Just approved? Work through this checklist to set yourself up for a strong start. Each step uses a feature that works today, and the list flags the parts of the program that are still coming so you do not go looking for them.
Step-by-step
- Sign in to the partner interface. Once your partner account is active, you land in the Partner Hub with links to the Dashboard, Community, Creator Studio, and Settings. If you still see the regular dashboard, sign out and back in.
- Complete your profile. Add your display name, avatar, and bio so readers recognize you everywhere your name appears.
- Apply for Echo Writer in Creator Studio → Ezana Echo if you plan to publish. Review typically takes 2 to 3 business days.
- Connect a payout account in Settings → Payouts, using Plaid or manual bank details.
- Publish something. Save a first Echo draft, then submit it for review once it passes 100 words.
- Upload a lesson video in the Creator Studio Videos tab if video hosting is enabled for you.
What you’ll see
The Partner Hub greets you by name. The Partner Dashboard shows earnings, copier, strategy, and payout panels, but these currently display illustrative sample figures, not your data. Your real payout balance and history are in Settings, then Payouts.
Things to know
- Copy trading has not launched, so strategy and copier panels are previews.
- Referral links are not currently available in the app.
- Course publishing through a self-serve builder is not currently available.
- Echo Writer is a separate approval from partner status.
Troubleshooting
- Interface still looks like a regular account. Sign out and back in.
- No Payouts tab. It appears only once your partner account is active.
- Cannot publish yet. Wait for Echo Writer approval.
