For Creators
How Aeon of Creators works — from first upload to payout
Aeon of Creators is operated by Dark Underworld Records & Nocturnal Fire Entertainment, LLC.
1. Create your account and channel
Sign up free, verify your account, and open a channel in the category that fits your work. Uploading, running a channel, and linking your own sites are always free — no plan is required to publish. Give your channel a name, artwork, and a description that tells viewers what you make.
2. Upload your videos
Uploads are chunked and resumable, so a dropped connection does not lose your file. Before any video publishes, it passes an automated review — originality, rights, and policy checks — so the catalog stays clean. Content that is not yours to publish is rejected, and repeat violations are enforced under the Community Guidelines and the DMCA. If a video is flagged in error, a human review and appeals path is available.
3. Grow your audience
Viewers can follow your channel, save your videos, and share them — Aeon videos carry share cards with your artwork to the major social platforms. Post consistently, keep your channel page current, and bring your existing audience with you: your channel link is yours to promote anywhere.
4. Sell memberships and products
Memberships have no audience gate. Once you complete payment onboarding with Stripe (identity and tax verification, run by Stripe), you can sell channel memberships from your first day — you set the monthly price inside the platform band, and membership revenue is split 55% platform / 45% creator, the same split as advertising. You can also open a storefront on your channel and sell your own products — books, merch, and more — to the audience you are already building.
5. Qualify for advertising
Advertising switches on when a channel holds all of the following: 250 subscribers, 11,000 views, 500 watch-hours, passed identity and ownership verification, and one content review. You sign the Creator Monetization Agreement at eligibility — it is never bundled into sign-up. From your qualifying videos' recognized ad revenue, you receive 45%. Where Google's split-at-source rail applies, Google pays each side directly and Aeon never holds your ad money; on rails that pay the platform first, your share arrives by monthly Stripe Connect payout. You must be 18 or older to monetize.
Creator plans
Optional paid plans — Creator, Creator Pro, and Creator Studio — add presentation, status, and priority features for creators who want them. Plans are never required to publish, to be discovered, or to earn; uploading and channel basics stay free forever.
The rules, in the open
Everything runs on public documents: the Terms of Service, the Community Guidelines, the Privacy Policy, and the Creator Monetization Agreement. Read them before you build on the platform — they are the same rules the platform enforces.
