Start Here: Why Use Curios?

A 5-minute primer on the fastest, fairest path to digital-content revenue

1. What Curios Does Better Than Anyone

Curios Advantage What It Means for You
100% Payouts You keep the full list price; Curios adds a small checkout fee to the buyer.
Own Your Audience All fans’ emails are yours to keep. No walled gardens.
Multi-Format, One Dashboard Upload ebooks, audiobooks, albums, videos, and more in one place.
Discovery-Ready Marketplace Benefit from global shopper traffic without driving it all yourself.
Zero Exclusivity + Instant Edits Change prices, files, or promos anytime—no lock-ins.
Creator Fund & Loyalty Perks Earn bonuses instead of watching others burn ad dollars.

2. Who Wins the Most on Curios?

Authors: Keep 100% of a $4.99 ebook sale instead of losing 30–65% to Amazon. Manage free claims and paid sales in one dashboard.

Comedians: Forget $200K two-year licenses. Upload your MP4 and sell forever at your price—$9.99 HD, $3.99 rental, or bundle it up.

Musicians: Why chase streams for $0.003 when one $1 sale beats 200,000 plays? Sell albums, singles, or deluxe packs directly.

Other Digital Creators: If your content is a file and someone wants it, you’re good to go. No tech stack, no storefront, no fees.
