Join Ripple and complete your profile

Your creator profile is the information studios see when they decide whether to share a campaign or review your application. Keep it accurate, specific, and current; it should explain what you create and who your content reaches without overpromising results.

During beta, creator accounts are reviewed by Ripple before they receive full campaign access.

Complete creator onboarding

After registration, open the creator account-setup page and complete these steps:

1. Verify your email using the link sent to your inbox. If it is missing, use Resend Email and check spam or security-filter folders.
2. Secure your account by enabling two-factor authentication with an authenticator app. This is required on Ripple because the platform handles payments. A passkey is optional and can make sign-in easier.
3. Complete your profile using the profile form described below.
4. Connect at least one social account (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook) so the Ripple team can review your channel and verify your profile signals.
5. Submit your account for Ripple’s beta review once the required steps are complete.

While the account is waiting for review, Ripple shows the onboarding status. If Ripple requests a correction, update the relevant information and submit again.

Complete the minimum profile

Select Complete profile during onboarding and provide:

• a Display name: normally your channel or creator name;
• a short Bio describing your content, games, and audience;
• up to three Best for positioning statements;
• your Steam game genres (gaming niches).

Your display name is required. The other fields make it easier for a studio to understand your fit. Write the bio for a studio that has never seen your channel: say what you cover, which formats you make, and the audience or game communities you know best.

For example:

Long-form RPG reviews and first-look videos for French- and English-speaking PC players. Best for narrative launches, open-world discoveries, and detailed audience-first coverage.

Do not claim an audience size, country, language, or game specialty that your public content does not support.

Maintain your public profile after approval

After approval, open Public Profile → Creator Profile from the creator sidebar (and Public Profile → Overview to preview how studios see your page). The profile editor is organized into five tabs:

• Profile: manage your profile image, wide hero image, display name, public handle, bio, hero tagline, and up to three Best for positioning statements.
• Creator fit: update your Steam Game Genres and Content Languages to reflect the genres and languages you actively cover. Studios use these when searching and when Smart Matching evaluates campaign compatibility.
• Content: use Featured Content Selection to choose up to four videos from your connected platforms to showcase on your public profile. Featured videos are a portfolio showcase, not campaign submissions.
• Audience and Stats: review your audience demographics and connected channel statistics.

Join the private Ripple Discord

Once your creator account is Approved, you can join the private Ripple Discord server to receive new campaign announcements, follow product updates, and talk directly with the Ripple team:

1. Open Settings → Community (or click the Discord card on your Dashboard).
2. Select Join on Discord and authorize the Discord connection.
3. Ripple links your Discord user ID to your creator account, adds you directly to the private server, and immediately discards the OAuth access token.

Once connected, you can select Join again if you ever leave the server and want to be added back.

Control matching visibility and stat refresh

In Settings → Account under Data & Privacy, you control two profile toggles:

• Auto-refresh my public stats: keeps your connected platform metrics updated automatically.
• Make my profile visible for matching: lets studios see your public genres, languages, and platform statistics in the creator directory and Smart Matching.

Turning off matching visibility does not change campaigns you have already applied to or been accepted into. It only affects future discovery and matching.

A profile-quality checklist

Before applying to campaigns, check that your profile answers these questions:

• Can a studio understand your Steam genres and content formats in under a minute?
• Are the languages and game communities you list accurate?
• Do your Best for statements describe real strengths rather than vague claims?
• Do your featured videos show the work you want to be hired for?
• Is matching visibility enabled if you want to be discovered?

Next, connect your social accounts.
