Lore Master Onboarding GuideBuilding Your Creative Empire
⏱️ Estimated Time to Completion: ~70 Minutes
Congratulations, Lore Master! You are now taking the first step in building a sustainable, multi-media creative enterprise. This guide provides the six essential steps to activate your account, launch your shop, and unlock the full profit-sharing potential of Wavelength Lore.
The Lore Master concept is central to Wavelength Lore—you are the visionary who owns the Intellectual Property (IP) and leads the creative direction.
During the onboarding phase, your primary goals are:
Before you begin, please ensure you have:
This is the most critical step. It transforms your account from a placeholder into an active earning hub ready for fans and Artisan collaboration.
Est. Time: 10 min
Fill out your Lore Master bio, social links, and set your Wavelength Lore profile picture.
Est. Time: 20 min
Design your first merchandise item, set its pricing, and publish it to your shop.
Est. Time: 5 min
Identify your first two potential Artisan needs (e.g., a logo artist, a 3D modeler) and make a note of them for future connection.
Est. Time: 5 min
Navigate to the Payouts tab and link your preferred financial method (e.g., bank account or payment processor).
Transparency is key. Before we ask for any identity verification, you need to understand exactly how you get paid. Our profit split model is designed to maximize returns for the creators who built the vision (Lore Masters) and the creators who execute it (Artisans).
| Recipient | Percentage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lore Master | 40% | The IP owner and visionary. |
| Artisan | 35% | The creator or service provider who executes the product or service. |
| Wavelength Lore | 25% | Platform costs, maintenance, marketing, and transaction fees. |
The referral network uses a simple geometric decay formula to calculate commissions, ensuring the original Lore Master always receives the highest percentage:
| Tier | Split % | Example Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Lore Master (Tier 0) | 100% | The full 40% of the sale that you earned. |
| Referrer (Tier 1) | 10% of the Lore Master's earnings | You receive a 4.0% commission on the sale (10% of 40%). |
| Tier 2 | 5% of the Lore Master's earnings | The person who referred your referrer receives a 2.0% commission (5% of 40%). |
| Tier 3 | 2.5% of the Lore Master's earnings | And so on, decaying by 50% for each subsequent tier. |
All new Lore Masters enter a 30-day Launchpad period. This structured incubation phase is designed to ensure you master the core platform features, build the foundations of your creative business, and demonstrate your commitment to the Wavelength Lore community's quality standards.
To successfully complete the Launchpad and unlock your full Lore Master privileges, you must achieve the following five milestones within 30 days:
Complete your first transaction (sale or commission) within 30 days. This is proof of concept for your business model and validates that your content resonates with your audience.
Publish or significantly revise three pieces of original content (e.g., a new story chapter, a song, a product update, or a new merch design). This ensures you are actively building your creative universe, not just setting up a profile.
Complete your profile, shop setup, and publish a minimum of one active product ready for sale. This builds trust with your community, makes you discoverable by fans and Artisans, and ensures you're ready for business, not just set up.
Actively participate in at least two community forums or networking events by posting a question, sharing a resource, or offering feedback to another Lore Master. Simply "joining" is passive—active participation promotes the spirit of our sharing platform.
Maintain a clean record and adhere to all community guidelines and platform policies. Creative integrity is the foundation for a healthy, profitable community.
