How Authentic Works for Models

Monetize your likeness with AI-generated content while keeping full control over how your image is used.

Step 1

Create Your Profile

Sign up and complete your model profile with your display name, bio, and attributes. Set your per-image pricing (minimum $20) and define any content restrictions — for example, no alcohol brands, no political content, or any other boundaries you want.

You control:

Your per-image price
Content categories you allow or restrict
Your public profile visibility

Step 2

Upload Reference Photos

Upload a set of 6 reference photos from specific angles: front close-up, left angle, right angle, left side profile, right side profile, and full length. These photos are used by brands to create accurate AI representations of you.

Photo guidelines:

White or neutral background
Good, even lighting
High resolution (at least 1024x1024)
Natural expression, minimal makeup

Step 3

Review Collaboration Requests

When a brand wants to work with you, they send a collaboration request explaining who they are, what their brand is about, and how they plan to use your likeness. You review these requests and decide which brands to work with.

For each request you see:

Company name and website
Industry and intended use
Personal message from the brand
Built-in messaging for questions

Step 4

Approve Every Image

After approving a collaboration, the brand creates AI images using your reference photos and submits them for your review. You see every single image and can approve or reject each one individually. Rejected images are never licensed.

Your approval rights:

Review each image individually
Reject for any reason
Provide feedback on rejections
Revoke collaboration access at any time

Step 5

Get Paid

When a brand pays for your approved images, you earn 80% of the license fee. Payouts are processed weekly via Stripe directly to your bank account or debit card. The more collaborations you have, the more you earn — it's passive income from your likeness.

of every license fee goes directly to you

Common Questions

Is it free to join?

Yes. There are no upfront costs or monthly fees. Authentic takes 20% of each license fee as a platform fee, so you earn 80% of every transaction.

Can I control what brands I work with?

Absolutely. Every brand must request a collaboration before they can access your reference photos or submit images. You can approve, reject, or revoke access at any time.

What if I don't like an AI image of me?

You reject it. You review every single image and can reject any for any reason. Only images you explicitly approve can be licensed and used commercially.

How much can I earn?

You set your own price per image (minimum $20). If you set $50/image and a brand licenses 10 images, you earn $400 (80% of $500). Active models with multiple collaborations can earn significantly more.
