# Monetization

> Pricing your course and creator revenue payouts.

Once your course is published, you can sell it and earn revenue as a **Creator**
tier creator.

## Creator payouts

Creator-tier creators receive **90% of the revenue** their courses generate; the
platform fee is 10% (minimum payout \$50, paid monthly on the 10th).

<Note>
  Selling courses and receiving payouts requires the [Creator](/en/platform/membership-tiers)
  tier. Designing and building a course in Studio is free for everyone (the Free
  tier is limited to 1 active course).
</Note>

## Pricing your course

Courses fall into access types that determine how learners can reach them:

* **Free (FREE)** — available to everyone.
* **Membership (MEMBER)** — included for paid members (Basic and above).
* **Paid (PAID)** — purchased individually, with a per-tier discount (Basic 10%, Pro 20%, Creator 30%).

Choose the type that fits your course's depth and audience. See
[Membership Tiers](/en/platform/membership-tiers) for how each maps to learner
access.

## How learners pay

Learners reach your course either through their subscription (Basic/Pro/Creator) or by
purchasing it individually. Billing, invoices, and refunds are handled by the
platform — see [Billing & Refunds](/en/platform/billing).
