Create & Earn

Creator tools in FOCUS give original work a place to be published, organized, and supported. A clear Topic helps people find a post, while followers, Topics, account progress, and other audience activity can open additional publishing and reward options.

Creator tools

  • Select Publish on your creator profile to create a post and choose a Topic.
  • Return to your profile and the content menu to manage published work.
  • Read the program details before using the Creator Revenue Program, Premium, or Tips.

The creator profile is the starting point for publishing and credited activity. Topics organize related posts and can define who may publish or unlock Premium content. Program options vary by format, Topic, and account, so each post should be considered together with its Topic and access settings.

Start creating

  1. Open your creator profile.
  2. Select Publish.
  3. Choose a supported format and Topic in FOCUS.
  4. Publish content you created or have permission to use.
  5. Follow the Community Guidelines and Creator Guidelines.

Use Preview when it is offered to inspect the selected media, information, Topic, and access settings. After publishing, return to your creator profile and open the content to confirm how it appears to others.

Create and manage a Topic

Open your Topic list and select Create Topic to organize posts under a subject you manage. Add a clear name, picture, and description so people can understand its purpose before following or opening a post. You can own up to 3 active Topics; released Topics do not count toward that limit.

  • Allow Everyone to Post controls whether other participants may publish to the Topic. When it is disabled, only the Topic owner can post.
  • Allow Premium Content enables subscriber-only posts and lets the owner select a subscription price from the listed options.
  • Update Topic Info changes the Topic details and settings after creation.

Topic owners can use Hide in Topic on unsuitable or off-topic posts. Choose Release Topic only after reviewing the warning: releasing it removes the associated permissions and benefits and cannot be undone.

Creator programs

  • Creator Revenue Program: Understand qualifying viewer and Topic activity, including an additional 30%+ creator share under current rules.
  • Premium Content: Set up Topic-based access and understand creator shares that can reach up to 95% under current rules.
  • Tips for Creators: Learn how viewers send Points and how a creator share can reach up to 95% under current rules.
  • Creator Guidelines: Review publishing, originality, privacy, and safety requirements.

A viewer action creates a creator reward only when it meets the conditions in FOCUS. The Creator Dashboard records qualifying rewards after crediting; it does not enable a program or change Topic settings.

Review credited rewards

From your creator profile, select Credited to open the Creator Dashboard. It shows rewards already added to your Points balance. Total and recent views summarize reporting periods, while source categories distinguish ads, Premium, Tips, and other creator activity.

If an entry looks incomplete, compare the content or Topic, the Dashboard entry, and your Points balance before using Help & Feedback.
