Become a Creator
Voronoi was built to become the home for data storytelling, where Creators can let their creativity shine and reach millions of people through their work.
To begin with, only approved Creator accounts will have the ability to post content on the app. This safeguards the app against spam and misinformation, and helps ensure a high-quality experience for Voronoi users.
The Application Process
Applying to become a creator is easy, and anyone is eligible to do so. Once the account you’d like to post from is created, look for the Become a Creator button in the profile section of your app or visit this page. From there, you’ll be prompted to draft a sample post. Note: Currently, the application from is optimized for desktop.
Generally, people and organizations who match the following criteria have the best chance of being approved:
- A history of public-facing data storytelling
- Image-based work (features like video and interactivity are in development)
- Work that is error-free and fact-based
- Creators with work that is generally mobile-friendly will be prioritized
You’ll receive an email once we’ve processed your application. If it’s successful, the post you drafted will be there for you to publish once you access the creator dashboard.
FAQ
Q: Why apply to become a Creator?
A: Firstly, Voronoi is the first platform built specifically for data storytelling. Posts on the app are anchored by data and sourcing, which is critical for building trust with your audience. Next, Voronoi is a new platform, and early Creators will have the unique opportunity to build an engaged audience from the very beginning.
Q: Can my organization join Voronoi as a Creator?
A: Of course! If your company or organization creates data visualizations, we encourage you to apply for an account above. We already have some media companies and NGOs with Creator accounts. However, please note that organizations are not able to be compensated in the same way as independent Creators through the Creator Program.
Q: Will independent Creators be compensated on the platform?
A: Eventually, but not right from the outset. A top priority for Voronoi is making sure that Creators benefit from their work, both in building an audience and in sharing the value created by the platform as it grows.
In the short term, approved Creators can opt into Visual Capitalist’s Creator Program, and be compensated for work that is published on the Visual Capitalist website and newsletter. See details here.
Q: Can I promote my newsletter/website/social accounts?
A: Yes. Creators can link out from the post copy, and it’s fine to promote external pages within reason.
