# Creator Plan: Publish Lessons with Verified Trade Data

> Publish lessons, run a subscriber-only feed, and build your brand on NextTick with a Verified Creator badge backed by your real trading history.

The Creator plan (\$49/mo) is built for traders who teach. It gives you the tools to publish lessons to the Education Hub, run a subscriber-only feed, and carry a Verified Creator badge across your profile and every post you make — so your audience knows your credibility comes from a real journal, not a highlight reel.

## What the Creator plan includes

| Feature                  | Details                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Verified Creator badge   | Displayed on your profile and all your Feed posts                       |
| Publish to Education Hub | Upload long-form video lessons and link real journal trades as examples |
| Subscriber-only feed     | Posts visible exclusively to your paying subscribers                    |
| Custom profile theme     | Personalize the appearance of your public NextTick profile              |
| Direct support           | Priority access to the NextTick team                                    |

The Creator plan includes everything in the Pro plan — full analytics, backtesting lab, drawdown forensics, and up to 20 screenshots per trade.

## How to apply for a Creator plan

Creator status is not automatic. The NextTick team reviews each application to confirm you have a genuine trading history on the platform before granting publisher tools and the Verified Creator badge.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to your profile settings">
    Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select **Profile Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Upgrade to Creator">
    Find the **Upgrade to Creator** button in the plan section, or navigate directly to the Pricing page and select the Creator tier.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit your application">
    Complete the short application form. The NextTick team reviews your trading history on the platform to confirm eligibility.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive your badge and publisher tools">
    Once approved, your profile displays the Verified Creator badge and the lesson publishing tools become available in the Education section.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Creator status requires a real trading history logged on NextTick. The application review exists to protect the integrity of the Education Hub — every creator's lessons are backed by verified trade data, and that guarantee only holds if the review process runs. Applications are typically reviewed within two business days.
</Note>

## Publishing a lesson

Once you have Creator status, you can publish lessons directly from the Education section of the app.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to My Lessons">
    Go to **Education → My Lessons → New Lesson**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload your video content">
    Upload the video file for your lesson. Supported formats and maximum file size are shown during upload.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add title, description, and topic tags">
    Write a clear title and a short description. Add topic tags so members can find your lesson when filtering by setup type or subject.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link trades from your journal">
    Search your Trade Log and attach specific trades as inline examples. Linked trades appear inside the lesson with your real entry, exit, P\&L, notes, and screenshots.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set access level">
    Choose who can watch the lesson:

    * **Free preview** — visible to all NextTick members as a sample
    * **Pro required** — available to Pro and Creator members
    * **Subscribers only** — available exclusively to your paying subscribers
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Click **Publish**. Your lesson is immediately available to members who meet the access level you selected.
  </Step>
