Newsletter

Good morning, Inkstra! Today I would like to introduce you all to Inkstra's 'Hidden Hinkus'. Inspired by a decades-old magical kingdom's city-wide game (if you live in Florida you know), all of you may randomly run across the 'Hidden Hinkus' embedded directly on the website. If you are lucky enough to come across this while reading people's work, don't hesitate to interact with it as it'll provide one of three benefits: 1. Helps out the creator of the series you're reading by creating 50 ad impressions for the series that'll be shown site-wide. 2. A free 1-day Inkstra+ trial. 3. A free 7-day Inkstra+ trial. These will be rare encounters, so good luck out there and stay vigilant!! YOU MUST BE SIGNED IN TO BE REWARDED BY THIS. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ACCOUNT, YOU CAN RUN INTO HINKUS BUT IT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REDEEM THE REWARDS. Before I wrap up this newsletter, what does the Hidden Hinkus look like? - Be on the lookout for the site's logo 'Hinkus', which can be seen at the top of the website in the navigation bar. Hinkus the squid is Inkstra's mascot, and is named after the founder's bunny 'Mitty Chungpotamoohinkus Flats'. Hinkus will be encapsulated within a glowing container so it should stick out when it appears! That about wraps today's newsletter! If you would like more information, a breakdown of 'Hidden Hinkus' can be seen by clicking the 'Guides' button at the bottom of any webpage, you can even find the chances of encountering one of these fun events which will fluctuate over time.

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, we're thrilled to introduce Inkstra, a new publishing platform designed specifically for webtoon, manga, and comic creators. This is our inaugural newsletter, and we're reaching out to invite you to join us as a founding creator. What is Inkstra? Inkstra is a creator-first platform where you can publish, share, and monetize your original works. We've built Inkstra with creators in mind—you retain full ownership of your content, and you're free to publish elsewhere at any time. Our platform supports everything from all-ages content to mature themes (with proper age-gating), and we're committed to protecting your intellectual property. Monetization That Works for You We believe creators deserve a fair share of the revenue they generate. That's why Inkstra offers: • 70% Revenue Share: We split eligible revenue 70/30 in your favor—one of the most generous splits in the industry. This applies to both ad revenue and subscription revenue (INKSTRA+). • Engagement-Based Payouts: Your earnings are calculated using an engagement-weighted algorithm that rewards authentic reader activity—views, unique readers, likes, and comments all contribute to your share. • Transparent Payouts: Once you reach $50 USD in earnings, payouts are automatically sent to your Stripe Connect account each month. • Multiple Revenue Streams: Earn from both display ads and subscription revenue sharing, maximizing your potential income. To be eligible for monetization, you'll need to be 18+, have at least 1 public series with 4 published chapters, and reach 2,000 unique readers. Once approved, you'll begin accruing earnings and receive your first payout in the next cycle. Why Join as a Founding Creator? As a founding creator, you'll be part of building something special from the ground up. You'll have the opportunity to shape the platform's direction, get priority support, and establish your presence before the platform scales. Plus, with our generous revenue share and engagement-based model, early creators have the potential to earn significantly as the platform grows. Get Started Today Ready to join us? Create your account, start publishing your work, and apply for monetization once you meet the eligibility requirements. We're here to support you every step of the way. Questions or Want to Connect?
