About CreatorStage

The Stage
Was Always
Yours.

CreatorStage is a professional publishing platform for musicians, authors, comedians, filmmakers, anime/comics, artists, actors, and podcasters. Show your work. Sell your products — directly within your content. Keep your profits and your fans' email addresses. No algorithm. No ads. No gatekeepers. It's your show.

It started with a songwriter. While building a digital home for composer Hal Pollock — syncing his music, his art, his store — a simple question surfaced: why doesn't every creator have this? A professional home for their work. A direct line to their fans. A way to sell without giving up everything to the platform.

CreatorStage was built to answer that question. Not another social feed of posts about posts. A real stage — where films, music, novels, art, comedy, and stories live the way they were meant to. Where fans subscribe to watch great content, and creators get paid fairly for making it.

"No gatekeepers. No middlemen. No algorithm deciding who sees your work. Just you, your content, and a growing audience."

— Debbie Bishop, Founder

Think Netflix — but for independent creators. A showcase where content gets a professional home, fans subscribe to watch, and creators earn fairly from every view.

CreatorStage isn't a social platform. It's a stage — where creators host their work, connect directly with their audience, and earn from the content they upload.

★ How Creator Earnings Work

When you upload content directly to CreatorStage, every view on your hosted content contributes to the monthly creator pool. Pro and Premium members share that pool based on view counts — the more your audience watches, the more you earn. Your product sales are entirely separate — you keep 100% of those, always. CreatorStage earns only from subscriptions and premiere ticketing, never from your sales or content revenue.

What Makes It Different

You Own Your Audience

Fans who follow or purchase from you share their email address as part of the experience. Build your list. Stay connected. Your audience relationship is yours to keep — not rented from an algorithm.

You Earn From Every View

Upload your content directly to CreatorStage and earn from the creator pool every month. The more your audience watches your hosted content, the more you earn. No ads. No revenue splits on sales.

Synchronized Commerce

Products appear inside your video at the exact moment they appear on screen. No ads. No interruptions. One click to buy — while the content plays. You keep 100% of every sale.

A Real Stage, Not A Feed

Your films, music, novels, art, and stories presented like a streaming channel — not buried in a social feed. Professional. Permanent. Yours.

No Gatekeepers

You don't need a label, a publisher, a studio, or a distributor. If you create it, you can publish it here. Every creator type — musician, author, filmmaker, artist — gets a professional home.

From your dashboard, add your name, bio, profile image, and links. This becomes your public creator page — your stage.

Uploading Content

File Types

CreatorStage supports mp3, mp4, jpg, png, and pdf files. Music, video, images, illustrated books, graphic novels, and documents — all in one place.

Each piece of content can be set to Free (anyone can view) or Subscribers Only (fans must subscribe to access). Mix and match to build your audience.

Connecting Your Store

Shopify

Go to Settings → Connect Store → Shopify and enter your Shopify store URL. Your products will be available to link to your content.

Dropshipping

Connect your Printify or other dropshipping account through the same Store Connect flow. Fans check out directly through your store — CreatorStage never handles the transaction.

No Store Yet?

Open a free Printify account through our affiliate link and connect it in minutes. No inventory. No upfront cost. Print on demand.

Synchronized Commerce

What It Is

Synchronized Commerce lets you link products to exact moments in your videos. When that moment hits, a buy card appears on screen — the video keeps playing, the fan buys in one click.

How To Set It Up

After uploading a video, go to Edit → Add Product. Select a product from your connected store and set the timecode. No coding required.

Available On

Synchronized Commerce is available on Pro and Premium plans.

Your Fans

How Fans Access Content

Fans subscribe to CreatorStage to access subscriber-only content. Free content is available to anyone without an account.

Fan Email Addresses

When a fan subscribes or purchases through your store, their email address is shared with you as part of the checkout process. Build your list and stay connected with your audience directly.

Getting Paid

Direct Sales

All product sales go directly through your connected Shopify or dropshipping store. CreatorStage does not handle or take a cut of your sales transactions.

Creator Revenue Share

Creators whose content is watched share in monthly viewer subscription revenue. More views = more earnings. Creators with no views in a given month receive no share for that period. Payouts are calculated monthly and issued within 15 business days. Full details in our Creator Revenue Policy.

Note: The Creator Revenue Policy is currently under legal review and will be published shortly. Details are subject to change before final publication.

Your Account

Upgrading

Upgrade your plan anytime from Account → Billing. Changes take effect immediately.

Cancelling

Cancel anytime from Account → Settings → Cancel Subscription. Your content stays live until the end of your current billing period.
