Getting Started on Upspace: Your Guide to Success

Welcome to Upspace! If you’re reading this, congratulations—you’ve taken the first step toward sharing your unique health and wellness activities while earning revenue from your passion. Whether you’re a fitness trainer, chef, meditation expert, or all-around health enthusiast, Upspace is here to help you thrive as a Creator.

Here’s everything you need to know to get started and make your mark on the platform.

Step 1: Set Up Your Creator Profile

Your Upspace profile is your digital calling card, and setting it up takes just a few seconds. Here’s what you need to do:

Name: Use your real name or the name your audience knows you by. Keep it consistent with your other platforms to build familiarity.

Profile Picture: Choose a high-quality photo that’s clear, friendly, and represents your brand.

That’s it! Your profile is ready to go.

Pro Tip: Even with a simple profile, consistency matters. If your audience sees the same name and photo across your platforms, they’re more likely to engage and follow you.

Step 2: Create Your First Activity

Upspace is all about sharing activities, whether it’s a workout, recipe, or meditation. Here’s how to create yours:

Tap the “+” Button on the top right of the home screen.

Add Your Steps: Each step can include a video/image, title, and description. Clear and concise instructions work best!

Choose a Cover Image: Pick a standout photo that represents your activity.

Add Tags: Tags help users discover your activity, so use relevant keywords.

Pro Tip: Some kind of audio instruction is always really helpful, whether it’s a voice-over or simply you speaking in the video, it goes a long way!

Step 3: Optimize Your Content for Engagement

Quality content is the key to building your audience on Upspace. Keep these tips in mind:

Use Video: Videos make your activities more engaging.

Be Specific: Include the little things people are expecting. For example, make sure to add sets and reps to workouts, or ingredient lists and amounts to recipes. These small details make a difference!

Keep It Clear: Simple, easy-to-follow steps encourage users to complete your activity. When in doubt, keep it simple.

Value over Trendy: On Upspace, the content that gets completed is the content that is valuable to users. This is the content that gets promoted on the Home page. You don’t need to worry about trends and hooks and complex algorithms. Just focus on making content that helps people be healthier, and you will be successful.

Step 4: Promote Your Activities

Creating great content is just the beginning. Drive traffic to your activities by sharing them with your audience.

Share Unique Links: Each of your activities, and your profile, has a unique link in the top right corner. You can share this directly with your audience.

Social Media Posts: Post sneak peeks or snippets of your activities on your social media accounts. Add the link for easy access! No need to promote Upspace, just promote yourself and your activities.

Email Newsletter: If you have an email list, let your subscribers know when you post new content.

Pro Tip: Post the workouts you do or the recipes you make on Upspace. Your audience follows you for a reason. They are interested in what you do. Something like, “Check out my workout for today on Upspace” is an easy, authentic, and valuable way to share on social media.

Step 5: Understand the Revenue Model

Upspace’s revenue-sharing model empowers you to earn based on engagement. Here’s how it works:

50% of all revenue goes into the Creator Payout Pool.

The pool is divvied up based on activity completions and new users completing your activities. The more completions your activities have, and the more users who complete your activities, the more you earn.

Earnings are transferred to your Stripe Connect account at the beginning of each month for the previous month.

You will receive an email at the beginning of the month once you have a balance in your account. This email will include instructions on setting up your Stripe Connect Account. It’s quick and easy and secure! Once completed funds will be transferred into your account.

Step 6: Track Your Progress with Upspace Analytics

Upspace provides monthly analytics tools to help you measure your impact:

Activity Completions: See how many users complete your activities.

Earnings Updates: Monthly emails break down your revenue so you can track growth.

Use these insights to refine your content strategy. These analytics will continue to be built out and refined as the product improves over time.

Best Practices for New Creators

To maximize your success, follow these best practices:

Post Consistently: Aim for at least 3-5 new activities per week.

Share your Activities: Let your audience know when new Activities go up on Upspace.

Stay Authentic: Share what you’re passionate about—it’s what sets you apart.
