reciprocate within 30 days or the flag dies.

A Mutual Friend is when you Friend each other.

Group Message as Personal friends.

When you are upgraded to Professional, you are automatically Mutually Friended to PaulJonesAIR, owner of the site. You can unfriend him, he won’t take it personally.

Green Flag : Someone you consider to be a good solid professional. In general, you have used their services, worked with them, or maybe, known them online for long enough to respect and trust them.

Your Friends will be able to see who you have Green Flagged, so, if you shoot in a location and it’s good, Green Flag it, and your Friends will see the Flag on the location’s profile and most searches.

Expect your Friends to ask you about them if they consider working with them.

The official, “who can see Green Flags”:-

   • You are the Flagee (The Target): You are the person who received the Green Flag.
   • You are the Flagger: You are the person who originally planted the Green Flag.
   • You have Friended the Flagger: You have placed a "Friend" flag on the person who planted the Green Flag.
   • The Flagger has Friended you: The person who planted the Green Flag has placed a "Friend" flag on you.


Follow

If you follow someone you’ll get an email when they add content.


Red Flag : no Red Flags. Under the law if we allow Red Flags, and we get GDPR requests, they get to see all the details and who said what. As you can imagine, that would be a complete nightmare for all involved.

 

ADMIN SET FLAGS

Diamond : LIFETIME Member : GREAT VALUE BTW

Ruby : Founder (paid for Professional Tier during the Beta and Launch period) : YOU WANT THIS, GREAT VALUE

Gold and Silver : Paying Tier members.

Trace - Deep Dive

So, we had a Syphilis scare in the Industry and shut down for weeks.

Some people lost thousands of booked work. 

USA has a tracking system run by their labs, but Europe, does not. 

People have talked for years about setting something up. No one has. It’s complicated and full of legal issues. And Creators are not willing to pay for it. 

So, here is a next best option. One that avoids holding any medical information, but will allow you to be traced if you in any potential infection chains. 

Simple, so simple 

Every time you shoot, you create a Trace. 

Date of shoot, who you worked with in a sexually risky way. 

IF there is an outbreak, whichever medical professionals are doing tracing, can have access to this and very quickly see if YOU are at risk. 

IMPORTANT DATA DELETION NOTE : TRACEs are automatically deleted when 4 months old. This may change if I am advised to do so by medical experts who tell me that some conditions may need to go back further.  

Example : Direct Contact 

14 July you do a scene with Bob and Jane. It’s basically a Bob and Jane BG scene, but you are in at the start with a double BJ. 

Bob is positive 1 August. 

Clinic decides anyone he worked with back to 1 July, needs to be traced and tested. 

Clinic Staffer Chris calls Bob and asks who he worked with. Bob mentions Jane. Not you. You were only in for 5 mins and didn’t fuck him, and he worked with so many girls that month. 

Clinic Staffer Robin calls us for access to Trace. “Show ALL TRACEs in July where Bob is listed”. You come up. You can contacted and tested and treated. NOW! 

Example : Contact of Contact 

They might want to trace contacts of contacts. 

12 July Bob worked with Sue. 

25th July YOU work with Sue and Jim. 

You can be warned because the Clinic Staffer has got a list of Bob’s contacts (from his interview, and Trace), and then asks Trace “find all people THIS PERSON has worked with” for all Bob’s contacts. When they do Sue, you come up. You can contacted and tested and treated. NOW! 

Needs Industry Buy In 

Trace really only works if it captures a lot of the shoots. 

Ideally I’d like the main Agents to start doing it as standard for any shoot their talent goes on, and for people to start doing it individually for collabs. 

That perhaps you, your agent, the other talent ALL end up up creating a Trace for the same shoot, is fine. Better to have 3 than none, (because you forgot, and no one else did it either). 

Ask your agent to talk to me.


 

Physical Goods - Deep Dive

You can sell any items legal to own and send, and that you package appropriately.

We have a blanket ban on weapons, be they blunted or replica. The legalities are too complex for us to get tied up in.

We do not allow the sale of magazines, DVDs etc that might breach porn laws. This mainly affects certain Japanese materials such as Lolicon and Shotacon, Little Idols, and some vintage European porn which would now be illegal to make. Selling your classic Playboys and Penthouses, no problem.

Commercial Sellers we divide into TWO types, Makers and Retailers. If you are one:-

We support our independent craftspeople and specialist retailers.

