Creator Partnership Agreement

1. Definitions

• Creator: You, the individual who has registered an account and wishes to monetize content on MisarBlog.
• Platform: The MisarBlog service at misar.blog and associated subdomains.
• Content: Articles, newsletters, and other written works you publish on the Platform.
• Revenue: Payments received by Creators from readers via subscriptions, tips, or paid article purchases.
• Platform Fee: The percentage of revenue retained by MisarBlog to cover infrastructure, payment processing, and platform development.

2. Revenue Sharing

MisarBlog operates on a transparent revenue-sharing model:

• Creator Share: 75% of net revenue after payment processor fees
• Platform Fee: 25% — used for server infrastructure, AI features, security, payment processing overhead, and platform development
• Payment processor fees (Stripe): ~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, deducted before the 75/25 split
• Payouts are processed monthly for balances above $20 USD

Example: A reader pays $10 for your article. After Stripe's ~$0.59 fee, the net is $9.41. You receive $7.06 (75%), MisarBlog retains $2.35 (25%).
