Your creator officially exists on Fanvue β account created, verification submitted, declared as an AI creator. This is the account that gets paid.
Fanvue is where every other piece points. Content gets published here, traffic gets sent here, chat happens here, money lands here. And Fanvue is built for AI creators β declared, supported, first-class β which is exactly why this program runs on it. Fifteen minutes of forms, and the cash register exists.
the button below is your personal program signup link. It connects your new account to the Lab β which is what activates your member support and your progress tracking. Type fanvue.com directly and none of that connects. Button. Always.
Sign up with your business email (Lesson 0.2). Password straight into the password manager. Choose the creator account type (not fan). Username: the handle from your persona sheet.
Complete identity verification. Government ID + selfie check. This is YOUR real identity verifying to Fanvue that a real adult runs the account β your creator's public identity stays the persona. You need to be 18+ with ID from a supported country. Verification usually clears fast, sometimes takes a day or two. We keep building while it processes.
Declare her as an AI creator β it's part of the signup questions.
Fanvue supports AI creators natively: declaring her is a feature, not a confession, and it happens right inside the signup flow. Answer honestly and the ββ± badge appears next to her name automatically β no separate setting to hunt for. Never try to pass an AI creator as human on the platform. Afterward, glance at her profile and confirm the badge is showing:

Do NOT decorate the profile yet. Empty is fine today. In Phase 2 you'll fill it with content she made β avatar, banner, bio, prices, all of it. Content first, decoration after. Close the tab. That's discipline.
~15 minutes + verification processing in the background.
You can log into a Fanvue creator account under your creator's handle, with verification submitted or already cleared. Milestone 2 β she has a stage.
Pending for hours is normal; a day or two happens. Keep moving β the next lesson works the moment the account exists, and Phase 2's photoshoot doesn't need Fanvue at all. Past 48 hours: contact Fanvue support and drop a note in #course-help so a coach can flag it through the program's Fanvue line. (The program's Fanvue line lives in #fanvue-help on Discord β a dedicated channel with a named handler. Operator members: ping your private Operator line β verification escalations are exactly what your priority routing is for.)
Stop before building anything on that account and post in #fanvue-help β we can usually fix the connection, but only before the account has history. This matters more than it looks: the button is how your account links to the Lab's tracking and support. {{VERIFY: retro-attribution mechanics β #45 verification pass}}
Almost always photo quality: glare on the ID, cropped edges, dark selfie. Redo it in daylight, ID flat on a table, all four corners visible. Second rejection β Fanvue support + #fanvue-help.
Use your fallback from Lesson 1.1 and update the persona sheet so every later lesson uses the real one.
You need payout details before your first withdrawal, not your first post. If the flow asks, follow it; otherwise we do payouts properly in Phase 6.
Make a separate creator account on the business email β and still start from your program signup button, not fanvue.com. Business and personal never share an account.
Account exists, model exists β next lesson takes five minutes: we wire them together so the studio can publish straight to her page. Shortest lesson in the course.
