Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
What does it cost curators?
Nothing to start. The curator page, list building, affiliate link management and disclosure handling are free permanently. The platform takes 15 percent of affiliate revenue earned through it, and the curator keeps the rest.
Do I need technical skills?
No. Affiliate link management across every retailer and disclosure handling are automatic.
How are commercial relationships disclosed?
Automatically and prominently, for every commercial relationship.
Can commission affect what gets recommended?
The platform rule is that recommendations are made before commercial terms are checked.
What is in the pro tier?
For 12 dollars a month, curator pro adds a custom domain, memberships and analytics. It is optional.
Do readers pay?
No. Readers never pay unless a curator chooses to offer a membership.
Can readers check a curator's expertise?
Yes. Readers can see the curator's actual credentials and history in the domain.
Why should I trust the curator earnings calculator?
It is arithmetic on your own estimates, worked out in your browser. It does not know your audience or any retailer's rates, so treat the result as a figure to test, not a forecast. The 15 percent share and the optional 12 dollar pro tier are TopCurator's published terms.
What could the recommendations you already give earn?
