# Creator Revenue (The 1% Tax)

Here's the part every KOL will love: **every time anyone buys or sells your Creator Shares, you earn.**

## How it works

Socio charges a **flat 10% of Creator Tax** on every buy and sell. Of that 1%:

| Share of the tax | Who receives it       |
| ---------------- | --------------------- |
| **90%**          | **You (The Creator)** |
| **10%**          | The Socio protocol    |

That means every single transaction in your token's economy generates income **directly for you**.

## A concrete example

Say a fan buys 100 USD worth of your Creator Shares:

```
Fan pays ............ 100.00 USD
Creator Tax (1%) ....  1.00 USD  → straight to your wallet
Protocol fee (1%) ...  1.00 USD
Fan receives ........ shares worth ~98 USD (plus Uniswap pool + gas costs)
```

Sell transactions work the same way — you earn on the way **in** and the way **out**.

## Why this model is great for creators

* **Passive, recurring income** — earn from your community's trading activity
* **Scales with your success** — more holders and more volume = more revenue
* **No upfront cost** — you only earn when your community trades; there's nothing to pay in advance
* **Both directions** — buys AND sells generate income

{% hint style="success" %}
**In plain terms:** build a loyal community, and the trading activity alone becomes a revenue stream that grows alongside your influence.
{% endhint %}

## Where does the money go?

The Creator Tax is sent **directly to your wallet** — no intermediaries, no manual claims, no waiting. It's automatic.

**Next:** head to **For Traders & Investors** to understand the market mechanics around your token.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.socio.family/for-creators-kols-monetize-your-influence/creator-revenue-the-1-tax.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
