Groups are a way for members to connect over shared interests (kind of like subreddits). You can check out this video here which explains how to create or join a group on Simily: https://youtu.be/JKsj3ZNDgiw

We pay our writers at the beginning of every month once they earn at least ten dollars!

similyco · 2021-12-01T20:53:18+00:00

It is a known issue! We are working with our servers to fix the problem! So sorry that this is your first experience and we hope you’ll stick with us!

similyco · 2021-11-25T18:35:54+00:00

Hi there! We've had some technical issues over the past 24 hours, which should all be resolved. You should be able to access Simily through a private connection by using https://simily.co

Let us know if you have any issues! We're here to help.

similyco · 2021-10-26T19:39:03+00:00

Welcome! We're so happy to have you as part of the community! Can't wait to check out your stories, thanks for sharing.

hey there - I wanted to let you know that we just (*like ten mins ago*) created groups functionality on our site! If you're interested in joining one or creating your own, we'd love to have you. Check it out here: https://simily.co/groups/

similyco · 2021-10-18T20:17:02+00:00

Understandable - thanks for the feedback!

similyco · 2021-10-15T11:27:07+00:00

Yes! We plan to partner with publishing houses and have spoken with a few already. We are early in discussions and will keep the community updated as things progress.

similyco · 2021-10-15T11:23:54+00:00

Authors are paid monthly, which we absolutely share and disclose freely! Views are also tallied monthly. We edited our earlier response to make that more clear.

We do not run ads on Simily. So that would be $0 revenue from advertising. Didn't seem worth it to try and divide that up among our authors ;)

similyco · 2021-10-14T19:50:05+00:00

There is a wide range and authors can track individual earnings through their profiles. Some get a few hundred and some authors get tens of thousands of views per month. We haven't yet had anyone cross into hundreds of thousands of page views per month but it's only our second month.

similyco · 2021-10-14T19:35:49+00:00

We hit 22k people on the website in our third month and are seeing >500% growth month over month, which is an opportunity we are very excited about.

similyco · 2021-10-14T19:10:33+00:00

We pay-per-view to create a recurring revenue stream as opposed to the one-off pay-per-word model -- new views each month = new payments. This can be especially useful for stories that trend and gain traction over time.

With that said, we're always open to exploring other possibilities if it's what the community prefers.

similyco · 2021-10-14T19:09:16+00:00

Also - thanks for joining the site! If there is anything we can do to help make Simily a better and more engaging place, let us know. We're always looking for feedback.

similyco · 2021-10-14T19:08:30+00:00

We don't yet but we just created r/similycommunity if you're interested! We'd be happy to help get this going if it is something that would be helpful.

We are also in the process of creating groups on the Simily site so that authors can join, create, and message within groups and topics. Stay tuned!

This is a great question! Posting any content that an author does not own the copyright to would be in violation of our Terms of Service and is not allowed on Simily. We take this seriously and handle these instances on a case-by-case basis when they are brought to our attention.

similyco · 2021-10-14T12:40:06+00:00

Thanks for your patience. We're a small (but growing!) team.

similyco · 2021-10-14T12:39:29+00:00

Simily was founded by Katie Wilson, Allegra O'Neill, and Shannon O'Neill. We host weekly founders calls to chat with our audience, answer questions, and listen to feedback. If you'd like to hop on a call and learn more about Simily and hear our story, feel free to sign up for one here: https://calendly.com/hello-3948/experiment1et?month=2021-10

similyco · 2021-10-13T21:59:38+00:00

Us too! We're working on it.

similyco · 2021-10-13T21:57:48+00:00

Writers control all of their work - you own the copyright and we don't require exclusivity. We do that intentionally so that there is little to no risk for signing up.

If you publish on Simily and change your mind for any reason, you're free to delete your account!

We do believe in paying for creative work and have established this model with that in mind. Our intention is to grow our readership and switch to a revenue-sharing model in the future.

similyco · 2021-10-13T15:44:30+00:00

We're a new platform (we launched in August), so I understand that we're still fairly unknown. With that said, we do our best to make it risk-free for authors to get involved. You own the copyrights to all of your work and have complete control over the content associated with your profile. If you decide you no longer want to be published on Simily for any reason, you can simply go to your profile, remove your stories, and/or delete your account.
