Curator tiers

How do the tiers work?

There are four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Everyone starts at Bronze. Your tier depends on your response rate over the previous 3 months. When you reach the next threshold, you move up automatically.

Tier	Response rate needed	Price per submission	You earn per credit
Bronze	No minimum	1 credit	$1.20
Silver	70%	1 credit	$1.20
Gold	80%	1 or 2 credits (your choice)	$1.25
Platinum	90%	1, 2 or 3 credits (your choice)	$1.30

Your current tier and progress are shown in the Your Stats tab of your dashboard.

What counts as a response?

Accepting or declining a Premium Submission within 7 days. Submissions you do not answer within 7 days are refunded to the artist and lower your response rate. Vacation mode pauses both new submissions and your response rate.

Can I lose my tier?

Yes. If your response rate drops below your tier's threshold, you receive a downgrade warning. You then have 30 days to raise it before the downgrade takes effect.

Earnings

How much do I earn?

Each Premium Credit is worth $2. You earn $1.20 per credit at Bronze and Silver, $1.25 at Gold and $1.30 at Platinum.

Example	You earn
Bronze or Silver, 1 credit	$1.20
Gold, 2 credits	$2.50
Platinum, 3 credits	$3.90

Track your revenue in your Premium Curator settings.

Payouts

When can I request a payout?

Once your revenue reaches $20, request a payout in the Settings tab.

How and when am I paid?

Payouts are sent via PayPal. We process them manually, usually within 7 to 14 days.

Rules

Promotions, payola or other rule violations lead to a ban.
