Creator Standards & Bio Gateway Guidelines
Last Updated: September 15, 2026
Curious About is built for independent creators across every field and industry to safely grow their audience and build an email list they truly own directly from social media.
Our guiding principle is The Clean Gateway. Regardless of your creative niche, background, or external platforms, your Curious About page serves as a pristine, universal front door that welcomes followers to subscribe to your publication.
The Clean Gateway Principle
To ensure your bio links remain fully compliant and reliable across social networks, maintaining a clear, focused landing page is essential:
- Your Public Front Door: Your Curious About page is designed solely to introduce your name, present your creative focus, and invite interested readers to subscribe to your newsletter.
- Editorial & Newsletter Separation: Your Curious About page serves as your public landing page, focused on introducing your publication. Once readers join your newsletter, your direct subscriber updates and editorial delivery take place directly through your connected email service.
- Network-Wide Protection: By keeping every bio container focused, clean, and minimalist, the Curious About domain maintains high deliverability across all social networks, ensuring your links never experience delivery interruptions or account restrictions.
1. Public Bio Page Presentation
To ensure continuous compliance with standard platform guidelines, all copy hosted directly on your Curious About bio page must adhere to universal audience standards:
- Handles & Page Titles: Your handle and page title should clearly reflect your public identity, publication, creator moniker, or studio name.
- Taglines & Bio Copy: Keep your bio message clear, welcoming, and focused on inviting visitors to join your subscriber list. Bio copy on the gateway page must remain suitable for general audiences of all demographics.
- Authentic Representation: Creators must represent their own identity or brand fairly. Unauthorized impersonation of other creators or trademarked entities is prohibited.
2. Profile Avatars & Visual Media
Your profile avatar is the visual anchor of your bio gateway:
- High-Quality Presentation: Use original portraits, creative headshots, studio logos, or custom digital artwork.
- Universal Appropriateness: Images displayed directly on your public bio container must remain suitable for general audiences.
- Supported Media: Standard high-resolution digital image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) within standard file dimensions.
3. Post-Subscription Experience
The confirmation screen displayed to visitors after submitting their email address:
- Welcoming Confirmation: Thank your new subscriber, set expectations for your upcoming editions, and guide them to check their inbox.
- Preserving Gateway Health: Bio pages must not initiate automated browser redirects, unauthorized downloads, or third-party advertising popups.
- Direct Subscriber Updates: Use your welcome email sequence within your connected email provider (Mailchimp, Kit, Brevo, MailerLite) to deliver your editorial issues, newsletters, and creative work directly to your confirmed subscribers.
4. Platform Safety & Fair Use
To protect the deliverability of all creator links across Instagram, TikTok, and social platforms, the public gateway does not host:
- Misleading claims, unverified financial schemes, or fraudulent solicitations.
- Content promoting personal harassment, hostility, or discrimination.
- Unlicensed promotion of controlled or restricted items.
- Malicious software, deceptive scripts, or abusive data collection.
5. Automated Protection System
All creator handles, page copy, and profile pictures are automatically screened prior to publishing:
- Any text or media that does not align with safety standards on your public bio page will be gently flagged during saving, with suggestions to keep the public gateway clean and universal.
- This proactive protection is what guarantees your social media accounts remain completely safe from delivery interruptions or account restrictions while you build your community.
