First sale? Start with the selling guide, then work through the first-link checklist. Running an agency? Use the operational worksheets alongside the fee examples.
Make your first offer clear.
A paid photo link works best when the fan understands the offer before checkout. Start with the picture, the rights to sell it, the validation step and the listed price. The beginner guides connect those decisions in order.
Sell content online
Sell digital content directly to your audience. Plan your first approved photo, price it clearly and share a paid link with a practical checklist.
Sell private photos
Sell private photos through a paid link. Understand the blurred preview, validated original, pricing and realistic privacy limits.
Pay-to-unlock explained
Learn how pay-to-unlock content works, what a fan sees before buying and how one-off photo access differs from a subscription.
First paid-link checklist
Prepare your first paid photo link with a practical checklist covering content, validation, price, preview, sharing and sales records.
Know what the sale leaves you.
Separate the listed price, the fan total and the agency balance. Use the worksheets to compare scenarios and record an actual price test rather than copying a supposed average from a different audience.
Price your photos
Set a price for paid photo access. Compare fan totals, agency balances and small price experiments with a practical worksheet.
Understand content fees
Understand fan fees, seller deductions and fixed charges. Compare the full cost of a paid-content sale using equal prices and clear examples.
Agency earnings calculator
Calculate agency fees and monthly earnings after the 7.5% agency fee. Adjust sales volume and price, or try a $300,000 monthly sales example.
Agency and creator splits
Calculate an illustrative agency and creator split after platform fees. Keep the split base separate from fan totals and payout availability.
Prepare the content and the records.
Keep image preparation, validation and agency records connected. Our guides distinguish steps you control from product behavior you need to confirm. The templates use synthetic examples and do not ask you to send identity documents through email.
Prepare photos for your vault
Prepare pictures for your content vault. Check image quality, permissions, private details and the validation step before sharing a paid link.
Content validation
Understand FanPay Link’s upload, validation and paid-link sequence. Learn which creator and content questions to confirm for your setup.
Protect original photos
Reduce exposure when selling photos. Check identifying details, metadata and previews, and understand what a paid link can protect.
Agency content records
Organize agency content records with a practical inventory. Connect pictures to their creator, permission record and validation status.
Review the way you sell.
Track confirmed outcomes, plan a manual move carefully and match the selling model to your audience. A photo link, a digital store and a subscription have different commitments. Choose the workflow before you choose extra software.
Track content sales
Track paid-content sales with a manual ledger. Separate visits, checkouts, confirmed sales and agency balance without guessing conversion rates.
Switch paid-link tools
Plan a move between paid-content tools. Inventory active links, balances, content checks and existing buyer access before a manual cutover.
Links vs subscriptions
Compare one-off pay-to-unlock content with recurring subscriptions. Match the purchase commitment and publishing workload to your audience.
Links vs digital stores
Compare a paid photo link with a digital store. Choose by offer, licensing needs, catalog size and how buyers find your work.
Agency launch checklist
Prepare an agency paid-link launch. Map responsibilities, content records, pricing questions and a small pilot before expanding.
Reconcile agency sales
Reconcile listed prices, fan fees, agency fees and balances. Use per-sale cent rounding and a manual worksheet for adjustments.
Choose a paid-link tool
Choose a pay-to-unlock platform using clear criteria: eligible content, fan cost, seller balance, access and the selling workflow.
