Today is the last day of Fanhouse. You have given us an incredible ride, and we're grateful to every creator and fan who has joined us in the past 3 years. Together, we've empowered thousands of creators to make a living doing what they love through the power of their community.
some creators ask, "what is the minimum $$$ i need to make before i'm eligible to receive my fanhouse payout each week?"
and the answer is: u get your payout each week no matter what it is. can u imagine if we withheld UR MONEY THAT U EARNED? please
For those of you wondering if/when we'll support livestreaming, here's a thread on how we think Fanhouse can support your livestreams and help you monetize on the platforms you're used to, while helping you get more of your income!
We have many creators asking us when we will support livestreaming-- while we're not a livestreaming platform, we have MANY features that support creators who livestream on a different platform, while still monetizing with us for a 90/10 payout. In this thread, we'll explain how!
just a reminder that when someone leaks private content from fanhouse, not only will our support team trace down who leaked it to fine and deactivate them, but they'll also DMCA the site. we've taken down entire subreddits and discord servers before. do not mess with our creators
as a result of apple's b.s., we're releasing a currency on our mobile app called coins. implementing this was the only way we could stand by our creators & values without apple taking our app down.
here's how coins work, and how users can avoid apple's exploitative tax. 🧵(1/9)
From day one, Fanhouse has always committed to a 90/10 revenue split. Creators deserve the majority of their work’s value, and we understand how much a Creator's income means to them and their livelihood.
Serve your Creators fairly.

During his time at Fanhouse, Mat George shared his comedy and spread laughter across our team and community. We send our deepest condolences to everyone who knew him. Thank you Mat for the positive impact you've made. You will always be a part of this team.
reminder that if you're using scripts and integrations to try to leak private content our server will catch you and permanently deactivate your account without refund :)
yes we track down people who leak content, yes we fine them for every leak and send the money to the creator, yes we deactivate them permanently so they can never access content again.
don't leak private content :)
with patreon's announcement that it's exploring crypto/NFTs, we've been asked if we're moving into that space any time soon.
investing in something that many creators dislike while simultaneously killing the environment at a horrendously accelerated rate?
no ❤️
to thank y'all for being with us through everything — and as an extra 🖕 to apple — we want to give 1000 coins ($10 value) to EVERYONE who replies to this tweet with their FH handle and the handles of up to 4 friends!! 💵✨
due to popular demand, we have paused development on the "give every fanhouse creator a free puppy" feature to prioritise working on stream alerts. we hope you're happy
@jasminericegirl
i'm surprised apple even noticed us prioritising creators — how can they see so far down from their ivory tower built off wage theft and child labor?????
INTRODUCING FANHOUSE STREAM ALERTS ⭐️ ✨
with our new browser source, an alert will play when someone subscribes to your fanhouse! 💞
visit your creator portal page for installation instructions 😎
🖤 it's still ace awareness week, have you complimented your fave ace creator today? here's one of ours:
🤍
@ripmika
uses their fanhouse to post cosplays, crafts, high-quality photoshoots, and most adorably: PICS OF THEIR LIL RATS. 🐀
💜
you're devaluing the work of so many creators and attributing their success to "sexualised content." plenty of creators don't do any content of that nature, nor does doing content of that nature change the value of their work. you seem to be self-projecting here
Reasons I won’t ever make it on
@fanhouseapp
or anything similar.
I’m a man and I don’t do sexualised content. Doing anything art/design based without posting anything sexualised always gets devalued and over looked. The world needs to stop with the ‘sex sells’ philosophy.
did you know creators on fanhouse can have a housechat where they hang out with all their subscribers? it's like a discord channel except it's functioning rn
today's a great day to remember that if you're looking for a platform to connect with your community and monetize your content, we have no ads and pay out 90% to creators
😇
idk who needs to hear this but just because you're subscribed to a creator does not mean you are entitled to receiving things from them that they don't want to send and if you harass any creator we will permanently deactivate your account!
*stares in watermarks, DMCA and takedowns for leaked content, locked messages, tips under posts, not requiring 10k followers just to apply, being available internationally, and actually banning bad users from the platform*
supporting creators as directly as you can? making sure that a big corporation isn't taking the lion's share of a tip you're trying to give somebody? very cool. very trendy. very much "in". love to see it