DO NOT post standard sex shop items easily available by retail or mail order. People know where to get that. They want unique, rare, or genuinely interesting short run items.

Monitor your ads. If you run out of an IN STOCK item (and are not making it to order), remove the ad. 

Makers : You can list anything you have made, and have in stock, or that you will make to order. Do not duplicate. If you have three St Andrews Crosses in plain wood, just one St Andrews Cross post. If one wood, one with red leather, one with black, you can have three listings.

List as IN STOCK or MADE TO ORDER.

Retail : You are selling things made by others. Example, you are a sex shop but have contacts with craft toy makers in China who you commission to provide short runs of special designs for you. Or you have a local furniture maker who isn't plugged into the market as a maker, but is happy to take orders from you.

List as IN STOCK or MADE TO ORDER

Do not list routine items.

TIP : When adding images, you need to click the button to force the upload. 

Title : Essential 

Age Gate : If it’s an adult item, yes. 

Banner : If you supply both, Age Verified people will only see the NSFW one, everyone else sees the SFW. 

Seller Status : Required 

Price : 

Photo Gallery : First one is appears in searches. 

Description : Describe it, delivery rules/conditions, and how you want to get paid. People shouldn’t have to ask any questions. 

Good Practice to ALWAYS say something like , “Price includes Post and Packing in my country. If you want me to even find out what it will cost to send to you, or even if it’s legal to do so, send a $10 gift. Be advised that in these tariff mad times any item might be stopped at the border for customs or they don’t like the paperwork, and you might not get it, and there will NOT be a refund”. That should head the timewasters off before they start asking questions.

Country :  

City/Locality : Only relevant if they need to collect in person. And even then, keep it vague region or big city only. 

Item : One word, maybe two.

Events - Deep Dive

This can be used for events for adult only, and for wider age ranges. 

TIP : When adding images, you need to click the button to force the upload. 

Title : Essential

Age Gate : If it’s an 18+ Event re who can attend, “Yes, HIDE”. 

Banner : If you supply both, Age Verified people will only see the NSFW one, everyone else sees the SFW. 

Promo Image : Your poster 

Event Type 

  • Conference : Any kind event where the chat is business oriented, even if no formal panels etc.
  • Content Event : Collabs where you want more people. You can post these even if full, so that people become aware that you organise them.
  • Industry Informal : Example, “Going to be London for Certs, meet for coffee”.
  • Party : Yes, gangbangs allowed
  • Tour : Yes, escorts going on tour allowed.
     

When : Multiday event? Tick ALL DAY and a second calender will appear for you to list the last date. 

Body : Description 

Country : 

City / Locality : 

Featured People : If someone involved is a Site Member and you have their permission, tag them here. You can add people as things go on. Example, Panel Members, people who have paid for a collab event. 

Members Self Tagging : Ignore (but if you want to lay down rules for self tagging, say so in the Body. E.g. “don’t tag yourself UNLESS you are 100% sure”). You CAN remove people who tag themselves inappropriately.


 

Video Content : Stream Overview - Deep Dive

This is a general purpose Content Type that delivers content in THREE ways. 

Signposting : Point people at your scenes on OTHER PLATFORMS 

This is really useful because CreatorsUnchained becomes central point where ALL your content can be listed, no matter what platform it sell on. 

Reality is that if a fan already buys content from Sheer/OF/MV, and wants to use their card, they want to buy on those platforms. At least for now... 

Download : Allow people to download your highest quality files from your own online storage, e.g. Dropbox, while knowing that they have age verified. 

You can decide how people access the download – a simple link, or “send your email to be granted access”. Your business, your way. 

Stream : Use our Cloud to store and deliver streamed content. 

A single Stream Node can use ALL of these, but mostly they combine Signposting with either a Download or a Stream. 

A Download or Stream only if the content isn’t available anywhere else. 

So you end up with :- 

Content you have on other Platforms – Signposted but also Download or Stream to get paid direct.”Guys, you can buy elsewhere, but support me here so I get the money, no platform commission”. 

Content NOT on other platforms, is here because, “Too hardcore for the platforms, EXCLUSIVE to CreatorsUnchained”, as either a Download or Stream. 

Content Rules 

Very chill, but see the detailed section. 

Because we can mix SFW with NSFW, a rule:- 

SFW promotional material for NSFW content or even SFW content if you have any NSFW material or industry connection. Keep “in image/video” titles basic. No URLS other than social media/platform links. No emails. No Phone numbers.

