How to set up a Fanvue AI creator account

Step 01

Prepare the operator and the character

Keep two identities straight: you operate the business; the fictional character is its public face. Decide the niche, name, visual direction and content boundaries before creating the account.

In Forge, use a fully synthetic 18+ persona with rights-cleared references; real-person cloning is outside our workflow. Commercial use requires a paid plan. If the face is not consistent yet, finish the model-training workshop before preparing the public page.

Step 02

Register and complete verification

Sign up on Fanvue, then choose Become a creator. Complete the requested account and content details accurately. Use your own valid government ID and a real selfie for verification, even if your public content is fully synthetic.

Your public stage name and private verification details serve different purposes. Fanvue does not display your ID on the profile. Never upload generated identification or submit the character's portrait as your verification selfie.

Complete every outstanding onboarding action and wait for the account status to confirm approval. Writing the bio or uploading images does not itself complete verification.

Step 03

Build a profile people can understand

A visitor should be able to identify the character, understand that it is AI, and see what the subscription includes. Use one visual identity across the avatar, banner and opening content.

These are Fanvue's recommended image dimensions. Its profile guidance also suggests an intro shorter than 30 seconds. Profile setup and image sizes

Keep the avatar, banner and intro safe for public discovery: no nudity, implied nudity or explicit sexual posing. A simple fully clothed editorial works well for this example. Public profile and intro video rules

Check the AI label, then write the offer

Fanvue requires an account-level AI label for accounts with AI content. Its current guidance says a visible label can cover the bio disclosure; your bio must still avoid suggesting the character is a real human. We recommend a plain AI description as well, so the promise remains clear wherever the text is reused. Answer direct questions about AI honestly. AI labels and disclosure

Change the theme, schedule and operator description. A solo operator should not claim to be a team. Remove any inclusion you cannot reliably deliver.

Step 04

Prepare the first content library

Build a small, coherent editorial library before promoting it. Give every post a job: introduce the world, demonstrate a recurring series, or help a subscriber choose what to explore next.

A ten-post starter exercise

This is an editorial planning example, not an approval requirement. Build variety within one world instead of publishing ten near-identical portraits.

1. 01

   Introduce the character

   Explain the fictional identity, fashion direction and what members can explore.

2. 02–04

   Establish three recurring looks

   For Iris: a studio portrait, a daytime city look and an evening editorial. Keep the face consistent.

3. 05–08

   Deliver one finished collection

   Sequence four posts from the same theme. Use an opening scene, closer portrait, outfit detail and final frame.

4. 09

   Explain the next release

   Publish a realistic schedule and describe what belongs to the subscription.

5. 10

   Invite a useful preference

   Ask which of two achievable themes should come next. Avoid promising individual requests you cannot fulfill.

Choose the audience for each upload deliberately. A public preview should accurately represent the collection; subscriber-only content should deliver the scope described on the profile. Review the post as a visitor after publishing.

Keep the original references, prompts, generation history and matching output files. Fanvue may request a screen recording of that workflow to resolve an originality flag. An export alone may not show how an asset was created. Prove content originality

Use Forge collections and exports to keep each set together. For usable scene briefs, start with the selfie prompt collection and adapt it to your own trained character.

Replace the collection name and schedule before use. Point to something subscribers already have access to.

Step 05

Check the offer and payout setup

Choose a subscription price you can explain through the included content and workload. Separate optional purchases from the base offer, then review the payout methods available to your account.

Write down three things before choosing a price: what is already included, what you will add during the month, and how much production and support time that requires. If you sell optional releases, label them separately. Do not call a subscription “all access” when important collections cost extra.

Use the current subscription controls in Fanvue's creator settings. Preview the displayed price and renewal terms after saving. For cost planning, work through the revenue-versus-profit example; audience size alone is not a pricing method.

Record the platform fees, payout costs and any required account or tax information before budgeting take-home revenue. An approved profile does not guarantee a sale or immediate withdrawal.

Step 06

Review the page before sharing it

Open the public URL on a phone as a visitor. Compare the first screen, content previews and subscription wording with the promise in your social bio. Launch only when those pieces tell the same story.

Make the first week measurable

Send visitors to one finished destination. Record visits, subscription starts and questions about the offer. If people click but do not understand the included content, improve the explanation before adding more traffic. If subscribers join but do not return, review delivery against the promised cadence.

The next step is the Instagram-to-Fanvue playbook: connect a relevant public series to the profile you have just prepared.
