Creator Ownership Program · Phase 1

Grow with Serey. Earn a stake in its success.

Join as a founding creator. Own your audience and your work, pay 0% platform fees for at least 3 years, move from Substack, YouTube or Spotify in about an hour, and earn up to 6% phantom equity as your audience grows.

Why creators move to Serey

  • No lock-in. Your audience and your work stay yours. Export your subscribers and all your content, and leave whenever you like. We never sell your readers' data or track them for ads.
  • Your work is protected. Every post gets a permanent proof of authorship, and you can choose to publish forever on Arweave.
  • Everything in one place. Blog, video, podcasts, shop, fundraising and community, with sponsorships and ad banners you choose yourself.
  • 0% platform fees for at least 3 years. As a founding creator, you pay Serey no platform fee on your paid subscriptions for at least 3 years. Only Stripe's standard payment fees apply.

Move easily from Substack, in about an hour

  1. 1. Export your posts and subscriber list from Substack.
  2. 2. Import them into Serey. Your posts, images and free subscribers come with you.
  3. 3. Tell your readers where to find you now. Your paid Substack subscriptions stay as they are: you can invite paying subscribers to join you on Serey, and they decide if and when.

Our migration tool is simple enough for anyone to use, with no technical skills needed. If you'd like guidance, we're happy to help you through every step.

Coming from YouTube, Spotify or X?

Keep your channels, and make Serey your home base.

  • YouTube: import your channel in a few clicks.
  • Podcasts: import your episodes from Spotify or YouTube.
  • X: create your own Serey platform, send your followers there, and earn from them directly.

Turn followers into subscribers you can reach directly, and earn through subscriptions, your shop and sponsors, with no algorithm deciding who sees your work.

The Creator Ownership Program

Large corporations earn billions from creators' work, while most creators get only a small share of it. We do it differently.

As one of the first creators in your sector, you help build Serey and share in its value through phantom equity: a contractual share in Serey's value as it grows, without becoming a shareholder. The earlier you join, the bigger the opportunity. Early creators help shape the platform, become leading voices in their sector, and grow with Serey from the start.

How much you can earn. Your share unlocks on two tracks: up to 1% from active platform followers and up to 5% from paid subscribers, so up to 6% in total.

Track 1: Active platform followers (free)

Active platform followers are real people with a verified Serey account who follow your platform for free and were active in the last 30 days. Paid subscribers are real people with a verified Serey account who pay you at least USD 5 a month through Stripe.

Once you've set up your platform (your Premium plan, your Serey homepage, your first content moved to Serey and your SereyLink), you're in the program. Your share then unlocks step by step as your audience on Serey grows. We review your numbers every month and approve each step before it unlocks.

Your dashboard: follow your status

Every program creator gets a private dashboard, so you always know what you've earned and what comes next:

  • Your phantom equity: how much you have unlocked so far, and how much is still available to you.
  • Your milestones: which you've completed, and what's next.
  • Your agreement: the terms of your participation, always available to read.

No guesswork and no hidden terms. Everything about your participation is in one place.

Who it's for

Creators with strong work and an audience to bring, whether you're growing or already established.

This program is for active partners. Phantom equity is a contractual right to share in Serey's value. It is not shares and not an investment offering.
