    • Maintain control over your IP (AKA your creative content) with full financial and creative power.
    • Remain 100% in control of your creative, distribution, and earnings.
    • Clear deal terms for creators -- you take home 80% of your earnings with less processing fees.
  • Foster your creative community
    • Connect with other creators and your audience who are local to you.
    • Maintain independence while benefiting from your local support network.
    • Build your local audience and connect with them IRL.
  • Be in control of your creative journey
    • You decide how to use monetization tools provided by LoCo+.
    • You own your data. LoCo+ will never sell data for advertising.
    • Develop partnerships with premium streamers and channels to improve discoverability and fan development.

Joining LoCo+

  • Our model is free-to-stream with no fees to join our platform. Think Netflix in the front (curated content for audiences), YouTube in the back (creator controls distribution in the back office).
  • Click the Sign-Up link to start a channel.
  • For quality control, we ask Creators to submit a content sample to be accepted on the platform.
    • Content must meet technical requirements and Community Guidelines (see below).
    • Once accepted, the content will go live on LoCo+ and you can customize and populate your channel.
  • Creators manage content distribution, blog pages, and events through our back-office Creator Studio.
  • Creators activate monetization tools to begin earning money. Creators take home 80% of their earnings.