NSFW promotional material can have any text you like. 

How it works – what goes where

Thumbnails, Trailers and Loops are all optional, but clearly, you really want Thumbs:-) 

Thumbnails are stored on our server. 

ALL content can have visible thumbnails even if you don’t use our Cloud. 

Trailers are stored in our Cloud. Only Cloud users can include Trailers. 

You need to create your own Trailers. 

Loops (the little videos that play when you mouse over a grid of results) are stored in our Cloud. Only Cloud Users can include Loops. 

You need to create your own Loops. 

Scenes are stored in our Cloud, or your own service (like Dropbox), or on other platforms, to which you will send buyers. 

Using the Cloud (optional) 

Try using our Test Cloud. Ask us to set up the credentials for you, create a few Streams to see how it works. When happy, ask us to set up your own. NOTE Test Cloud is just for trying it. We wipe it on a regular basis and that will break the Streams,(which we might delete as well). 

All Professionals get an initial FREE Credit for your Cloud. You soon see that it’s really bloody good value :-) 

You can upload Trailers and Scenes to our Cloud direct from your own Dropbox etc if you wish. This means you don’t have to wait for huge files to upload from your computer. 

See Advanced Cloud to get into the technical weeds. 

You don’t have to use the Cloud. 

You can make all the Signposting content you want, with a Thumbnail and links out. And have all the other professional site features – Collabs, Events, selling Content and Items, Green Flags etc. 

But try it, that’s why we give you free credits. 

Minimal Cloud Use 

Use it for Trailers and Loops. 

Render Trailers at 720p using a YouTube render setting. 

Loops 720x480 at 2Mbs and NO AUDIO. They only show on the grid layout pages so minimal file size is the key – for fast loading, and, bonus, keeps costs down. 

Standard Cloud 

Up to 720p (HD) at 2.8Mbs 

The ideal balance between cost and quality for most users. 

You can upload bigger files, the system knocks them down to size. 

If you are rendering, pick the 720 YouTube render. 

The standard starting position. 

We set it up for you. 

High Quality Cloud 

If you decide you need it, you can select higher levels such as 1080 at 5Mbs, 1440 at 8Mbs, or 2160 at 25Mbs and Original File. 

But the bigger the files, the bigger the cost, so, wait until you know you need it. In fact we strongly advise AGAINST starting above 1080. 

Suggest that you render a scene at both 720 and 2.8Mbs and 1080 and 5Mbs 

If you have a market for very big high quality files (1440+ max bitrate), using your own online storage and selling as Downloads will be cheaper. 

Giving People due Credit 

You can give proper credit to EVERYONE involved. 

Where they are site members, this also helps people network, esp those who are off camera. 

This is what the Tagging is about. 

Problems and Trouble shooting 

This will probably expand over time, and as we discover technologies inevitable niggles. 

Video plays but quality is poor – seems stuck on a low setting like 240p 

It is normal for streams to start low quality then pick up as the connection strength is established. 

A 240p stream is a stream, the user knows it’s working, and then quickly improves. Better than a frozen screen and spinning icon.

Maxxing out should be, ideally, either the max quality you have your Library set up for. But if the net is congested, esp your local one (often the case on mobile), lower happens. 

It is NOT normal for streams to be stuck at very low levels like 240 or 360, esp if you try next day and still have the same issue AND there are no status issues re your Internet provider. 

If the stuck stream is fine if you manually push the quality up (in your browser, a setting in the video display field) , there has been an issue in building the stream syncing that lets it climb the quality to the maximum sustainable for the connection. 

Solution : Edit the Stream and reupload the video, or (if you pulled the video from your storage into our Cloud) repaste the URL to pull from your storage.

Signposting your Content on other Platforms - Deep Dive

How to point people at all your scenes on other platforms, and/or tell them to buy direct from you off site. 

Yes, you can tell people where they can buy each and every scene, whether it’s on OnlyFans, Manyvids or any other. 

You can tell people to ask you for the Dropbox etc. 

In these days where different scenes are on different platforms, paying you different money, this is useful for your fans. 

Bring them to CreatorsUnchained, then they bounce to where you have it for sale. 

This use means that most of the fields are irrelevant and can be skipped. 

