Earn from the work.
Five ways artists and writers earn on Creative Flair. From paid blogging at $1 per 1,000 reads to affiliate commissions, courses in development, and a referral programme for the platform itself.
Five ways to earn.
Each programme is at a different stage. Some are open to all members, some require an application, some are still being built. Honest about the status of each.
Paid blogging.
Write for The Journal and earn from every read. Approved members are paid for their articles, with stats visible in your My Earnings dashboard.
Ads & affiliates.
Embed your own affiliate links in posts and pages. Creative Flair takes no cut on third-party affiliate revenue you generate from your content.
Forums & groups.
Currently exploring monetisation routes for forum hosts and group leaders. Early access by invitation as we test the model with active community members.
Course revenue share.
The courses platform is being built. When it launches, instructors will be able to publish paid courses with a transparent revenue share.

FAQ · Blog monetisation.
How much can I earn?
Creative Flair pays $1 for every 1,000 readers your articles gain.
There is no limit on third-party affiliate earnings — anything you make from affiliate links in your posts is yours.
The monetisation programme is currently in beta. We are always looking to increase the earning amount for our writers as the platform grows.
How do I get paid?
Payments are sent via PayPal.
Enter the PayPal email address you'd like your earnings sent to under Settings · My Earnings. This lets you send earnings to a separate email address if you choose.
Note: we are not responsible if you enter an incorrect email address and the payment is sent to the wrong account. Double-check before saving.
Can I see how many reads my posts have?
Yes. Once you're accepted into the monetisation programme, a new tab appears in your profile called My Earnings.
You can see your read counts, post-by-post stats, and accumulated earnings there in real time.
Do I need to reach a threshold to apply?
No, but we do look at whether you have been an active member and have posted good articles.
We review each application personally to confirm it isn't a spam account and that the writer can provide high-quality content.
If you haven't posted articles yet but have been an active user otherwise, there's still a chance of being accepted into the programme.
What are request payouts?
Creative Flair lets you request a payout whenever you need it, rather than on a fixed monthly schedule.
You must reach a minimum of $10 in earnings before you can request a payout. Once you hit that threshold, you can request payment from your dashboard at any time.
