For creators

Own your audience. Get paid.

Helm is interest media, social media you actually own. Your followers are yours, your algorithm answers to you, and monetization is built in from day one: Crew memberships, Live gifts, and automatic weekly payouts. Stop renting reach from corporate platforms.

Why creators switch

Yours to keep.

🧭

Own your audience

Short video, photos, Stash, podcasts, and long-form all live under one profile, a profile that also links every other platform you're on. Your followers are yours, not a line item on someone else's balance sheet.

💰

Multiple ways to earn

Monetization is built in, not bolted on: virtual gifts on Live and Crew memberships. You keep 50% to 60%, set by your weekly fleet. Diamonds convert to USD, and payouts run automatically every week.

🎛️

You control the algorithm

Interest-matched distribution across a 37-interest taxonomy puts your work in front of people who chose your topic, with a chronological option too. No pay-to-play reach, no mystery throttling.

Creator questions

Good to know.

What is interest media?
Interest media is social media you actually own. On Helm you pick your interests from a 37-interest taxonomy, the feed follows what you love, and creators reach people who chose their topic, instead of an ad-driven algorithm deciding who sees what. You own your audience, you control your feed, and there are no ads and no data sales.
How do creators get paid on Helm?
Monetization is built in. Fans send virtual gifts on Live; gifts become diamonds and diamonds convert to USD. The Crew memberships send subscription revenue to the creator. Creators keep 50% to 60%, set by their weekly fleet. Everything cashes out through Stripe Connect with automatic weekly payouts, and creator Insights track your views, engagement, and earnings.
What is The Crew on Helm?
The Crew is Helm's creator membership program. Your supporters subscribe to you and get a member badge, a profile ring, and access to members-only posts, Stash, and Live streams, and the subscription revenue goes to the creator.
Interest media
Sorted by what you love, not what is loudest

Tagged by interest, not chasing outrage

Every Helm post carries up to three interest tags, from Fitness to Finance to Fandom. Your feed is built from the interests you actually follow, so discovery stays on topic instead of rewarding whatever is loudest that day.

You help rank it

Open any post and tap the up arrow on one of its interest tags to say it belongs there. Those taps are a signal from real people that help Helm surface each post to the audience most likely to care about it. Only positive interest is shown publicly.

How posts are scored

Ranking blends a few honest signals: how closely a post matches a viewer's interests, how fresh it is, how the community is engaging with it, and how authentic the creator is. We tune that mix continuously and keep the exact recipe private, both so it cannot be gamed and so reach stays fair for newcomers and established creators alike. No pay-to-win, no engagement-bait shortcuts.

Your audience is waiting