FYI The Stream content supports linking out (this), selling downloads direct from your Dropbox or other storage, and, of course, people using our Cloud. So, you can skip a lot of fields.

 

Prep, basic 

You just need a NSFW Thumbnail. 

Prep, assuming NSFW 

Ideally, have a SFW Thumbnail, NSFW Thumbnail. 

A NSFW and SFW Banner is good for your branding. Make one, use it on everything. Worth doing. 

Loops and Trailers you can’t use unless you are a CU Cloud user. 

The rest is the usual – the link, who is in it, plus the ability to share social media links and do the same for non performers who might have helped, and would like the boost.

TIP : When adding images, you need to click the button to force the upload.
 

Process

ESSENTIAL parts are highlighted for maximum speed
 

Add Content : Stream 

SFW Title : Required 

NSFW Title : Optional. Will be shown instead of the SFW one to people able to see NSFW material. i.e. Age Verified people. 

Age Gate This? – required 

Only select NO if your content is entirely SFW. 

Yes, and hide : Use where you only have a NSFW thumb. 

Yes, and show : Use if you have a SFW thumb. 

Description : Everyone sees this. The rules re age verification are focussed on images, but keep it sane. A simple, functional, description.

Price : Required. Suggest 0. Everyone understands that it won’t be free. OR, if you are telling people “contact me for my Dropbox” put a price here or in the description.
 

SFW Block 

You can safely ignore these, shown for information.

SFW Banner : Optional. Puts your brand on the page. 

SFW Thumbnail : Optional, but needed if you chose Age Gate No, or Yes and show.

Link Text is usually the Platform name.  

So, Profile URL at Platform Name. 

Add another item – i.e. Platform - as needed. 

We suggest you list all the platforms where the scene can be found. People will tend to bounce to the one where they already have an account.  

Tags

All standard stuff, but we also let you give your collaborators (performers and others) social media as well. 

Spread the love :-)

 

Tagging Site Members 

Similar but it only applies to Site Members, and is used in the back end to give credit where due. If later your cameraperson goes away, you might want a new one. Imagine that Mary lives in the same city and has been tagged as Cameraperson in a bunch of videos. You would see her work, be impressed, drop her line.
 

VR and AI 

Ignore unless relevant. 

Performers Paperwork 

As you are linking out to external platforms or asking people to contact you direct, and not selling the actual content here, IGNORE 

Archive Block : Ignore. Only applies to paywalled content.

OneDrive : click SHARE, then in link settings select "Anyone with the link". View only is fine.

See FAQs for other online Storage.
 

The link goes in the URL, the Text is whatever you want. “Download File” works. They already know what it is, that’s why they are here.

Performers Paperwork 

Are they SITE MEMBERS? 

Ask them. If they are, make sure you TAGGED them in “Tagging Site Members”, just put their Username in, scroll down to Add Performer, and repeat until all Tagged. 

Hint : if they are NOT Site Members, ask them to join. They can be TAGGED even on the free tier. This saves you the trouble of posting actual paperwork.

If they are not Site Members, are not joining any time soon, do the paperwork. ONLY the ID and Mickey Mouse are needed. Releases you can add, but no problem if not. Though you need to have it as our audit may request it later.
 

Performer Scene Notes : If you have a lack of paperwork problem, it’s not the end of the world. Explain, and we’ll see what we can do. It will always involve them somehow confirming that they were of age and consenting, and, since we’re asking, STILL consenting, so you will need to have their contact info so that WE can do the asking. “Hi, I asked Jane, she said it’s cool” isn’t compliant. Us asking Jane, is :-)

IF you are settled in and adding freshly made content, pick the current month.

Selling Streams - Deep Dive

How to sell using our Cloud 

This use means that some of the fields are irrelevant and can be skipped, and some you have a choice. 

For example, if you have a Main or Trailer on your Dropbox, you can use that via the URL route and not have to upload one to the Cloud. 

Saves you a LOT of time compared to uploading them.

Dropbox : create a Share link where anyone with the link can view.
Google Drive : create a Google Drive link with permissions to view for  "Anyone with the link"
OneDrive : click SHARE, then in link settings select "Anyone with the link". View only is fine.
Box : create a download link for public files
BackBlaze : creates standard links, should be fine.
pCloud : if you have your file in the Public Folder feature (paid feature), the file link should be perfect, no further settings to be picked.
iCloud : it's Apple, of course they don't allow you to grant access to other Clouds.
WeTransfer : it's not online storage
SwissTransfer : it's not online storage
Proton Drive : encrypted, can't use.
Mega : encrypted, can't use.
 