memes aside, here's a thread from one of our founders about why we genuinely believe creator platforms should do better for their creators, starting with their take rates:
When I founded Fanhouse, the first thing I demanded and fought for with my cofounders was a 90/10 revenue split to creators. Why? Because as a creator, I knew how much every single percent meant to a creator's livelihood. For me, who had no other job, it meant food or no food.
🌸 UPDATES 🌸
• we're working on blog articles all about different parts of fanhouse to help creators, new and existing, learn more about the platform :)
• SOON: stream alerts
• AND EVEN SOONER: the ability to send messages to a certain list of people!
who's excited??? 💕
how users have described our platform:
- "2021 version of livejournal"
- "the cutest app"
- "reminds me of myspace which was the bomb"
- "the energy of drunk girls in a bathroom complimenting each other"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ would recommend
expecting creators to continuously create content for free without a way to sustainably support themselves does not create value either. read that again
however, on our app (iOS & android), 2000 coins costs $30, as it has an upcharge that accounts for the 30%.
we HIGHLY encourage that you buy coins on web if you want to use them on the app. this will avoid the upcharge, as your account's coin balance is cross-platform. (4/9)
tl;dr —
• it's business as normal on web, you can make purchases with just your card just like before.
• if you want to make purchases in-app, you need a coin balance, which you can buy at no extra cost on web to then use on the app.

an update on the apple situation: they're now saying that we can't allow free trial codes to be used in the app, as they consider that an in-app purchase. which it's not. but sure 🤡
because of this, we've removed free trial codes from the app 💔
(they still work on web!)
did you know that we cover withdrawal fees for our creators?
most monetisation platforms have their own fee which they take from creators' payouts, and then creators pay a withdrawal fee on top.
when we say you get 90% we mean it. get the bag, keep the bag. 💖💸
we're less than 200 followers from 10k!! thank you all so much for the support 😭💗
fun fact: our 10,000th follower will be the first person to receive polls, desktop dark mode, and stream alerts*
we're excited to incorporate new features, optimise our existing ones, and polish up our app + desktop site so they're as 💕 aesthetic 💕 as can be! we're still a small team, so please bear with us while we work on everything :)
lots of our creators are women, and we stan the women uplifting women vibes 💕👯 but creating content on fanhouse is absolutely for everyone! we have successful male and non-binary creators on our platform, and they're superstars ✨💫
🌸 UPDATES 🌸
• we're working on a discord for creators so everyone can chat, share resources and speak with staff!
• stream alerts development is coming along! ty for ur patience 💕
• more blogs are coming this week thanks to y'alls suggestions!
have a great tuesday 😘
Innocent people are being attacked and displaced, and they need our help. To support Ukraine during this crisis, we've donated to the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund, and the Anhelyk Foundation. We're also sharing resources for information and donation in the thread below.
reading tarot on fanhouse? 💯 posting recipes on fanhouse? 💯 creating a book club on fanhouse? 💯 documenting ur pet's every move on fanhouse? 💯 love it all, 100/10
fanhouse users far & wide!! 📢 we'd love ur feedback!! 📢
we're considering adding a verified phone number as a requirement to make an account, so each phone # can only have 1 account. we want to prevent stalkers & leakers from making new accounts. how would y'all feel about it?
we crack down HARD on content leaks. 🚫
when private fanhouse content is leaked elsewhere, our team can help you send a DMCA takedown to remove it, as well as deactivating and fining the leaker if we are able to trace it back.
report a leak:
if you're looking for new platforms to monetize on, we offer:
- 90% payout
- weekly payouts, no minimum
- monthly subscriptions
- tips
- locked content
- groupchats
- badges
- private & public feed
on fanhouse, creators get paid more, and fans get a lot more than just emotes :)
please do not refer to the person who runs this account as "the social media intern". the term "that baddie who tweets for fanhouse who is very smart and very cool" is vastly preferable, thank you 😌
jasmine's thread explains the situation, and recaps our fight against apple for 6 months. apple requires apps to pay them 30% of all in-app purchases, and wouldn't allow us to have that 30% deducted from OUR profits—they wanted creators' earnings. (2/9)
Fanhouse is a start-up I founded to empower creators, and we pay our creators 90% of transactions.
Apple is kicking us off the app store unless we give them 30% of all transactions.
Apple is a trillion-dollar company, and they get there by exploiting the labor of others. (1/)
YES having a fanhouse account instantly makes you gorgeous and smart! YES every single person who uses fanhouse immediately becomes fabulously cool. PLEASE stop asking us why the platform has these side effects, we simply don't know!
as you know, we have optional watermarks on media to help protect creators' private content, but we know many of you have brought up that you want them to look ~nicer~, so...
our team is working on new watermarks! we would love to hear your feedback on how these look :)
TIP OR TREAT 🎃👻
we're giving out witch cat as an exclusive one-time badge for halloween!
all accounts that tip a creator between 10/23 - 11/02 will get this badge on their profile ~ooo spooky~
so tip creators because they're awesome and deserve it or else >:) ~spooky noises~
