5 Questions to Ask When Choosing a Creator Platform

With a lot of creators looking for a new place to earn right now, it’s important to know what to look for.

And in light of recent news, it’s becoming clear that your content business is only as secure as the platform you choose to build it on.

Savvy creators are doing their homework before making their next move.

To help creators in their choice, we’ve put together 5 questions to ask when choosing a creator platform.

1) Is the platform established?

A lot of platforms have popped up in the past year so it’s important to do your research when you’re considering moving all your hard work and content over there.

And with the large volume of creators looking to jump ship, it’s important the platform you choose is able to handle the load.

Look for platforms that are established and have been operating for a large amount of time with a history of paying creators successfully. 

Try and find out how long the company’s been in business and who is behind it. If you can’t find this information, you should think twice about joining. 

2) How can you earn?

Different creator platforms provide you with different ways to earn from your content.

As well as fan subscriptions, some allow you to earn from messages, live chats, and tips.

All platforms will take a percentage of what you earn (this is known as the platform fee).

But, some take more than others, have restrictions about when you can cash out,

and don’t handle VAT in line with UK and EU regulations.

SoSpoilt not only allows creators to sell content subscriptions directly to their fans. Fans can also pay to live stream, pay-per-minute chat, message, or tip their favourite creators.

Plus, creators can supplement their income from fans, by landing paid collaborations or sponsorship deals with brands in SoSpoilt’s network.

3) Are your earnings secure?

SoSpoilt lets you set your prices and cash out regularly. What’s more, we provide safe and direct payments, so you don’t lose a chunk of your earnings to third-party processors.

There’s no need to stress about VAT either. We’ve designed SoSpoilt to handle applicable VAT for you in line with UK and EU regulations. Our platform determines exactly how much VAT to charge for each transaction based on location and the type of content you’re sharing so you’ll never be caught out. 

Look for platforms that are compliant with the rules that matter to you and your content. Watch out for platforms that don’t pay you in your currency, have high platform fees, and don’t handle applicable VAT as they should by law. 

4) Do you have creative freedom?

SoSpoilt is here for all creators. And it’s important to choose a platform that caters to you and the content that you create. 

Our goal is to help every creator who joins us build a safe, reliable income. 

5) Are there extra features to help you earn even more?

You’ve probably noticed the demand for live content is on the up. Live streaming is one of the best ways to boost your earnings as a content creator. 

On SoSpoilt, you’ll find not just 1, but 2 ways to earn from your live content.