Prep, basic 

You just need a NSFW Thumbnail.

Subscribers - Deep Dive

Subscribers are people who have Subscribed to YOU.
 

They get access to all your new Stream Content – Cloud and Download.
 

They get access to everything in the Archive Block for the month that they join.
 

They get access to more Archive Blocks as each month passes.
 

If they join in Feb 2028, they get Feb 2028 content, all new content and in March, the March 2027 archive opens up for them.
 

This means that they can’t “hit and run” by signing up for a short time and binging everything.
 

We are not automating because of our need to keep it clear that it’s YOUR business that you control, not us.
 

Set up a Subscription

Open your Account and enter the name of the new Subscriber.
 

Keep a good record
 

For subscribers, you need to maintain a spreadsheet of who has subscribed, for how long they have paid, and monitor their payments so that you don't give stuff away.


 

Giving Subscribers More
 

Example : User has sent you $100 for a year’s access, so you want to give them access to everything. 

In your Dashboard is “Manage Subscribers”
 

You can grant individual Subscribers access to additional Archive Blocks if you wish.
 

Setting a subscription end date
 

If they have taken up a fixed term subscription, set the end date, and set which option (below) applies. 

If they have set up regular payments, DO NOT set an end date. But do monitor your incoming money. No one will tell you they are cancelling, they wait for you to notice. (However, more people forget to cancel, so, regular payments are great). 

IF you let someone have a regular payment, INSIST that they use a payment method that does this until they stop. Monitoring your bank statement from incoming Standing Orders is easy. Monitoring a gifting platform, not so much. WARNING : don’t do this on a Personal Account. Lots of regular incoming payments is a red flag to your bank that you might be running a business on a Personal Account, in a debanking level T&C breach.


  

Cancelling Subscribers

Option 1 : Remove their name from the list in your User area.
 

This means they KEEP ACCESS to everything they have access to, but not any future content. Also not any Archive Blocks that they don’t already have access to. 

We actually don’t let you do this because it enables freeloading.
 

Option 2 : Purge them and remove their access to everything.
 

Option 3 : Default. It’s Option 1, with a default date of the end of the next month. So “name removed Jan15th, purge last day Feb”. The Creator can amend this date on a per subscriber basis. (If they promised to pay monthly, and only did so for one month, a creator might well be pissed and just nuke).
 

Marketing benefit : Creator can message all those who are in Option 3 status and tell them they need to send money before they lose access to the content.

Articles - Deep Dive

Create an Article when you need to write something, treat as a Blog post.
 

Can be used for anything, but the main thing is that people who FOLLOW you, will get a message to the effect that you have written something, with a link.
 

Key use would be if you updated a Content Post, “The Kitchen Scene is now available DIRECT FROM ME on CreatorsUnchained”, because you added your Download or our Cloud to it, when previously it was only Signposted.

Advanced Cloud - Deep Dive

All Streaming services take in the uploaded file, transcode it into various Streams, each at a fixed bitrate, and then they send the one the Browser requests, the best one for the current state of the connection between the server and the browser. 

The good ones (we use a good one) also duplicate the content across the world, so that hopefully there is always a good connection to the browser.
 

It starts slow at say 240, then ramps up. This way the user knows it’s working, because a “poor” video is a better UI than a spinning wheel while waiting for a better connection.
 

The important thing is to render at a HIGHER rate than the best stream that will be made from it.
 

Adult tube sites really squash the bitrate. They will tell you 720, 1080 or 1440, but it means very little.
 

They need to minimise both storage and bandwidth to save money, and figure most viewers are on a phone or laptop.
 

High end streaming – Cable etc – have high bitrates to keep big screens happy.
 

YouTube, is in the middle. About as good as you can get on the open Internet.
 

Our Cloud sits above the Tubes and a bit below YouTube. Perfectly acceptable quality, at 720. 1080 if you fuss.
 

We use a Cloud that optimises quality for the Internet as it really is.
 

Which means that while a stream of 720 or 1080 is likely be received at that quality by the browser, 1440 and 2160 are often mere theoretical bests, rarely achieved in practice.


 

Rendering for our Cloud
 

If you use a YouTube render setting in your editor, that’s perfect.


