The five signup screens on The Creators Club, what each one is for, what happens right after, and the two things worth doing before you post anything.

3 min readUpdated September 11, 2026

In short

  1. 1Open the start page and choose creator
  2. 2Enter your email and the six digit code
  3. 3Pick clipper or UGC creator
  4. 4Add your name and a password
  5. 5Tell us where you post
  6. 6Work through the Get started checklist on your dashboard

Signup takes about two minutes and your page is live the moment you finish. There is no application to wait on and no follower minimum.

Before you start

Have the social accounts you will post from ready: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or any of them. You do not need them during signup, but the first thing you will do afterwards is verify them, and that is easier when they already look like real accounts with a name, a picture and a few posts.

The five screens

Go to the start page and choose the creator side. You can also sign in with Google, which skips the email code.

thecreatorsclub.org/start

Welcome. Which one are you?

I want to clip

Post clips of brand content and get paid per view.

I have a brand

Fund a campaign and let creators post for you.

  1. 1Tap I want to clip. The brand card is for companies funding campaigns.
  1. 1Email. Type it and continue. The line under the heading says it: post your first clip and get a welcome bonus.
  2. 2Code. We email you a six digit code. Type it in the six boxes; it submits itself when the last digit lands. If it has not arrived in a minute, check spam, then press "Send a new code."
  3. 3What you make. Two big buttons: Clipper ($25 welcome bonus) or UGC creator ($50). A clipper cuts moments out of footage someone else made. A UGC creator films their own videos. Tap one and it moves on. If you are not sure, this page explains the difference; for most people starting out, clipper is the right pick.
  4. 4About you. Your name and a password. The strength bar appears once you start typing.
  5. 5Where you post. Your handle and the platform you mostly post on. This is the page brands see when you apply to a campaign; you can add more accounts later.

Step 3 of 5: What you make

What do you make?

Clipper $25

I cut the best moments from streams, podcasts and videos.

UGC creator $50

I film my own original videos.

  1. 1Tap Clipper if you cut moments out of other people's footage. It sets a $25 welcome bonus.
  2. 2Tap UGC creator if you film your own videos. It sets a $50 bonus.

You land on your dashboard.

What you see first

The dashboard opens with a Get started checklist:

  • Pick a campaign
  • Post your first clip
  • Verify your account
  • Add a payout method
Dashboard · Home

Get started

Post your first clip to get your $25 bonus.

Pick a campaign›
Post your first clip›
Verify your account›
Add a payout method›
  1. 1Every row is a link to the right screen. Do Verify your account before your first clip; you cannot submit from an unverified account.
  2. 2Add a payout method now so it is saved by the time money unlocks.

Each row is a link to the right screen. The order you do them in does not matter much, except that you cannot submit a clip from an account you have not verified, so verifying is the one to do before your first clip.

Two things worth doing now

Verify your accounts. Settings, then Connected accounts. Each account gets a one off code to paste in the bio; on Instagram it goes in a post caption instead. Five minutes per account and it is permanent. Verify your social accounts walks through each platform.

Save a payout method. Settings, then Profile, then the payout method field: a PayPal email, or a USDC or USDT wallet address on Ethereum. You will not need it for 30 days, and it is better to have it saved than to remember on the day something unlocks.

Things people are unsure about at this point

Do I need to be approved? No. Your page is approved at signup. Individual campaigns may ask you to apply, and the brand approves that, usually within a day or two.

Can I change clipper to UGC later? The choice sets your welcome bonus and how your page describes you. You can clip or film whatever you want afterwards. If you want the label changed, email support.

Does the bonus arrive at signup? It is added to your balance when your first clip is submitted, then unlocks 30 days later like every other credit. The welcome bonus has the details.

Is my email used for anything else? Only to run your account: sign in codes, approval and payout updates.

Next: find and apply to a campaign.
