Creator earnings
Creators on MIAU keep 88% of what they earn. MIAU keeps 12%. There is no listing fee, no subscription to be a creator, and no charge to publish.
The 12% is not a floor. It steps down through the referral program, and a creator who reaches the bottom of that ladder keeps 93%.
What a creator can charge for
Section titled “What a creator can charge for”| Revenue stream | What it is |
|---|---|
| Subscriptions | Monthly access to everything a creator posts for subscribers, with multi-month options |
| Pay-per-view posts | A single post, including multi-media sets, unlocked one at a time |
| Tips | A fan sends money directly, with no purchase attached |
| Paid messages | Pay to message a creator, unlock content inside a chat, plus broadcasts and scheduled messages |
Every one of these is live on miausocial.com today, and every one of them pays out at the same rate.
The fee, and how it falls
Section titled “The fee, and how it falls”The platform fee starts at 12% and steps down as a creator brings other verified creators onto the platform:
| Active verified referrals | Platform fee | Creator keeps |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 12% | 88% |
| 8 | 10% | 90% |
| 16 | 8% | 92% |
| 20 | 7% | 93% |
7% is the floor. It does not go lower, and it does not reset.
Referrals count when the creator they brought in is verified and active, so the ladder rewards bringing real people rather than sign-ups.
How creators get paid
Section titled “How creators get paid”Everything on MIAU is priced in dollars. A fan sees a dollar price, a creator sees dollar earnings, and the number a creator is owed does not move with any market.
Earnings clear after a short hold, then pay out on a regular schedule. Payouts are made in stable value, straight to the creator’s own wallet.
At checkout today: crypto, priced in dollars. Card payments are approved and go live with the official platform launch in October.
Why the economics look like this
Section titled “Why the economics look like this”Fan platforms have converged on taking 20%. MIAU takes 12%, and 7% for creators who bring others in.
That is possible because of where the cost sits. MIAU does not buy content understanding from an AI vendor, because no major AI vendor will process the content creators actually post. MIAU runs its own eleven-layer pipeline instead, on its own infrastructure. Owning that layer is what makes discovery, search and automatic tagging possible at a fee this low. See The AI inside MIAU.
What a creator does not pay for
Section titled “What a creator does not pay for”- Publishing, storage and transcoding of uploads.
