Quick-Start — your first client, fast
You're approved. Five steps to go live and land your first sale — most creators are done in about twenty minutes.
Set up your profile
~3 minAdd an avatar, your name, a short bio, and pick your @handle — it lives in every link you share.
Create your offer
~7 minStart with 1:1 Coaching or a Community. Give it a title, a short pitch, and set your price / month. Don't over-polish — edit anytime.
Turn on payouts
~5 minConnect Stripe (identity + bank), then confirm your billing details — that switches your payouts on.
Go live
~1 minFlip Go live on your offer (needs a price + connected payouts). Now you show up in Discovery.
Share your link
~2 minYour first clients come from your own audience. Post your link — sageacademy.app/@you — in your bio and stories.
That's it — you're open. Every sale lands in Revenue, you're paid weekly, on Mondays, and Sage issues the invoice for you.

01
Get approved
In the Sage app, open Become a creator and apply:
- Your name, a social link (IG / TikTok / YouTube — how we verify you), follower count, email.
- Tick the Creator Agreement — the contract that lets us pay you and issue your invoices.
- Submit. Reviewed by hand; you're notified of the decision — pending / approved / not approved (with a reason + re-apply).
02
Build your offer
Creator profile
Shared across every offer: avatar, name, bio (300 chars), social link, and your @handle (checked live — it's in all your links, so changing it breaks old ones).
1:1 Coaching
Your private offer (exactly one), built in three places:
- Coaching — channel identity: title, banner, tagline.
- Discovery card — how you appear in the list: card banner, title, text.
- Sales page — title + tagline, up to 2 categories, search keywords, a gallery, price / month, the pitch, reviews toggle, share link.
To go live: set a price + connect payouts, then flip Go live — that's what puts you in Discovery.
Communities
Group offers (run several). Create with a name, then the same three surfaces; priced monthly + annually. Go live needs a price + payouts.
Pitch editor
Build a page from blocks — Heading, Text, Checklist, Photo, Slider, Video: add, reorder, remove.
