How to earn as a creator on HandCraft
HandCraft gives you three ways to earn from your content. Use one, two, or all three — they work together.
Selling NFTs
Set a price for your content and let people collect it. Each collector mints a unique NFT with a random rarity — from Common to Legendary.
- You set the price — minimum 0.001 SOL or 0.01 USDC
- You set the supply — limited or unlimited
- You choose the collector share — how much of each sale goes to existing holders (0–15%, default 12%)
Rarer NFTs are more valuable because they earn collectors more passive income from future sales.
| Rarity | Chance |
|---|---|
| Common | 55% |
| Uncommon | 27% |
| Rare | 13% |
| Epic | 4% |
| Legendary | 1% |
Rentals
Offer time-limited access without requiring a full purchase:
| Option | Duration |
|---|---|
| Short | 6 hours |
| Medium | 1 day |
| Long | 7 days |
Renters get temporary access that automatically expires. They can't transfer or resell the rental. Revenue from rentals flows to your collectors just like regular sales.
Subscriptions
Offer ongoing access through two subscription models:
- Your membership — Fans subscribe directly to you for access to all your gated content
- Platform subscription — Users subscribe to HandCraft for broad access across creators
Subscription payments stream in real-time through Flowcraft. Revenue is distributed to your collectors daily.
Secondary Sales
When collectors resell your NFTs on secondary markets, you earn royalties automatically. These royalties are enforced on-chain — marketplaces can't bypass them.
You set your royalty rate (up to 10%), and a portion also flows back to existing holders.
Combining Models
A single piece of content can be:
- Sold as an NFT for permanent access
- Rented for temporary access
- Gated behind a subscription
This lets you reach different audiences — casual viewers rent, dedicated fans collect, and subscribers get broad access.
