Publish & Earn
Bring your original romance and AI mini-series to DarkRomanceTV. Create your channel, publish your episodes, and give viewers a direct way to support your work.
Publish your way
Choose whether your series is free or paid.
For a free series, everyone can watch every published episode. You can publish without connecting Stripe.
For a paid series, the first five episodes are free for everyone. Subscribers to your channel can watch the first ten for free and post written comments on your episodes. Viewers use hearts to unlock later published episodes.
You can have both free and paid series on your channel.
Turn subscribers into financial supporters
When a viewer clicks Subscribe, they can support your channel for $2.99 USD per month.
Every subscription provides financial support for your work. Producing a series comes with ongoing costs and unexpected expenses. Your supporters help you keep creating.
100% for the creator. 0% commission for DarkRomanceTV.
On paid series, subscribers can watch the first 10 episodes of every series on your channel for free, instead of the standard five, while their subscription is active. They can also post written comments on your episodes; everyone can read them.
If all your series are free, viewers can still subscribe to support you. Your series remain free for everyone. Active subscribers can join the conversation with written episode comments.
Connect your Stripe account to receive subscriptions. Your Subscribe button appears automatically once your payment account is ready.
Earn from your heart packs
Viewers can buy hearts for your channel to unlock more published episodes:
- 500 Hearts · $4.99
- 1,000 Hearts · $9.99
Hearts bought for your channel can be used across your paid series. They cannot be spent on another creator’s channel.
You receive 70% of heart-pack sales.
Subscriptions and heart packs are separate purchases.
Publish as you create
You do not need to finish your entire series before publishing. Upload ready episodes and publish them as you go.
Keep your rights
Your stories remain yours. Publishing on DarkRomanceTV is nonexclusive, so you can continue sharing your series on your other channels.
Receive payments directly
Sales are processed through your own connected Stripe account. Payments to your bank follow your account’s payout schedule.
In India, South Korea and Nigeria, receive automatic monthly bank payments through Airwallex. No Stripe account needed.
Help viewers discover your stories
Viewers can find your series through the catalog, search, genres, and tropes. Share your channel, series, and episode links with your audience.
When you publish a new completed series, DarkRomanceTV sends one announcement email to your subscribers who receive channel updates.
