Creator Compensation
At Dragon Clan TV, creators aren't contractors — they're co-owners of the vision. Our tiered revenue model rewards early believers, exclusive contributors, and community builders.
Base Revenue Sharing Tiers
Every creator on DCTV earns a percentage of net subscriber revenue generated by their content. Your tier is determined by your founding status and contribution level.
Council of 13
The founding visionaries who helped shape DCTV from the ground up. Reserved for the original 13 creators who committed before launch.
- Permanent 75% revenue share
- Equity participation in platform growth
- Priority feature development input
- Exclusive "Council" badge & profile treatment
- Direct line to executive team
Founding 50
The next wave of early believers who joined during the founding creator window. Limited to 50 total slots.
- Permanent 70% revenue share
- Founding Creator badge & profile highlight
- Early access to new platform features
- Dedicated creator success manager
- Priority content promotion on launch
General Creators
All creators who join after the founding window. Still well above standard industry rates.
- 65% revenue share — above industry standard
- Full access to Heidi AI production tools
- Transparent monthly analytics & payouts
- Community features & tribe integration
- Opportunity to earn tier upgrades
Content Exclusivity Modifiers
Creators who bring exclusive content to DCTV earn additional revenue bonuses. The more you invest in the platform, the more the platform invests in you.
| Exclusivity Level | Description | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Full Exclusive | Content available only on DCTV (not on YouTube, Rumble, etc.) | +5% |
| Timed Exclusive | Content premieres on DCTV 30+ days before other platforms | +3% |
| Bonus Content | Behind-the-scenes, extended cuts, or extras only on DCTV | +2% |
| Non-Exclusive | Content simulcast or repurposed across multiple platforms | +0% |
Modifiers Stack
Exclusivity bonuses are additive. A Council of 13 creator with full-exclusive content would earn 75% + 5% = 80% of their content's net subscriber revenue. Bonuses are calculated monthly based on content flagged as exclusive during that period.
Complete Revenue Share Summary
Here's how the tiers and modifiers combine across all scenarios.
| Creator Tier | Base Share | + Full Exclusive | + Timed Exclusive | + Bonus Content |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Council of 13 | 75% | 80% | 78% | 77% |
| Founding 50 | 70% | 75% | 73% | 72% |
| General Creator | 65% | 70% | 68% | 67% |
Example Scenario
Creator: Founding 50 member with a timed-exclusive series and bonus behind-the-scenes content.
- Base share: 70%
- Timed exclusive series: +3%
- Bonus BTS content: +2%
If their content generates $10,000 in net subscriber revenue that month, the creator earns $7,500.
