Identity Stage name A stage name is enough. IMAGO does not need your legal name. Identity This answer changes the identity and privacy work IMAGO puts first. Niche or category One clear audience and promise produces a more useful first plan. How you describe yourself Your own words. This feeds bios later; keep it honest. Work Experience Choose what is true now, not where you hope to be soon. Commitment The pace and the available hours work together to prevent an unrealistic plan. Hours per week you can really give IMAGO uses the smaller honest number so it does not overload the week. What you want from this Use a result you can recognise: a finished library, regular posting, or income. Target monthly income A number turns a vague plan into arithmetic: how many subscribers, at what price, for the hours you actually have. 'Not about money' is a valid answer. Existing audience Count an audience you could genuinely reach; 'none' is a useful answer. Platforms and setup Platforms you plan to use Pick the places you intend to use. A short list produces a better first plan. Equipment you already own Include only equipment you can actually use now. Studio checks this before suggesting gear. Equipment budget Choose zero if you want IMAGO to work only with what you own. Boundaries Content you will make Content you will never make These are standing boundaries, not suggestions. Later plans must respect them. Response time you promise e.g. 'within 24 hours'. The app never promises faster. Workdays e.g. Mon-Fri Days off Protected days are part of the plan, not leftover time. Your situation If you were recognised This is the single answer that changes the most. It sets how strict privacy is by default and what IMAGO refuses to let past. What would give you away Tick what applies. The privacy check knows what to look for in every photo, one mark at a time -- which it could never do with a paragraph. Anyone else in shot Another person in a photo is a different set of obligations. Replacing their face does not make consent unnecessary. How you intend to be paid IMAGO plans a different week for each of these. Say 'not selling yet' if that is the truth -- it is a real answer and a common one. Finished work ready to post Launching with nothing behind you is the most common way this stalls in week two. IMAGO would rather tell you to build a reserve first. When you are free to post and reply A schedule built around hours you do not have is a schedule you will abandon. This is also what makes posting times testable later. Approached by a manager or agency Fake managers and cold-messaging agencies are one of the most common ways this goes wrong. If it is already happening, IMAGO puts that check in front. What worries you most about doing this Whichever you pick goes to the top of Do these first, so the plan opens with the thing that is actually on your mind. Can you start You are 18 or over Every adult platform requires this and checks it against photo ID. IMAGO will not help set one of those up otherwise. Nothing else in the program changes. Where you are paid and taxed The law on synthetic imagery, what a platform demands of you, and how tax works all differ by jurisdiction -- and IMAGO holds records for these. Picking yours puts them first instead of showing you somebody else's. Which US state Florida and Idaho are the two IMAGO has read statute by statute -- recording, obscenity, licensing, and what a second person on camera changes. Any other state gets the general and federal records, marked as general rather than dressed up as yours. Government photo ID you can use Every subscription and clips platform verifies with one, usually alongside a payout method in the same name. It is the most common thing people discover halfway through signing up. How you can be paid today Not being able to take the money is the most common week-one stop, and some payment processors refuse this work outright. How explicit the work will be This decides which platforms are usable at all. IMAGO keeps each platform's own stance and matches it against this answer instead of letting you find out after you have built the account. How you work What you will actually make Photos, video and live are three different weeks, three sets of equipment and three sets of platforms. Whose face appears A synthetic face is what IMAGO is built for, but it is not the only honest answer, and faceless work is its own approach rather than a compromise. How often you can post Not the first excited week. The schedule is built from this, and one built on a pace you cannot hold is one you abandon. What you can spend per month to run this Subscriptions, promotion, anything ongoing -- separate from one-off equipment. '0' is a real answer here. If it came up Which lane the work is in IMAGO holds a separate set of records for each of these -- the platforms that take it, what it is priced at, and what people in it say about the work. Naming yours puts that set in your plan instead of somebody else's. Non-explicit lane Mainstream platforms each allow different things and pay in different ways. Naming the lane lets IMAGO show the platforms and the rules for that lane, not the adult ones you will never use. Faceless lane Faceless work is its own approach with its own platforms, and the camera and lighting questions matter less than the microphone or the avatar. Naming the lane changes which of those IMAGO asks about. Photo ID you could get Nearly every platform that pays verifies with one. Knowing which one you can reach turns 'no ID' from a wall into a first step with a date. How you will get set up to be paid Asked before what you will sell, because nothing pays until this is done. Some banks and processors refuse this work; the plan says which, by country, before you open anything. Consent records for other people Asked now rather than left for the plan, because it decides what you need before the first shoot. A replaced face does not replace consent, and some platforms ask for the release at upload. What you were offered Plain words. IMAGO quotes this back on the step about that agreement, so you are reading the terms rather than recalling them.
