Platforms
How Fanvue works once you have an account: when you get paid, what you have to label, how the identity check works, and what to check before you start.
What you will find here
- How Fanvue pays
- Your share, how long money stays pending, and what chargebacks cost you. The payout calculator works it out with real numbers.
- The identity check
- What Fanvue asks for. It checks you, the person behind the account, and not the character.
- Labelling on Fanvue
- Where the AI label has to be and when. Each platform has its own rule, so you cannot copy it from another one.
- Why we build on Fanvue
- Fanvue publishes a written rule that allows AI creators. A platform with no rule for AI accounts can decide against you later.
- More than one social platform
- Bring fans to Fanvue from several social platforms, each with its own AI label, so one ban does not cut you off.
