Why does Publica Now exist?
In 2026, selling your work as an independent creator is still a bad deal. Substack keeps 10% plus card processing and trains AI on your content by default. Amazon KDP demands up to 65% royalties on the wrong plan and asks for 90-day exclusivity. Patreon promises discovery — the company itself admits it doesn't deliver — and the real fee scales to 12-20% once processing, conversion, and VAT are added. The conclusion is simple: the platforms dominating the creator economy today are optimized for themselves, not for the creator. Publica Now exists to flip that balance.
What we believe
Full ownership
Your work is yours. Your customer list is yours. If you want to leave, you take everything with one click: catalog, sales, contacts. No 60-day holds, no penalties, no tenure contracts. Portability isn't a favor — it's the only honest way to operate.
Free pricing
You decide what your work is worth. $0.99 or $99. Change it whenever you want. Bundle three at the price of two. Give away the first and sell the second. Nobody forces a floor, a ceiling, a discount — or an "algorithm-suggested price".
Any format
A book, an album, photos, a course, a documentary, a podcast, a PDF, a ZIP of stems. If you created it and it's legal, you sell it here. One profile for all your work — no need to open accounts on four platforms by format.
No gatekeepers
No editor decides whether your work "deserves" to be listed. No waiting list. No curation asking you to tweak your work to fit a niche. Meet the law and basic terms — published the second you hit "publish".
What we pledge
-
01
Get paid in local currency
ARS, BRL, MXN, COP, CLP, EUR, USD: your buyer pays in their currency and you get paid in yours. No counting dollars you can't actually collect.
-
02
Export is a button
Your catalog and customer list export to CSV/JSON in under 30 seconds. Whenever you want. No tickets to support, no signatures, no justification.
-
03
AI training opt-out, in writing
By default, your work does NOT train AI models. It's written in the terms. If it ever does, it'll be with explicit per-case consent and compensation.
-
04
Human support
Email answered by humans, in business hours, across LATAM and Europe. No chatbots redirecting you to an FAQ. No tickets that auto-close at 72 hours.
-
05
Commission published
25% + USD 0.50 per paid sale. No volume tiers. No hidden fees. No "premium" rates that appear once you grow. Published on /pricing, no surprises.
What we are not
We are not a label. We are not a publisher. We are not an agency. We won't take exclusivity on your work. We won't rent your contact list. We won't feed AI models with your work without telling you. We won't profit from information asymmetry — everything is published on /pricing, in the terms, and in this manifesto.
The manifesto in one line
Build whatever you want. Sell it your way. Take it with you whenever you want.
