Our team has spent most of this year talking with creators across TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Instagram, and Patreon to identify what other platforms are doing right as well as areas where they could better support creators.
We've uncovered the below problems:
"I have millions of followers on TikTok but I get paid less than $20 per month" - TikTok user
"Instagram is hiding my content from my followers' feeds" - Instagram user
"My content is getting demonetized for the most mundane reasons" - YouTube user
"I have to move my audience somewhere else in order to share text or image updates with them" - Twitch user
"The platform doesn't share the ad revenue my content generates" - Twitter user
"Nobody can find my profile" - Patreon user
With the help of some of these creators, whom you've seen around Game Jolt, we've built a platform for creators that address the above issues.
Huge thank you to:

How does it work?
Instead of only sharing a percentage earned from a creator's content, we'll be sharing a percentage of ad revenue generated across all of Game Jolt when your followers give you charged stickers.
At the end of each month, we'll transfer your earnings as real money (USD) into your linked payment account.
Who can become a Game Jolt Creator?
Game Jolt users with 1,000 followers and quality content along with creators that have 3,000 followers on another platform (TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, etc.) will be considered to join.
What's next?
While our team is super proud of what we've built, we still have a lot of work to do. Currently, approving creators into the program is a manual process so that we can collect all of the necessary information to properly make payments.
More ways to monetize!
Earning money through charged stickers is just the beginning, we're currently working on additional ways for our creators to earn money. Our goal is to have our initial creator cohort start testing mid January.
