Quick questions
Do I need a big following to earn money?
No. A few hundred fans who love your work can earn you more than thousands of people who just scroll past. The guides show you how to make the most of a small audience.
Are these guides only for adult creators?
No. Some guides cover adult platforms and their rules, and others work for any creator, like writers, coaches, artists and photographers.
Are the fees and rules up to date?
Fees and rules change a lot. Use the guides to compare your options, then check each platform's own site before you decide.
Which guide should I read first?
Start with the platforms guide, then the pricing guide. After that, read whichever one matches what you're doing next.
