# Setting Up Your Creator Profile

> Walk through the 3-step creator setup wizard and optimize your profile for maximum engagement

Your profile is the first thing fans see. A complete, polished profile converts visitors into subscribers at 3-4x the rate of a bare-bones one. onlyvibe walks you through a 3-step wizard to get everything right.

## The 3-Step Setup Wizard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1: Profile Basics">
    Fill in your core identity:

    * **Display name** — your public-facing name (max 100 characters)
    * **Username** — your unique @handle (lowercase letters, numbers, dots, underscores; 3-30 characters). This becomes your shareable profile URL: `onlyvibe.ai/@yourname`
    * **Bio** — a short pitch about who you are and what fans can expect (max 500 characters)
    * **Avatar** — your profile picture
    * **Banner** — the header image on your profile page

    <Tip>
      Your username cannot be changed once claimed by another creator. Pick something memorable and consistent with your brand across other platforms.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2: Monetization">
    Configure how you earn:

    * **Subscription price** — set your monthly rate in OVIBE (see [Subscription Pricing](/real/subscriptions))
    * **Tip menu** — add custom items fans can purchase (see [Tip Menu](/real/tip-menu))
    * **Public/private toggle** — choose whether your profile appears in the browse directory
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 3: AI Assistant">
    Set up your AI-assisted DMs:

    * **Enable/disable** AI auto-responses
    * **Personality prompt** — describe your voice so the AI matches your tone
    * **Visibility** — choose "visible" (shows AI indicator) or "hidden" (seamless experience)

    This step is optional. You can configure it later from your dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Image Recommendations

| Image  | Dimensions                          | Format          | Notes                                                                              |

| Avatar | 400 x 400 px (1:1 ratio)            | JPEG, PNG, WebP | Circular crop. Use a clear face shot or logo.                                      |

## Bio Writing Tips

Your bio has 500 characters to convince someone to subscribe. Here is what works:

1. **Lead with what fans get.** "Exclusive daily photos, custom content, and personal DMs" is better than "Hey I'm Sarah."
2. **Include a call to action.** "Subscribe to unlock my private gallery" gives visitors a clear next step.
3. **Show personality.** Write the way you actually talk. Fans subscribe to *you*, not a polished press release.
4. **Mention your posting schedule.** "New content every day" sets expectations and builds trust.

<Info>
  You can update your bio anytime from the **[Creator Dashboard](/real/dashboard)** without losing subscribers.

## Social Links

Connect your other platforms to build credibility and cross-promote. onlyvibe supports:

| Platform         | Field       |
| ---------------- | ----------- |
| Twitter / X      | `twitter`   |
| Instagram        | `instagram` |
| Telegram         | `telegram`  |
| Personal website | `website`   |

Social links appear as icons on your profile page. Fans who find you on onlyvibe can follow you elsewhere, and fans from other platforms can verify your identity.

<Tip>
  Link your Twitter or Instagram to build trust with new visitors. Profiles with at least one social link see higher conversion rates.
</Tip>

## Verification

After setting up your profile, submit for verification to get a verified badge:

1. Go to **Creator Dashboard** and tap **Submit Verification**
2. Your profile enters a "pending" review state
3. Once approved, a verified badge appears on your profile

Verified creators appear higher in browse results and inspire more trust from potential subscribers.
