Who can use this

A signed-in account with Creator Studio enabled.

Before you start

A stage is only marked Outcome recorded when My Blurbly has the saved evidence described on its card.

Social content planning is always local-first. Personal Buffer connection and delivery appear only after My Blurbly activates its approved app client, callback, encrypted token store and the separate delivery switch. Connecting never publishes; only an explicit schedule request can create a Buffer post.

Steps

1. Open Creator Studio → Start. Choose a Creator tool shows a suggested next action and independent profile, campaign, content, delivery, results and service tools.
2. Publish the professional profile fields you want Authors and publishers to see. Private account details remain private.
3. Build a media kit from dated, source-labelled audience snapshots, portfolio work, testimonials and optional starting rates.
4. Publish a typed-block business mini-site, then review its privacy-safe first-party views and outbound clicks.
5. Review ARC promotion terms yourself, manage campaign work and publish clear services. Opportunities are not guaranteed suitable, and a service enquiry is not a booking or payment.
6. Save content briefs, disclosures, destinations and dates in the private planner. A local queue entry has not been sent anywhere.
7. Publish using an account or tool you control, or explicitly choose Schedule with Buffer when member delivery is active. A Buffer schedule is still not Published until Buffer reports sent.
8. Submit source-labelled campaign results, wait for Author confirmation and track the related compensation record through external settlement.

What happens next

Creator Studio distinguishes local plans, provider-confirmed schedules, sent publication evidence, self-reported external records and unavailable delivery without pretending that a route or date proves publication.

Common problems

Connect Buffer account is unavailable.

The connection stays blocked until operations activates My Blurbly's own Buffer App Client ID and secret, registers the exact callback address, supplies a 32-byte encryption key and applies the private connection schema. My Blurbly's private publishing credentials are never used for member accounts.

A scheduled planner item did not appear on social media.

First check whether it is labelled Local plan or Scheduled in Buffer. Local plans were never sent. For Buffer schedules, refresh delivery status and open the provider evidence. If the result says Check Buffer manually, inspect Buffer before retrying so you do not create a duplicate.

An earnings record does not show money in My Blurbly.

The earnings area is an evidence ledger, not a wallet. Payments happen outside My Blurbly, and manual-paid means the Author recorded external settlement.
