Contributing Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Awesome Creator Economy. Your suggestions help this list stay useful and current.

Quality Standards

This list is curated, not exhaustive. We follow the Awesome Manifesto. Entries must be:

  • Actively maintained. No abandoned projects.
  • Useful. A creator, seller, or buyer must benefit from using it.
  • Specific. Generic tools without a clear creator-economy use case will be rejected.
  • Honest. No fake reviews, deceptive pricing, or scammy products.

How to Add an Entry

  1. Fork this repository.

  2. Find the right section for your entry. If unsure, open an issue first to discuss the best fit.

  3. Add your entry in alphabetical order within the section, except for sections that explicitly note otherwise.

  4. Use this exact format:

    - [Name](URL) - One-sentence description ending with a period.
    • The name must match the official product name.
    • The URL must point to the product's homepage, not an affiliate or tracked link.
    • The description must be a single sentence, end with a period, and avoid marketing buzzwords like "revolutionary," "world's best," or "game-changing."
    • Keep descriptions under 25 words.

  5. Open a pull request with a clear title and a short explanation of why the entry fits this list.

What Gets Rejected

  • Affiliate or tracked links.
  • Inactive or abandoned products (no updates in 12+ months).
  • Self-promotion without genuine value to readers.
  • Duplicate entries already on the list.
  • Entries with marketing language or hype.
  • Products that don't serve creators, sellers, or buyers in the digital economy.
  • Products with clearly poor reputation, scammy pricing, or unethical practices.

Pull Request Format

Please structure your PR description like this:

**What:** Brief description of the product.
**Section:** Which section you added it to.
**Why it fits:** Why this product belongs on the list.
**Disclosure:** Are you affiliated with this product? (We accept self-submissions but require disclosure.)

Updates and Removals

  • If a product changes name, URL, or scope, please open a PR to update it.
  • If a product becomes abandoned or unethical, please open an issue or PR to remove it.

Suggesting New Sections

If you want to suggest a new category, open an issue first. We'll discuss whether it fits the scope of this list before merging changes.

Code of Conduct

Be respectful in issues, PRs, and discussions. We follow the Contributor Covenant. Harassment, spam, or bad-faith arguments will result in a ban.

License

By contributing, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under the same CC0 1.0 Universal license as the rest of the project. This means your contributions enter the public domain.

Thank you for helping make this list better.