 

Uploads 

If your Cloud is set to max at 720 and upload a better file, it will simply store the 720 version. 

If your Cloud is set to 720 and you upload a smaller file – archive SD content for example – it will only store up to the resolution you uploaded. 

This minimises costs.


 

Typical Initial Cloud settings


 

Max resolution 720p at 2.8Mbs. 

You can pick 1080p at 5Mbs and we won’t argue. It does put your costs up, but from very low to very reasonable, so we don’t argue. 

Above that (only needed for big screens) we advise against, until you have used the system a while and have a handle on it and your business. 2160 can have you paying 10x what 720 costs in storage and while that’s great if lots of your customers will pay for that, leave until you are sure they will. 

Keep Original File? No 

There is an option to keep the Original File. If you do, it means you can offer Download using our Cloud. BUT again, it puts the costs up by about 50%, more if your Original File is higher quality. 

Our view – we advise AGAINST keeping the Original File. If you have a market for high quality files you are probably already selling via Dropbox or other. 

That said making the sale inside CreatorsUnchained (i.e. as a Download type Stream) keeps you Age Verified, no matter where you deliver the file from. 

The Quality Ratchet 

Our Cloud Provider allows you to go UP in quality – e.g. from 720 to 1080, but going DOWN is harder. You cannot reduce the settings. You need to reupload any high quality scenes with lower quality replacements. This will be a PITA if you are at 100, or even 50, scenes.. 

This is why we suggest starting at the lower end. 

This is a policy decision of theirs. We have no idea if it’s a financial policy or if there is a technical constraint (people going up and down forcing the re-render of entire libraries on a whim is an overhead they want to avoid). It just is what it is, we live with it.

 

Cloud Pricing - Deep Dive

TOTALLY OPTIONAL

You do not need to use the Cloud at all. But if you do, very simple charging model:-
 

Each month : 9c per GB stored, 9c per GB delivered.
 

But, WTF does that really mean in $ terms? 

Bloody Great Value basically. This is why we give you free credits so you can see what it costs, depending how you want to use it.
 

I did an experiment :- 

A 20+min 720P scene was 1.6GB rendered. 1GB stored after transcoding, with the actual 720 stream being 400MB (the rest of the storage are the lower resolutions needed for when the Internet can’t take the full 720). 

So, 100 such scenes would be $9pm in storage. 

  • Sell ONE SCENE, ONCE for $10, and the bandwidth would be 4c, so, sell one scene a month, 96c profit. 

  • Sell 5 scenes, cost is $9 plus 4c times 5 = $9.20. Income of $50, profit $41.80. On a 20% platform, you’d get $40. 

  • Sell 50 scenes, cost is $9 plus 4c time 50 = $11. Income of $500, profit $490.50. On a 20% platform you’d get $300


 As you can see, you don’t need many fans to start buying to make sales here far more profitable than sales on platforms.
 

But what about Subscribers? If you have 100 scenes and they pay $10 for a month then binge all 100 scenes then quit… AHA! We don’t them do that. They get access to your NEW scenes, and about 10 of your archive. As each month passes, they get to see more of the archive. (You can override for people who pay for a 1 year subscription up front)
 

  • 1 Subscriber : You pay $9 storage, plus 40c bandwidth and earn $10 so profit $60c

  • 2 Subscribers: You pay $9 storage and 80c bandwidth and earn $20. Profit of $10.20.

  • 10 Subscribers : $9 and $4 but earn $100. Profit $87

  • 100 Subscribers : $9 and $40 but earn $1000. Profit $951! 

As you can see, you don’t need many sales to be making a better % profit than from standard platforms. 

Tip : When adding initial Cloud Streams, assign each of them to an Archive. Then each month a new Archive is opened to subscribers.
 

New scenes are added automatically to that months archive.

Sample Creator T&C (you need one when you sell direct) - Deep Dive

Suggested bullet point wording for your T&Cs re buyers.

You must create a T&Cs before selling content or physical items via CreatorsUnchained

If UK, you don’t have to think of everything as courts are used to deciding what is reasonable re implied terms if there is a dispute. If elsewhere, know your system and apply it.

DO write something for the stuff you care about.

Creator-Buyer Terms & Conditions

By purchasing content or physical goods from me (the Creator), you (the Buyer) agree to the following terms:

Direct Relationship: Your contract and relationship are strictly with me, the Creator. CreatorsUnchained is purely the hosting platform and is not a party to this agreement. All disputes must be settled directly between you and me.

