How creator subscription platforms work
A creator subscription platform lets fans pay a creator directly for content, attention and access. Here is how the money, the content and the safety checks fit together, using MyRoomz as the example.

The basic idea
A creator has a page. She publishes posts: photos, videos, audio and text. Fans pay her for some of it, and the platform runs the payments, the verification and the storage in return for a fee.
Following and subscribing are different
Following a creator is free and shows you the posts she makes free. Subscribing is a monthly payment that opens her subscriber posts. She chooses who each post is for. A subscriber post still appears to followers as a locked card, which is how a page advertises itself.
All the ways a creator earns
- Monthly subscriptions, with free trials and discounts if she wants them
- Single posts sold on their own, and paid messages
- Tips on posts, in chats and during lives
- Live streams, free or ticketed
- Auctions for content or for physical items
- Private video and voice calls
- Gifts and funding goals
Where the money goes
- A fan adds money to a MyRoomz wallet by card.
- When he subscribes or buys, the price comes out of that wallet.
- MyRoomz keeps its fee, a flat 10%, and the creator gets the other 90%.
- Her share is held for five days, then becomes available to withdraw, from A$20, to her bank.
Who checks what
- Every member passes an age check with a live selfie before browsing creators.
- Every creator passes a government ID check before posting.
- Anyone else who appears in a post must approve it before it is published.

No. Fans top up a wallet by card on our payment provider’s page, and purchases come out of the wallet. MyRoomz never stores card numbers.
›How much does the platform keep?
At MyRoomz, a flat 10%. Many well known platforms keep 20%. Our fee calculator shows the difference on your own numbers.
