Create your own streaming site.

Sign up and upload your drama: it is published free on Generated Worlds straight away. Then open your studio site, which is already built from the series you published, and see it in any of the templates: pick a look, click any part of the page to change the words, and launch. There is nothing to upload twice. Launching on Starter is $39 a month.

Publishing on Generated Worlds is free on the Creator plan, 1 new series a month. Your own studio site is what a plan buys: Starter is $39 a month, and also opens 3 new series a month. Growth is $99 and Scale $499 a month; Established, for studios with several brands and sites, is by contract from $2,500. A plan never takes a share of what viewers spend: on every plan, including the free one, Generated Worlds keeps 20% of net revenue when a viewer pays.

Yes, on every plan. Buy a domain at any registrar — about $10–$20 a year — add the one DNS record the Domain tab shows, and your site answers on it with its certificate handled. Until then it lives at yourname.generatedworlds.com.

You keep publishing free on Generated Worlds on the Creator plan: 1 new series a month, with your series pages and links working as before. Your studio site stays private — only you can open it — until you launch it, and nothing is charged. Viewers who tap your studio name on the Generated Worlds player can press "Request to go live", and you see how many asked. If a paid plan ends, the series it started leave search and the feed and are deleted after 60 days unless a plan comes back; series from your free allowance are never touched.

New series a month, features and the minutes watched on your site. The free Creator plan starts 1 new series a month, with no site. Starter adds your own studio site and 3 new series a month. Growth starts 10 a month and adds newsletter sending, site analytics and removing the Generated Worlds credit. Scale starts 20 a month, sends to up to 100,000 subscribers. Established is by contract, for several brands and sites, with a dedicated contact. If your site outgrows its minutes, viewers keep watching — you are asked to move up.

At the start they are close: a small streaming site costs $35–$80 a month to run before anybody watches, and Starter is $39. Two things differ. You are not buying server space — the wallet, the paywall, the checkout and the payouts come with it, and those are the parts you cannot buy off a shelf. And on your own site a video host charges about a dollar per thousand watched minutes on top; here the minutes come with the plan.

80% of net revenue from every episode viewers unlock is allocated to you, on every plan including the free Creator plan. It is paid out through Stripe Connect once your balance reaches $25. You connect Stripe to receive payouts; you never build a checkout.

Those are general website builders; you would add a video host and a way to charge per episode, each with its own bill. A Generated Worlds studio is built for serialized video, so the site, the player and per-episode payments are one product.

That is the idea: one product that runs the business on your own domain, and it starts at the same money — Shopify from $39 a month, and so do we. What differs is what it sells. Selling a series on Shopify means adding a video player and a paywall from its App Store, each priced on its own; here the player, the free opening episodes and the per-episode checkout are the product. If you sell physical merch, Shopify is still the best store; link to it from your site.

Those run subscription video with your own TV apps, from $49 a month plus a share of sales on Uscreen and $1 per subscriber on Vimeo OTT. A studio site sells episode by episode after free ones, with no TV apps. If your audience already pays monthly and wants a Roku channel, they are the better fit.

Patreon sells a monthly membership on patreon.com and keeps 10% plus processing. A studio site sells the next episode on your own domain, and we keep 20% of net revenue. Many creators use both: Patreon for their closest supporters, the studio site for the series.

If your bio link mostly points at one series, yes: the first tap plays the episode instead of showing a list, and the site still links to your other profiles.

Independent creators and studios making original video with AI. There is no follower minimum and nothing to apply for: sign up, upload your drama and it is published. Content rules are enforced through viewer reports and rights complaints, and a studio that breaks them can be suspended.

No, and there is nothing to install. You pick a finished template, click any part of the page to change the words, and tap any picture to swap it — including taking a frame out of one of your own episodes at the second you choose. There are no theme files, no deployment and no hosting account to open.

Minutes to have something real on screen, because the site is built from the series you have already published rather than from an empty page — your series, your stills and your studio name are in the template before you change anything. Making it properly yours is an afternoon at the outside.

Not to start. Your opening episodes play to a stranger with no sign-up at all, and somebody who wants the next one can pay for it on the page without making an account first — the account, if there is to be one, is created after the payment clears. Nothing asks a viewer to register before they have seen anything.

Yes. The domain is bought in your name at a registrar and stays yours, so it can point anywhere you like later. Your episodes remain yours and the owner of a studio can download their own masters. Cancelling a plan makes the site private rather than deleting it, and it comes back as it was if you start one again.
