Do I need an audience to make money on VERGR?

Not much of one. Anyone can tip your posts from day one. To be paid you join the Creator Program, and one way in needs no followers: 20 posts in 30 days.

Ways into the Creator Program

• Audience: 100 followers.
• Streamer: stream on 5 days, 120 minutes in total, within 30 days.
• Builder: invite 5 friends who are still active after a week.
• Contributor: publish 20 posts in 30 days.

You need one of these plus a verified ID. Anything you earn before you're approved is kept.

Going live on the free plan needs 100 followers. Posting and squad hangouts don't.