Content Availability: For individually purchased digital content (a-la-carte), I promise that, where it is within my control, the content will remain available to you for at least 30 days after your purchase.

Content Removal & Reissuing: I reserve the right to remove any content from my library at any time, for any reason (or no reason at all), and I may choose to reissue it in the future.

Refunds: If your individually purchased content is withdrawn within 30 days of purchase due to a dispute or third-party action, I will refund you using Bitcoin Lightning OR you can have alternative content to the value of 2x the unavailable content.

Subscription Exemption: The 30-day availability rules do not apply to Subscription users, as subscribers already enjoy ongoing access to a library of content.

Payment Disputes: If you are unhappy with a purchase and we cannot reach a resolution directly, you may take the issue up with your payment service provider, provided your payment service offers dispute resolution.

Physical Goods: All sales of physical goods are final. There are absolutely no returns. Furthermore, I do not offer refunds or replacements for items damaged in transit .

These T&C DO NOT apply to any interactions off site - either on other sites that you may visit from here (such as cam sites) or any in person arrangement that happens. Those shall be governed either by the other sites rules, or such terms as we agree.

Changing Terms : These terms may change at any time. You will not be notified.

Jurisdiction Governing This Contract : Usually your Country and maybe your State. YOU NEED TO EDIT THIS IN!!!!


 

Chatters and Management - our rules - Deep Dive

If you use someone else to interact with people on this site, you must say so in your T&Cs. 

If you direct people elsewhere to chat, you must NOT indicate that they they will actually be chatting with you there, UNLESS they will actually be chatting with you. 

Something like, “I have help running my business, esp doing things like delivering content to buyers, thrashing out the details of customs etc. If you specifically want to interact with me personally, see my Bio for details”. 

We don’t have onsite chat RN, so it’s not really an issue for us, but could be for you. 

Writing the following in your Bio :- 

Good : There is no chat function here, but on my PlatFormX, all paid chat is with me. 

Good : There is no chat here, but if you send me $40, I will open my SnapChat for three months. That will be me personally. Behave properly. Remember I have a life, and my SLA is 24 hours weekdays, closed at weekends. 

Bad (if you have Chatters doing free chat on PlatformX): There is no chat here, but come chat with me on PlatFormX.

 

Everything must be entirely your own material, or shared in a documented fashion. 

Law requires that we take down content on demand. We have no choice, no right to make a judgement, we have to take it down.

THEN we see about fighting about it.

Look at our copyright complaints page to see how it works, but the key thing is for you to have EVIDENCE that you have rights.
 

Collabs

Get BTS of people confirm the collab and share.

Get the RAW pre edit content

If you get a take down because some idiot company hired by the guy you collabbed with 3 years ago issues a take down, THIS is the slam dunk, fuck it we’re putting it back up stuff.

 

Easy ways to stay safe

Avoid any brand names appearing in any staged location.

Street shot where a McDonalds is in the background and you are NOT having a Big Mac or talking about Md’s, fine.

Huge Big Mac poster over the bed. Not fine.

Don’t use any music. Not even AI music.

 

You like risk?

If you use any other sources, document it and make sure you have the right licence and are compliant with all the terms (but basically, don't use other sources, don't use music).

 

Be Warned

If we notice a copyright risk, we might flag it to you and ask for your documentation or to take it out. We expect this to be mostly music, don’t use music, please…:-)

Revenge and Revoking Consent - Deep Dive

Before we start, you can TAKE DOWN ANY of your own content, at any time.

We are not imposing a 30 day or 1 year delay like apparently some platforms do. Your content, your business, your way.

You relationship with your buyer is yours. If you tell them that "content is available while listed, could be pulled tomorrow", that is the contract. If you promise people, "if you buy, it will be in your library for at least 12 months, unless removed due to circumstances beyond our control", then you need to follow through on that, or risk their bad reaction.

We do advise that if you decide to delete content, you let the people who have it in their library know, and provide them with an opportunity to save/download it before deletion.

FWIW, revocation by a co-performer is a circumstance beyond your control.
 

Revoking collab content.

If you revoke consent we expect the Creator to take it down on demand.

Contact them direct with your request.

Come to us if they fail to so within 14 days.

BE AWARE that a revocation may be an actionable breach of your contract with the creator.
 

Revoking content you were paid to be in.

