All about being a talent
A Talent is an artist, company, professional or user who produces content for commercial purposes and interacts with fans, earning money through payments for exclusive content or monthly contributions through memberships.
There are many details below about payments, fees and restrictions that you should read in full if you are a Talent.
Affiliation
To become a talent and be able to sell exclusive content, create memberships, accept donations and allow custom requests. Simply create an Individual or Business account and activate the Oshinstar Pro account.
By activating the Pro account, you will enable exclusive tools for talents, be able to showcase your creations through exclusive content or memberships and receive recurring revenue from your profile.
Memberships are for your most passionate fans. At Oshinstar, you can provide your fans with something exciting that gives them unique benefits, such as access to additional content, exclusivity and more personalized communication. In turn, you'll receive the loyal support of your now-sponsors and recurring revenue from memberships that sponsors have purchased on Oshinstar.
Payments
As a talent, you can create an Oshinstar membership and provide it to your fans on a subscription basis.
We handle payment issues such as: fraud, chargebacks and payment dispute resolution. We may also block or hold payments for violations of our policies or for compliance reasons. When payments are delayed or blocked, we try to communicate the reason immediately. If you have questions about a payment block, please contact us. To protect talent, we may block fan payments if we believe they are fraudulent.
Rate
Registration on the platform is free and commissions on sales are not included. Oshinstar will not keep any percentage of your revenue as a talent at the time of making a sale of exclusive content or subscription.

If your fans include people under the age of 18, remind them that they need permission to join your membership and that children under the age of 13 may not use Oshinstar. We are not obligated to allow any particular person or group of people to be your sponsor. As a talent, you are also responsible for keeping user data secure. An account is tied to your creative output and cannot be sold or transferred for use by another talent or user.
All about Professionals and Businesses
One of the objectives of the Professional and Business profiles at Oshinstar is to connect with a target audience and attract clients, to have a solid network of contacts to strengthen relationships with other professionals.
Many of the functionalities of a professional or business account are focused on finding qualified profiles, projects or companies to do business with or promote your services, products or knowledge about different industries in the art world.
You will be able to create job postings, projects and casting to promote the vacancies you need in your project or business and the facility to manage all the applications in general of your business.
All about being a Fan and Sponsor
A Fan is a user who supports an Oshinstar talent by following their career through interaction on their profile and their creations.
When a Fan proceeds with the payment of an Oshinstar membership, they automatically become a Patron. As a Sponsor, you can interact directly with the talents you are supporting, using various tools. Through our platform, the Sponsor has the opportunity to interact with a larger community exclusively from the Talent.
As a Sponsor, you are part of a movement to support a Talent through your membership through a subscription. You get special benefits such as access to exclusive creations, personalized experiences and access to the Talent's fan community.
The amount of each membership subscription depends on the type of membership agreement the Talent enters into.
To become a Patron Fan, simply create an account, activate Pro mode, add your preferred payment method and join an Oshinstar membership to start supporting your favorite talent.
There are two ways to become a fan sponsor, the first is through a monthly subscription, where you can get additional exclusive content and the second is by purchasing per creation. Where you buy an exclusive creation, where only fans who pay for it will be able to view the content.
Talent memberships vary and we have limited control over the quality and specific offerings. We try to detect fraudulent talent users, but we cannot guarantee the identity of the talent or the validity of the claims they make. We appreciate your help in reporting suspicious talent so that we can keep Oshinstar safe.
Oshinstar's role
We proactively screen some profiles and postings on Oshinstar, as well as profiles reported by the community to identify potential violations of our guidelines.
We proactively screen some profiles and postings on Oshinstar to ensure that talents follow our terms. We also investigate reports of possible violations. These investigations may take some time to resolve depending on their complexity.
In most situations, we will work with talent to resolve any potential violations and allow the talent to continue using Oshinstar. Account termination is not an action we take lightly and is done only in the most extreme cases.
Oshinstar reserves the right to remove a Talent or Fan Sponsor from participating in memberships. Removal of the Talent or Sponsoring Fan from participation in memberships will prohibit the Talent from accepting further payments and prohibit the Sponsoring Fan from making further payments, but will not result in the automatic removal of the Talent or Sponsoring Fan from the platform, unless there is an independent basis for removal from the platform.
