How Velvet works
Three steps from a first upload to money in your account.
- 01
Claim your profile
Pick your handle, add your bio and links, and you have a link-in-bio page that also sells.
- 02
Publish and price
Turn any photo, video or file into a paid link, a subscriber post or a free public one. You set every price.
- 03
Get paid
Each sale clears a 7-day hold, then you withdraw from $50 whenever you want. There is no payout schedule to wait for.
What we stand for
Velvet rests on four commitments, and we hold to them in the product, not just on this page.
You keep what you earn
Commission starts at 12% and falls to 0% as you grow. We do better when you grow, not on every transaction.
You own your audience
Your fans, your data, your terms. Export your list at any time: the relationship is yours, not ours.
Payouts you control
No approval queue and no fixed payout day. Cleared earnings are yours to withdraw when it suits you.
Real people, never bots
Chat is a direct line between a creator, or the team they choose, and a fan. We never write messages as you.
Who Velvet is for
Four roles share one product, and each gets a workspace built for what it actually does.
For creators
Publish a public Velvet profile, set your own prices, and sell access to your content directly to your fans, with fast payouts and low fees.

- Your prices, from 12% commission down to 0%

For agencies
Run several creators from one workspace: shared inboxes, chatter seats with scoped permissions, and per-creator earnings and commission you can audit.
