Title

Good: “5 Lighting Setups Every Filmmaker Should Know” Bad: “OMG YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS INSANE LIGHTING HACK!!!”

​
Thumbnail

Thumbnails matter. A lot.

Do

  • High contrast
  • Readable text (if any)
  • Faces perform well
  • Consistent style across videos

Don't

  • Tiny unreadable text
  • Cluttered images
  • Misleading thumbnails
  • Random screenshots
Recommended size: 1280x720 (16:9)

​
Series Benefits

  • Organization: Fans find related content easily

​
Paywalling Content

You can lock videos behind your channel’s paywall.

​
Free vs. Paywalled

Paywalling requires setting up your channel subscription through Stripe Connect. Learn about payouts →

​
Paywall Strategy

Most creators succeed with a hybrid: enough free content to hook people, premium content to monetize serious fans.

​
Standalone Purchases

Let people buy individual videos or series without a subscription.

​
Setting Up Standalone

  1. On the video upload page, toggle Allow Standalone Purchase
  2. Set your price (you keep 80%)
  3. Publish
Buyers get permanent access to that content without needing a subscription.

​
When to Use Standalone

  • Courses with clear standalone value
  • Premium tutorials
  • One-off masterclasses
  • Content that makes sense outside a subscription

​
Batch Uploads

Uploading multiple videos at once:
  1. Go to Creator Studio → Upload
  2. Select multiple files (or drag a folder)
  3. Videos queue for upload
  4. Edit details for each while they upload
  5. Publish all at once or individually

​
Video Processing

After upload, LOAFS processes your video for streaming: You’ll see a progress indicator. Large files take longer.
Don’t close the browser until upload completes. Processing continues server-side.

​