If you revoke consent we expect the Creator to take it down on demand.

Contact them direct with your request.

Come to us if they fail to so within 14 days.

BE AWARE that a revocation may be an actionable breach of your contract with the creator.

Use this route for contractual disputes - e.g. "it's AI of me. I did scenes for them, and I agreed they could use AI to improve the scenes, but this is a whole new ones".

Be aware that they may sue you for breach of contract.
 

Revoking by declaring REVENGE or DEEPFAKE

We are required to assume you telling the truth and we it take down immediately. 

WARNING ABOUT THE DANGER OF LOSING EVIDENCE : When we delete, we DELETE. There will be no copy of the video or images kept as the automated housekeeping sweeps it away. We are not lawyers. We do not know what evidence should be kept to help you. If you have involved the police we suggest you ask them to contact us so that we provide/keep whatever evidence can help them and DO NOT ask us to take it down until the police tell you they have spoken to us. Hopefully they will have got what they need, and then told us to take it down. 

 

Professional Membership options - Deep Dive

Membership Tiers and Commercial Options
 

The site will always be FREE to Professionals for things like Trace (that’s for all of our health and safety, if people take it up). 

The Paid level will open up the more powerful professional networking and client communication options.
 

Alpha : Finished. 

Beta 1 : Current.  

Open to Industry Professionals 

At this stage it’s all about industry networking side – tagging your good people, exploring the collabs, green flags, friends and personal friends features etc, and getting content ready for the Age Verified public to come along in Jan 2027. 

There will be niggles, and you finding them helps me improve the site. 

No charges, no money being asked for, but GREAT DEALS for those who like what I’m building enough to support me with cold hard cash while it’s free:-)
 

Beta 2 : sometime in October to end 2026 

Site should be working great as industry networking and loading content for the public release. 

There will be Special Offers for people willing to pay before launch. NOT as good as the offers for people who commit during Beta 1 :-) 

The main work at this point will be building the AV system.

 

LAUNCH : Jan 2027

Full public launch 

Plan is to charge a small fee to the public who wish to AV. 

This automatically gives the site an exclusivity vibe and removes the broke timewasters. 

“This site is about supporting creators. Once you join you get direct access to creators and other professionals. Their time needs to be respected, so we require that you pay a small fee.” 

Fee is pencilled in at $10, but they will get something for it. Open to ideas. Current ideas :- 

a) They get a one month subscription to PaulJonesAIR

b) They get a one month subscription to the Creator of their choice, (from a list of those who want to be included). Most of the fee goes to the creator, less a small deduction for our costs.

b) They get 10 free videos from the list of videos made available by Creators who want to take part in the offer. Creators get $1 for each video of theirs that are chosen.

Payments

Always fun, given our industry.

Anywhere ; Bitcoin and USDT 

If you have a UK bank, standing order (monthly/annual) or bank transfer. 

If you have an EU bank, SEPA
 

I am open to suggestions from people elsewhere in the world, as the costs of bank transfers seem crazy. To get paid properly from the USA by Bank Transfer it seems I have to add 20% for currency losses plus $50 for fees.

Founder Status is given to everyone who pays during Beta 1 or 2, and this is shown on the site.

 

Payment Systems - Deep Dive

It's a pain getting paid.

These are just some options :-

Banks

NEVER use a Personal Account for business. Banks subsidise Personal Accounts, so that can you debanked if they notice (and they are getting better at doing so). Nothing to do with our industry.

It's never clear what banks like us, but I use YourSafe.nl. They are fine with platform income into a Personal Account, (when they started they called it the Talent Account). If you want to take service payments, you need their Business Account, and yes, FSSW is fine. A Business Account also allows a Trading Style for privacy.

Gifting Platforms

Can be an issue for SW, and your money on the platform IS NOT YOURS. Always be taking it off.

Bitcoin

Perfect. To be expanded:-)

Bitcoin Lightning

Perfect. To be expanded:-)

Stablecoins like USDT

Perfect. It's USD, but in crypto. Main point, it's USD. It doesn't go up and down. To be expanded:-)

Payment Tools

RadarChat : very nice little app for messages, calls and video calls. Based on Signal but is also a crypto wallet - Bitcoin, Stables to come.

Fan : Can, can we video chat?

You : Sure, send me $50 to mymyself@radarchat.com and I'm yours for the next 20 minutes.

KERCHING!!!
