Creator Success Guide
Seven things that decide how well you do on Dusk. In the order you'll meet them.
Get verified once, stay anonymous forever
A quick private ID check proves you're 18+ and real. Viewers only ever see your stage name. Verification is why they trust you enough to pay you.
💡 Your green badge is your best marketing. It means "real, consenting, safe to desire."
Post. Every upload is scanned, then human-reviewed
Nothing goes live until it clears an automated scan and a human review. Most reviews are fast. Your studio shows exactly where each post is in the pipeline.
💡 Consistency beats volume: one good post on a rhythm viewers can predict.
Tags are how you get found
The feed ranks by interest: when your post tags (or your profile tags) match what a viewer picked at signup, you rank above newer posts for them. Untagged posts only ride recency.
💡 Use all 10 profile tags + tag every post. Specific beats generic, #cosplay finds truer fans than #hot.
Read Insights, then make what the week wants
Insights shows the tags viewers watched most this week (platform-wide demand), which of your tags brought your views, your top supporters (anonymous), and per-post numbers.
💡 The play: find a trending tag you can serve authentically → post into it while it's hot.
Boost a post for $2 when it matters
A boost puts one post first for everyone into one of its tags, for 24h ($2) or 3 days ($5). Boosts are labeled "Sponsored", capped per tag so they stay effective, and only work inside tags the post actually carries.
💡 Boost your best recent post into a trending tag right after posting. Momentum compounds.
Three ways you earn
Views: a share of ad revenue based on validated watch time. Tips: $5–500 — you keep your share of the net after card-processing costs, and your platform fee drops as monthly tips grow (20% on the first $2,000, down to 15% past $10k). Ad-free subscriptions fund the pool too.
💡 Tips clear after a 7-day hold (chargeback protection). Payouts unlock once payments go live.
The platform protects you by design
Your consent is on record and yours to withdraw. Withdrawing removes the content for everyone, instantly. You can permanently remove any of your posts. If something is reported, it hides from the public while a human reviews. You keep visibility and it restores automatically if the report was false.
💡 Settings → Your consents shows every consent you have on file.
Premieres: make it an event
Schedule a premiere on any published post and your followers are invited to watch it together at showtime. Synced playback, live chat, tips in the moment. Same reviewed post, tenfold energy.
💡 Announce it with a broadcast, pick your peak hour, and be in the chat yourself. Rooms with the creator present earn the most.
