You attach, the fan unlocks
Priced content is sent into the thread and stays locked until the fan pays. The fan always sees a real preview frame before deciding, so nothing is bought blind.

What You Sell, and What You Are Measured On
The sale in this job is pay-per-view content: a priced bundle from the client's library on Velvet, attached inside the conversation and unlocked by the fan. This page covers how that works mechanically, what a reasonable target looks like, and how attribution decides whose commission it is.
The mechanics
The price is the client's, within limits
The client sets what their content is worth. Where you can set an amount yourself it is capped at $500, and the authoritative price always comes from the server rather than from anything the app sends.
Attribution decides the commission
The sale is credited to the conversation it closed in, and that conversation has exactly one assigned person. There is no shared pool and no split to argue about.
What a fair target looks like
A target only means something next to an audience size and a shift length. “Close $X per shift” without knowing how many active fans are in the queue is a number pulled from nowhere, and it is the most common way a listing turns out to be worse than advertised.
Ask what the current team closes on an average shift for the same queue. A client who tracks their own numbers will tell you; a client who cannot is asking you to hit a target neither of you can evaluate.
Volume is the wrong strategy
Sending priced content to everyone in the queue converts a few and annoys the rest, and the ones it annoys are subscribers the client is paying to keep. Over a month that trade is negative, which is why experienced clients measure repeat purchase rate rather than sends.
The better approach is slower and pays more: read the fan record, know what they have already bought, and offer the thing that follows from the conversation you are actually having.
What you cannot do to hit a number
You cannot promise content the client has not produced, invent a discount that does not exist, or claim something about the client that is not true. Beyond the obvious dishonesty, it lands on the client as a refund and on you as the person who caused it.
You also cannot move a fan off the platform to complete a sale. That removes the attribution your own commission depends on, and it removes the payment protection the fan is relying on.

- Attributed to
- One conversationWhich carries one assigned person, so commission has one owner.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly am I selling?
Pay-per-view content the client has already produced and priced: a bundle of photos or video attached in the conversation and unlocked by the fan.
Do I set the prices?
Usually the client does. Where you can set an amount, it is capped at $500, and the price the fan is charged always comes from the server.
How is it decided that a sale was mine?
By the conversation it closed in. That conversation has one assigned person at a time, so the commission has exactly one owner.
Are targets set by Velvet?
No. Targets are entirely between you and the client. The platform provides the sales mechanism and the attribution, not the quota.
What if a fan asks to pay another way?
Decline it. Off-platform payment loses your attribution and your commission, and leaves the fan with no protection if something goes wrong.
