The Problem

The adult content creator economy is booming ($5.6B+ annually), but existing platforms have critical gaps:

Payment Processing Hell

  • OnlyFans, Fansly: High fees (20%), sudden account bans
  • 34% of creators report payment issues costing 15-25% of revenue
  • Stripe/PayPal regularly terminate accounts without warning

Niche Communities Underserved

  • BDSM/kink community is 15% of adult content market ($840M)
  • No dedicated platform for BDSM creators
  • Generic "one-size-fits-all" approach fails specialized communities

Creator Control vs. Convenience Trade-off

  • Creators want payment control but lose platform convenience
  • Direct payments (Venmo/PayPal) → no content management
  • Platforms with payment processing → high fees, account bans

Our Solution

Sanctum: A content creator platform specifically for the BDSM/kink community that gives creators complete payment control while maintaining platform convenience.

Manual Payment Processing

(Patent-pending approach)

  • Creators use their own payment links (PayPal, Venmo, CashApp)
  • Zero platform payment processing risk
  • Creators keep 85-90% of revenue (vs. 75-80% on competitors)
  • Manual content unlock system prevents fraud

Community-Specific Features

  • 14 role types: Mistress, Dom, Sub, Switch, Pet, Brat, etc.
  • Role-based search and discovery
  • Community guidelines tailored to BDSM safety
  • Built by community members, for the community

🔥 Gamified Engagement System (UNIQUE!)

  • Task/Habit Tracking for Dom/Sub dynamics
  • Points, levels, streaks, achievements
  • Reward marketplace (content, privileges, physical items)
  • Creators charge for premium tasks ($5-20/task)
  • Obedience app: 1M+ downloads (proof of demand) but NO monetization

Hybrid Monetization

  • Content sales with preview system
  • Tiered subscriptions
  • Task marketplace (premium tasks)
  • Reward system (point-based or paid)
  • Wishlist/Gifting (Throne.com-style)
