An invitation to join the platform requires an individual to be at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 10,000 followers across all social media platforms.
Fanfix has expanded in the MENA region’s thriving creator economy to revolutionise the way content is created, consumed, and monetised. With this website, creators can connect with their fans through exclusive, behind-the-scenes content gated behind a paywall. They can also monetise their DMs with pay-per-message prices and virtual tip jars for posts by setting their own prices for exclusive feeds.
Through proactive content moderation and a community reporting system, Fanfix maintains an environment that is suitable for all ages and fosters inclusivity. This ensures that creators thrive, and users confidently engage and enjoy exclusive content by their favourite creators.
Recognising the immense talent and potential of content creators in the region, Fanfix MENA is committed to providing them with the necessary tools and support to flourish in their respective content fields.
Launched by entrepreneurs Harry Gestetner and Simon Pompan, and social media personality Cameron Dallas in Los Angeles, the platform now has more than 7m creators globally.
Speaking about the expansion, Ally Salama, Director of Fanfix MENA, said: “The creator economy is a $250bn market, with much of it still untapped. We are on the cusp of witnessing the most significant paradigm shift across the UAE and KSA within the MENA creator economy, as countries adopt innovative ways to harness the power of the internet and community building over the next five years.”
Fanfix uses a web-based application accessible across all browsers, supporting all types of content under 13+ content guidelines. To receive an invitation to join the platform, individuals must be over 18 years and have a minimum of 10,000 followers across all social media platforms. The application process happens through the Fanfix official website, which then goes through an internal review process. Upon approval by the Fanfix team, creators are contacted and, after verification, can begin publishing content and promoting their activated profile. Creators retain 80% of their earnings, while Fanfix holds 20% to cover operational expenses and maintain the platform’s functionality.
The platform also offers subscriber count and daily revenue insights to all creators to better understand their audiences.
