BUILD A SELF-HOSTED CREATOR BUSINESS

Build your own fans paysite.

Launch a complete home for one creator or a community: digital content, memberships and creator subscriptions on your own WordPress site.

Built for entrepreneurs and developers who want to operate their own platform. Bring creator publishing, fan discovery, purchase access and site administration together, with a tested suite of compatible tools.

Your platform, built around your business

Build on your own domain with control of your content, customer data, brand and monetization decisions. Set your own contribution and editorial policies rather than rely on a hosted creator platform’s business model.

Own the creator experience

Choose the public presentation, account journeys and content people can discover. Start with one creator or support a community.

Choose how access is sold

Combine supported individual purchases, creator subscriptions and site memberships. Keep pricing and your site’s commission decisions under your control.

Keep a base you can develop

Use WordPress content, your own media and compatible integrations. Extend the platform as your project grows.

How self-hosting costs and policies work

Using these plugins does not require a VideoWhisper revenue share. Hosting, delivery, payment processing and optional services have their own costs; a multi-creator site can configure its own commissions. You remain responsible for your site policies and the requirements of your host, payment providers and applicable law.

Give fans a choice of ways to buy

Offer individual items, creator tiers or one-time site memberships. Explain the price and access period before checkout.

Start solo or welcome more creators

Build a focused creator storefront or bring multiple creators into one browsable catalog, using the same plugin suite.

Make your work easier to discover

Use attractive previews, creator profiles, search and a private Following feed to help fans find their next visit.

BUILD & PLAN

Shape your site in the WordPress editor.

Place a Fans paysite catalog block on a page, choose a layout and preview your published library. Keep existing shortcodes and the same native viewing and purchase rules.

Prepare a release series with a clear review.

Select eligible new drafts, preview calendar dates or days after membership payment, then save the reviewed rules. Publish or submit each item separately through its normal workflow.

Start with your kind of creator business.

Give both models a clear home. Switch presentation without rebuilding the content library.

A single-creator site

Put one creator’s introduction, offers and catalog first. Give fans a direct route from discovery to membership and content.

A creator community

Bring multiple creators into an aggregated catalog, with creator-owned studios, richer profiles, free following and their own offers.

More than downloads, when you need it.

Add compatible VideoWhisper live streaming or paid videochat for live sessions, calls and events. These optional services have their own hosting, account and payment requirements.
