Earning with subscription

Dear creators,

We're excited to announce a major shift on Smotrów Related - our platform is moving to a subscription-based model, giving customers unlimited access to high-quality design assets — and giving you, our creators, a fair, scalable, and transparent way to earn more through the new Contributor Share Pool.

Let us walk you through how it works — and why it's good news for you.

Please note!

The Contributor Share Pool is a transparent and performance-driven revenue model designed specifically for creators like you. Instead of earning from one-time product purchases, you now earn a recurring income based on how often your assets are downloaded by paying subscribers.

Each month, 60% of Smotrow Related’s total subscription revenue is allocated to this pool and distributed proportionally among all creators with eligible assets. The more your work resonates with the creative community, the larger your share becomes. It’s a system that rewards quality, consistency, and relevance — empowering you to earn from your talent in a sustainable, scalable way.

Main features:

One subscription, all access
Users now pay $38/month or $360/year for full access to the entire library of products available in the subscription. However, unlike other platforms, we allow you to decide whether your product should be included in the subscription or not. This can be easily managed from the edit page panel of each product in your dashboard. While inclusion in the subscription is optional, we highly recommend it.
Why? Because products in the subscription model gain significantly more visibility, downloads, and discoverability. Subscribers are more likely to explore and try new assets when they don’t face additional paywalls — which means more exposure for your work, and a larger share of the pool for you.
A shared revenue pool
Every month, 60% of the platform's total subscription revenue is allocated to the Contributor Share Pool — a fund distributed between all participating creators.
Fair performance-based payouts
The more your assets are downloaded by active subscribers, the bigger your share of the pool.
You earn what your work deserves
For example, if your products make up 4% of total downloads that month, you receive 4% of the pool. If the pool is $60,000, you earn $2,400. See full details here

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep some products available only for direct sale?
Yes. You’re always in control. Simply choose which assets to include in the subscription and which to leave as single-item purchases.
Do repeat downloads by the same user count?
No. Only the first valid download from an active subscriber is counted toward the Contributor Share Pool.
When are payouts made?
Every month, within the first 10 days of the new month — along with a full performance and earnings report.

Final note
