Everything to do in week one, in the order that makes sense. 🚀
And a reason to move fast: the Fast Start bonus pays 5% on your first 30 days of card and Pay by Bank earnings. Every day spent perfecting your bio is a day that bonus isn't earning. ⚡
Day 1 — Get verified 🆔
Before anything else. You can't take a penny until it's done.
📸 Social account plus passport
💡 Good light, whole document in frame, flat surface, no glare, nothing cropped
⏰ Reviewed 11am–6pm GMT, seven days a week — submit in the morning
While you wait: connect Stripe Connect. It's where your money lands — and without it, any bonus you earn sits pending. Your Stripe Connect Account 🏦🐷
Day 2 — Build your profile 🐷
Your shopfront. Ten minutes, not two.
✅ Display name and photo — recognisable from your socials, or people won't know it's you
✅ Bio — what you make and who it's for. Specific beats clever.
✅ Banner
Day 3 — List your first thing 🔓
Start with Sell Exclusive Content. Fewest steps to a sale, no supporter account needed, converts best from social.
📦 Something you've already made. Don't create anything new yet.
✍️ Describe it precisely — "12-photo summer set, unseen" not "exclusive content"
💷 £4.99 minimum, £500 maximum
Don't overthink the price. You can change it later. Get something live. ⚡
Day 4 — Add two more 📦
Three listings at different price points beats one perfect one.
🔓 Entry-level · 🔓 Mid-range · 🔓 Premium
Your biggest spenders can only spend what you've listed. If your top listing is £15, that's your ceiling. 🐳
Day 5 — Tell people 📣
The day most creators skip, and the one that matters.
📌 Link in bio, everywhere
📖 Story it — properly, with what they actually get
🔗 Link individual listings, not just your profile
💬 Tell the people who already ask you for stuff. They're your first sales.
A profile nobody knows about earns nothing. 🐷
Day 6 — Set up something recurring 🔁
One-off sales are great. Money that arrives every month is better.
💎 Memberships · 🔁 Recurring Content · 💖 Become a Supporter
⚠️ The posting rule applies: 3 approved posts every 28 days. Only switch this on if you'll keep it fed.
Day 7 — Look at your numbers 📊
📈 What sold, what didn't
👀 What people clicked but didn't buy
💷 Whether your pricing was too cautious (it usually was)
Then do more of what worked. That's the whole strategy. ✅
Week one, honestly ⚠️
A 10% reserve applies to your first 30 days of card and Pay by Bank earnings. 90% pays out on the normal Friday cycle; the rest releases automatically after 30 days, then drops to zero. Not permanent, not personal.
Payouts run weekly. Friday to Thursday, paid the following Friday, usually landing Monday. Your first payout isn't instant.
Most creators don't sell on day one. The ones who do are the ones who told people. Day 5 decides your first week. 📣
The checklist ✅
☑️ Verification submitted and cleared
☑️ Stripe Connect connected
☑️ Profile photo, bio, banner done
☑️ Three listings live at different price points
☑️ Link shared on every social you have
☑️ Individual listings shared, not just the profile
☑️ One recurring feature set up (if you'll keep posting)
☑️ Numbers checked
TL;DR 🎯
Verify first. Nothing works until it's done. 🆔
List something you've already made by day 3
Three price points, not one 📦
Day 5 is the important one. Tell people. 📣
Move fast — the 5% only covers your first 30 days ⚡
Live in a week. Earning in a week. 🚀🐷
