Create and monetize content

# Create and monetize content Creators can use Passes to share content, build fan relationships, and earn through memberships, paid messages, livestreams, calls, tips, shop items, and other paid experiences. Available tools can depend on your account status, creator setup, device, plan, and feature access. ## Content you can upload You can upload and share different types of content on Passes, including: <ul> <li>Photos: Share image posts, previews, and media for fans.</li> <li>Videos: Upload video content for posts, messages, Vault, or paid content.</li> <li>Audio: Share audio files, music, podcast-style content, or voice content.</li> <li>PDFs: Upload documents, guides, e-books, or other downloadable files.</li> <li>Text: Publish written updates, announcements, stories, or fan-facing notes.</li> </ul> Videos can be up to 10GB. Upload length can vary based on file size, quality, and resolution. ## Before you publish All content on Passes must follow the Passes Community Guidelines. Content may be reviewed before or after it is published. Do not upload content that violates Passes rules, including prohibited adult content, hate speech, harassment, exploitation, illegal content, or content you do not have the right to share. If content is reported or flagged, Passes may review it and take action if it violates platform rules. ## Create a post Use posts to share updates, media, announcements, or paid content with your fans. <ol> <li>Go to your creator account.</li> <li>Create a new post.</li> <li>Add text, photos, videos, audio, PDFs, or other supported media.</li> <li>Choose who can access the post, such as followers, members, or fans who purchase access.</li> <li>Set a price if the post is paid.</li> <li>Publish now or schedule the post for later.</li> </ol> Use clear titles, previews, and descriptions so fans understand what they are getting before they buy or subscribe. ### Create a Fundraiser post You can create a Fundraiser from the new-post composer: <ol> <li>Start a new post.</li> <li>Select Fundraiser.</li> <li>Enter your goal.</li> <li>Add or edit up to 4 suggested contribution amounts.</li> <li>Publish now or schedule the post.</li> </ol> Note: Charity Events are no longer available for new setup. Use Fundraiser instead. ## Use Vault to organize content Vault helps you store, organize, reuse, and schedule creator content. In Vault, you can: <ul> <li>Upload photos, videos, audio, PDFs, and GIFs.</li> <li>Create categories and tags so content is easier to find.</li> <li>Schedule posts in advance.</li> <li>Review performance insights for uploaded content.</li> <li>Keep a cleaner content library for posts, messages, and paid offers.</li> </ul> You can upload up to 40 pieces of media at a time. ## Monetization options There are several ways creators can earn on Passes. ### Memberships Memberships let fans subscribe to your creator account for recurring access to benefits you define. You can create membership tiers, add titles and descriptions, upload tier artwork, set prices, offer monthly, quarterly, or yearly billing, and decide whether to include free messages or subscriber limits. Be clear about what each tier includes and how often fans should expect new content or benefits. ### Paid messages and Mass DMs You can earn through direct fan interactions, including paid messages and Mass DMs. Use messages to share premium content, answer fans, promote offers, or send targeted updates. If you use audience lists, you can segment fans based on actions like purchases, tips, likes, and other engagement. ### Paid posts and unlocked content You can set content so fans need to purchase access before viewing it. Make sure the post preview, description, and price are clear before publishing so fans know what they are buying. ### Livestreams Livestreams can be free or paid. Depending on setup, you may be able to charge a one-time access fee or use pay-per-minute pricing. Before going live, add a title, description, schedule, and pricing option. Promote the stream with posts or messages so fans know when to join. ### 1:1 calls If available on your account, you can offer one-on-one calls as a paid fan experience. Use clear descriptions and pricing so fans understand what they are booking or purchasing. ### Tips Fans may be able to send tips to support you or react to your content. Tips are separate from memberships unless the checkout or creator offer says otherwise. ### Shop items You can use Shop to sell merchandise, digital content, custom requests, event tickets, personal items, or personalized shoutout-style offers. When creating a Shop item, add a clear name, description, price, images, and fulfillment details before publishing. ## Schedule content Scheduling helps you plan posts ahead of time and keep your fans engaged consistently. Use scheduled posts for launches, announcements, membership drops, livestream promotion, and recurring content plans. ## Protect your content Creators with eligible feature access can use content protection tools, including watermarking, DMCA support, and screenshot or screen recording prevention. For screenshot protection, go to Settings, then Privacy & Safety, and check whether screenshot blocking technology is enabled for your account. ## Track performance Use analytics to review how your content performs. You can track engagement, purchases, tips, fan actions, and other performance signals available in your account. Use those insights to adjust pricing, posting cadence, membership benefits, and message strategy. ## If monetization is not available If you cannot access monetization tools, check that your creator account setup is complete. You may need to finish identity verification, payout setup, tax setup, creator review, or other required account steps before earning or receiving payouts. If everything looks complete and you still cannot create paid content, escalate to human. Do not send passwords, verification codes, full payment details, ID photos, tax forms, or payout details through chat unless you are given an approved secure path.
